Spring Cloud Connectors 1.2.0 released

Releases | Scott Frederick | July 29, 2015 | ...

I’m pleased to announce the availability of Spring Cloud Connectors 1.2.0.

Applications that use Spring Cloud Connectors, and libraries that extend the core Connectors libraries, should be re-compiled against version 1.2.0. There were no backward-incompatible API changes between version 1.1.1 and 1.2.0, but some internal implementation changes prevent 1.2.0 from being a drop-in replacement for 1.1.1 without re-compiling.

Here's an overview of what's new in 1.2.0:

Additional Databases Supported

The Cloud Foundry Connector and Spring Connector now support IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server…

Spring Roo 2.0.0.M1 refactors addons, structures for collaboration

Releases | Pieter Humphrey | July 20, 2015 | ...

On behalf on the Spring Roo team at DISID Corporation, I am pleased to announce that Spring Roo 2.0.0.M1 has been released!

This first release of Spring Roo 2.0 is a large refactoring of Spring Roo project. We have moved Roo to be a smaller and easier to maintain project:

The OSGi container has been upgraded to OSGi R5.
Spring Roo has defined its runtime. The Roo runtime contains everything that is needed to execute addons and it doesn't contain any addon. By not containing any addons it is easier to keep the Roo runtime more stable and backward compatible.
Today, Spring Roo is centered in Spring technologies - so addons like GWT and JSF have been moved to their own projects in order to be maintained by the Roo community.
The user guide has been migrated to ASCIIdoc.

Spring Framework 4.2 RC3 released / GA on July 30

Releases | Juergen Hoeller | July 15, 2015 | ...

Dear Spring community,

Spring Framework 4.2 is not going GA today quite yet, but it's almost there: RC3 is available from repo.spring.io now, as a last release candidate before we reach GA on the 30th of July. This release includes 50 fixes and improvements over RC2, waiting for you to try them!

We decided to do another release candidate for several reasons: e.g. our continued wait for Jackson 2.6 final and Hibernate ORM 5.0 final but also our recent build upgrade to Gradle 2.5 and some last-minute refinements within our 4.2 web story (based on RC1/RC2 feedback).

I'm pleased to announce that this is in fact the first release of Spring which builds fine not only on JDK 8 but also on current JDK 9 snapshots! Our master build…
