I’m pleased to announce on behalf of the community Spring Security OAuth2 Boot Auto-config 2.0.6 and 2.1.0.

Both releases primarily deliver bug fixes and dependency version updates along with some minor improvements. Of particular note is that these align with recent releases of Spring Boot.

Note that for 2.1.0, gaps in configuration of keys between Resource Server and Authorization Server were brought into parity. Now, it’s possible on the Authorization Server side to configure a single key:

security:
  oauth2:
    authorization:

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I'd like to announce the availability of the Lovelace SR2 maintenance release. This release builds on the just-released Spring Framework 5.1.2 service release. Lovelace SR2 is the version that you will get with Spring Boot 2.1 GA that is scheduled for the next few days.

I am pleased to announce that Spring for Apache Kafka 2.2.0.RELEASE is now available.

While the 2.1.x release is compatible with the 2.0.0 kafka-clients jar, (since 2.1.9), this version requires 2.0.0 (and provides a 2.0.0 embedded broker for testing).

Highlights

• The SeekToCurrentErrorHandler can now "skip" records that fail repeatedly

• Such "skipped" records can be published to a dead-letter topic (or otherwise disposed of by application code)

  • Headers are added with diagnostics about the failure

• When using transactions, the same functionality can be achieved with the default AfterRollbackProcessor

• You can now use the listener container factory to create any arbitrary listener container, not just containers for @KafkaListener s

  • This allows more convenient use of Spring Boot’s auto configuration properties for any container

• @KafkaListener annotations can now override the container factory’s concurrency and autoStartup properties
