On behalf of the team, I am excited to announce the release of the first milestone of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2.

Note: A great way to start using this new release(s) is to follow the release matrix on the project page, which includes the download coordinates and the links to the reference guide.

Over the last few weeks, we have added new features and improvements to the overall orchestration of data microservices. The following new features were included in the 1.2.0.M1 release:

Core

• Introduce dedicated prefixes for deployment properties. Using the deployer properties is as simple as deployer.<appname>.xxx as opposed to app.<appname>.spring.cloud.deployer.xxx
• Introduce a new REST-API controller and shell support to cleanup Task Executions
• Foundation work to consolidate the use of controllers between Task deployments and Task Executions
• Consolidate REST-API call traces and return codes for consistency
• Adds role-based access control to define who has access to create, deploy, destroy, or view streams/tasks. This works seamlessly in coordination with the supported authentication methods…

We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 1.2.0.M1 is now available via Github and the Pivotal download repository. Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release.

Spring Cloud Task 1.2.0.M1 offers the following features:

This is the first milestone for the 1.2.x line of Spring Cloud Task. Intended to continue the integrations required for Spring Cloud Data Flow, this release provides the following new features:

• Better DataSource integration between task and batch - This release makes configuring the DataSource used by the task/batch integration easier.

• Allows an external process to update the external execution id - Prior to this release, the external execution id (the execution id for the underlying platform) had to be updated by the task itself. In some use cases, this is not possible. This release exposes the ability to update the external execution id outside the scope of the task itself.

• Allow the user to configure a prefix for the task tables - Similar to how Spring Batch allows a user to configure a prefix for the batch repository tables, Spring Cloud Task now exposes the ability to configure a prefix for task repository tables as well.

On behalf of the Spring Cloud team it is my pleasure to announce a new milestone release of Spring Cloud Pipelines - 1.0.0.M3.

What’s new?

Apart from some bug and documentation fixes it’s providing an out of the box support for blue green deployment on Cloud Foundry (both for Concourse and Jenkins)! This is how we do it.

When you click deploy to prod

• we’re renaming the current instance of the app e.g. fooService to fooService-venerable

• we’re deploying the new instance of the app under the fooService name

• now two instances of the same application are running on production

When you click on the Complete switch over…

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce that Service Release 5 of the Spring Cloud Camden Release Train is available today. The release can be found in our Spring Release repository and Maven Central. The documentation can be found here.

Included in this release is the Spring Boot 1.5 compatibility of all the Spring Cloud projects. Other than the addition of Spring Cloud Task, this release includes primarily bug fixes.

NOTE: This release is not compatible with Spring Boot 1.3. In other words your Spring Boot 1.3 application will not work with Camden.SR5.

The following modules were…

It is my pleasure to announce that the Spring for Apache Kafka 1.1.3 maintenance release is available now.

As usual, thanks to the community for any feedback and contribution as always. Looking forward for more!

This release contains several bug fixes, including proper offset commit handling when using a BatchListener; therefore an upgrade is highly recommended.

Right now master has been switched to the version 2.0 for Java 8 and Spring Framework 5.0 code base. We have some plans for high-level API for Kafka Streams and Reactor Kafka support.
