I am pleased to announce the 1.0.0.RC1 release candidate of Spring Cloud Data Flow for Mesos, a team effort that encompasses many new features under the hood.

This release candidate builds upon the recent 1.0.0.RC1 release of Spring Cloud Data Flow. Some highlights include:

• Improves orchestration mechanics by inheriting latest improvements to spring-cloud-deployer contracts and the supported functionalities.
• Builds upon feature-toggle support from Spring Cloud Data Flow’s core project to conditionally refine what features get included in each release

To get started using Spring Cloud Data Flow for Mesos follow these steps outlined…

We are pleased to announce the release of Spring Cloud Task 1.0.0.RC1. This is the first release candidate of the Spring Cloud Task project!

What's New?

This release really represents the polishing of the functionality that existed within 1.0.0.M2:

• The TaskRepository
• Task listeners
• Task integration with Spring Batch
• Task integration with Spring Cloud Stream

There are a few minor breaking changes (renaming of a few methods) but those are all to get things right for our 1.0.0.GA. This release will serve as the baseline version of Spring Cloud Data Flow's 1.0.0.RC1 as well.

What's Next?

On behalf of the Spring Data team I’d like to announce the availability of the second service release of the Spring Data Hopper release train. The release ships 103 issues fixed. We fixed a couple of bugs in the area of repository projections, especially for JPA users and introduce Hibernate 5.2 compatibility with this release (also already back-ported to the Gosling release train for inclusion in the upcoming service release). Hopper SR2 is a recommended upgrade for all Hopper users and also users of previous release trains.

Dear Spring community,

I’m pleased to announce that Spring Integration Framework 4.3 GA is now available from repo.spring.io, as well as Maven Central! Also the maintainance 4.2.8 version has been released, too. Together with an internal 4.2.7 release it includes some important bug fixes.

In addition to the feature themes mentioned in 4.3 RC1 announcement, the GA release includes several major changes:

• Upgrade to Spring Framework 4.3 GA, Spring AMQP 1.6 GA, Spring Security 4.1 GA;

• The FtpRemoteFileTemplate now provides ExistsMode option to control how an exists() operation should work;

• The FileSplitter lets represent FileMarker object as a JSON string (markersJson option) to avoid an additional spring-integration-file dependency on the consumer applications in distributed environments;

• A new JdbcLockRegistry feature has been introduced. Special thanks to Dave Syer!

• The Integration Graph has been improved with generic gateway nodes and LinkNode now has a type (input, output, error, discard, route) property for better visualization experience;

Shortly after the 1.0.1.RELEASE announcement last week we’ve identified a critical and very specific issue concerning multi-binder configurations in cloud environments. As a result, we have decided to follow up with a 1.0.2.RELEASE to handle that and ensure that the fix is available in the upcoming Brixton.SR1 release. The artifacts can be found in Spring Repository as well as Maven Central.

I will be talking about Spring Cloud Stream at Spring One Platform, which will be taking place in Las Vegas between August 1-4 this year. There are many other great talks so check the agenda and get your ticket if you haven’t done so…

I am pleased to announce the newest addition to the Spring Cloud family. Spring Cloud Cloud Foundry Service Broker is a framework for building service brokers for the Cloud Foundry platform.

Cloud Foundry service brokers

Service brokers provide a means to extend Cloud Foundry with managed services that can be consumed by applications deployed to the platform. Managed services typically expose some sort of resource to an application, such as a database or other persistent store, a messaging system, or other supporting infrastructure. Service brokers publish a catalog of services and service…
