On behalf of the Spring Data team I'd like to announce the general availability of our Ingalls release train. After nine months of development, this release not only contains a huge set of new features, improvements and bug fixes, it also marks the conclusion of a branch of Spring Data that has helped developers dealing with persistence for more than 5 years --- even 8, if you count in some module's predecessors.

On behalf of the Spring Integration team, I am pleased to announce that the 4.3.7.RELEASE of Spring Integration is now available.

This release contains a few important bug fixes as well as a couple of improvements.

In particular, this version uses the recently announced Spring Framework 4.3.6.

Please be aware that some performance issues were detected when using Spring Integration with Spring Framework versions 4.3.4 and 4.3.5. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version, but this could be particularly important for users of Spring Integration versions 4.3.5 and 4.3.6, which used those versions of Spring Framework respectively. See this issue…

On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring LDAP 2.3.1!

This release brings in a new era for Spring Data compatibility. Integration for Spring LDAP and Spring Data has been moved to spring-data-ldap so that it can partake in the Spring Data release train and ensure compatibility with the latest and greatest Spring Data code base.

The release also brings read only attribute support.

Note

We did an immediate release of Spring LDAP 2.3.1 due to an issue with the Spring LDAP 2.3.0 release.
