Spring Data release train Arora available

Releases | Oliver Drotbohm | February 13, 2013 | ...

I am pleased to announce the first themed release of the Spring Data release train named Arora. Going forward we'll use names of famous computer scientists to label a set of Spring Data modules to make it easier to identify modules being compatible to each other. This mostly refers to the Spring Data Commons version they refer to.


The Arora release contains the following modules:

The major new features of the release are:

  • Annotation based auditing support through @CreatedDate, @CreatedBy etc. (except Spring Data Gemfire)
  • Exposure of Spring Data Mapping information for all modules (to be used by Spring Data REST)
  • Spring Data Mapping information being read from accessor methods as well
  • Automatic registration of JodaTime Converters if present on classpath (Spring Data MongoDB)
  • Major improvements to mapping subsystem and query execution for Spring Data MongoDB
  • Extended querying options on query methods (Spring Data Solr)
  • Annotation support for Gemfire functions (Spring Data Gemfire)
  • A tag has been added to the gfe-data XML namespace for automatic basic client connection and region configuration. (Spring Data Gemfire)
  • Support for Lettuce Redis driver (raising the count of supported driver to 5, Spring Data Redis)
  • Dynamic removal of listener for running MesageListenerContainer (Spring Data Redis)
  • Refined Maven build to ease release process

Alongside the new major versions of the Spring Data Modules we've also published bugfix releases for Spring Data Commons (1.4.1), Spring Data JPA (1.2.1) and Spring Data MongoDB (1.1.2).


Note: The artifactId of the Spring Data Commons module has changed to from spring-data-commons-core to spring-data-commons. So if you're explicitly referring to it from your project, make sure you update the reference accordingly.

The binaries will be present in Maven central shortly if not already in place.

Spring Social Twitter 1.0.3 Released

Releases | Craig Walls | February 13, 2013 | ...

Dear Spring Community,

I'm happy to announce the release of Spring Social Twitter 1.0.3.RELEASE.

Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables you to connect your Java applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter.

This is an API-update release, bringing Spring Social Twitter's API binding up to date with version 1.1 of Twitter's API. Twitter has deprecated the 1.0 version of their API and will shut it down next month. It is recommended that if you are using Spring Social Twitter 1.0.2 or lower that you immediately upgrade to Spring Social Twitter 1.0.3 to avoid any disruption in functionality.

To get the software, download the release distribution.

It is anticipated that this will be the last release of Spring Social Twitter in the 1.0.x series. Work on Spring Social 1.1.0 is well underway and is now at milestone 2 for the 1.1.0 release.

Spring Web Flow samples have been separated from the distribution and into a separate Github project. In addition the booking-mvc sample has been updated to use Thymeleaf thanks to Thymeleaf's project lead Daniel Fernández.

Spring Hateoas 0.4 released

Releases | Pieter Humphrey | January 29, 2013 | ...
Untitled Document

SpringSource would like to announce the release of Spring Hateoas 0.4!

The Spring HATEOAS project provides some APIs to ease creating REST representations that follow the HATEOAS principle when working with Spring and especially Spring MVC. HATEOAS, an abbreviation for Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State, is a constraint of the REST application architecture that distinguishes it from most other network application architectures. The core problem it tries to address is link creation and representation assembly.

In this release, the most important new features are:

- extended LinkBuilder API to point to Controller *methods* as well
- Jackson 2 support
- HAL support
- EntityLinks API to create links pointing to controllers managing a particular entity type
- introduced LinkDiscoverer API to find links in representations by rel (incl. JSONPath based implementation)

You can read about all of the new features and bug fixes in the change log. Enjoy!

Spring Tool Suite and Groovy/Grails Tool Suite 3.2.0.M2 released

Releases | Martin Lippert | January 29, 2013 | ...

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the second milestone release 3.2.0.M2 of the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS).

Highlights from this milestone build include:

  • a lot of overall performance improvements, especially for the Spring tooling
  • improvements to Live Beans Graph feature
  • improved Spring Data code completion and validation
  • Grails 2.2 included in the GGTS distribution and available on the dashboard
  • Groovy 2.0.6 compiler now included in the GGTS distribution.

Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Juno SR2 maintenance builds (not yet the final Eclipse Juno SR2 release). We still recommend to use the Eclipse-3.8-based versions of STS and GGTS for optimal performance.

The 3.2.0 release is scheduled for early March 2013 - shortly after the Eclipse Juno SR2 release.

To download the distributions, please go visit:

Detailed new and noteworthy notes can be found here: STS/GGTS 3.2.0.M2 New & Noteworthy.

Enjoy!

Spring Mobile 1.1.0.M2 Released

Releases | Roy Clarkson | January 17, 2013 | ...

Dear Spring Community,

We are happy to announce the release of Spring Mobile 1.1.0.M2!

Spring Mobile provides extensions to Spring MVC that aid in the development of cross-platform mobile web applications.

This release adds LiteDeviceDelegatingViewResolver, a ViewResolver implementation that adjusts the view name based on Device and SitePreference. It then delegates to another ViewResolver to complete the process of resolving the view. This release is built and tested against Spring Framework 3.2. See the changelog and reference manual for more information. Many thanks to the community for their support with regard to this new feature, including Scott Rossillo for his initial pull request and Neale Upstone for his input and feedback.

To retrieve the software, download the release distribution, or add the maven artifacts to your project. Sample apps are available at github.com/SpringSource/spring-mobile-samples

If you are building a mobile web app, we encourage you try out Spring Mobile 1.1.0.M2 and collaborate with us on the next iteration of the project.
