I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.0.0.RC2.

I would like to send a special shoutout to the Spring Boot team for providing invaluable feedback on this project. Indeed, without Spring Boot and the fine efforts of the Boot team, SBDG would not be possible. So, thank you Boot team!

After incorporating the feedback, I decided to postpone the final GA and introduce 1 more release candidate. Final 1.0 GA is (tentatively) scheduled for Monday, May 6th.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Spring Cloud Open Service Broker 3.0.0.

I am pleased to announce that the first milestone of Spring Batch 4.2 has been released and is available from our milestone repository.

The major feature of this release is the addition of batch metrics with Micrometer.

Batch Metrics with Micrometer

This release introduces a new feature that lets you monitor your batch jobs by using Micrometer.

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.2.1 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Atom.

Highlights from this release include:
