Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the first milestone release 3.2.0.M1 of the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS).

Highlights from this milestone build include:

• overall performance improvements
• updated to tc Server 2.8.1
• improvements to Live Beans Graph feature
• updated for Spring Integration 2.2
• compilation times for AspectJ projects with AJDT have been improved (reduced!)

Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Juno SR1 from September 2012. As soon as the performance work on the Eclipse Juno SR2 release is ready to be consumed, we will update to that version. In the meantime, we recommend to use the STS and GGTS versions on top of Eclipse 3.8.1.

The second milestone 3.2.0.M2 build is scheduled for late January 2013, followed by the 3.2.0 release in…

We are pleased to announce that Spring Integration 2.2 is now GA.

The artifacts are available in the SpringSource Repository as well as Maven Central, or you can download the zip here.

For a big picture view, please read the "what's new" section of the reference manual.

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce the first milestone release of Spring Social 1.1.0!

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.

Along with Spring Social 1.1.0, we are also releasing milestones for Spring Social Facebook 1.1.0 and Spring Social Twitter 1.1.0.

These 1.1.0.M1 releases include the following:

• Easier XML and Java configuration.
• Tighter adherence to the latest OAuth 2 specification drafts, including HTTP Basic client authentication and support for Resource Owner Credentials Grant and Client Credentials Grant.
• Updates to both the Facebook and Twitter API bindings, including binding to version 1.1 of Twitter's API.
• Support for OpenGraph operations in the Facebook API binding.
• Support for Facebook Query Language (FQL).

In addition, several smaller enhancements and bug fixes were applied.

To get the software, download the release distribution (Core | Facebook | Twitter).

As always, the Spring Social community has been awesome at providing feedback and contributing pull requests to make this release possible. A special thanks to Jeremy Appel for contributing a rather large pull request to bring the Spring Social Twitter API binding in line with version 1.1 of Twitter's API.

These milestone releases mark the first step toward Spring Social 1.1.0. We plan to increase momentum on these milestone releases up to the 1.1.0 GA release, so expect another milestone release in the next few weeks. If you'd like to follow along or contribute, we encourage you to participate in the Spring Social Forum, report bugs or suggest enhancements, or to fork the code and contribute back via pull requests.

We are pleased to announce that Spring Integration 2.2.0.RC3 is now available in the milestones repository.

Release notes can be found here.

Links to downloads and the documentation can be found on the project home page.

It is anticipated that this will be the final release candidate, with the GA release being available shortly.

Many thanks to the community members who have tried out the earlier milestones and provided valuable feedback.

I am pleased to announce the availablity of the first milestone of a Spring Data Solr project. It's the first community-driven Spring Data module lead by Christoph Strobl. It's essentially an implementation of the Spring Data repository API to access Solr stores and provides the same programming model you are already used to from Spring Data JPA, MongoDB, Neo4j and Gemfire. Beyond that Spring Data Solr provides a lower level SolrTemplate as well as abstractions to easily bootstrap an embedded Solr server.

We looking forward to community-driven Spring Data module implementations for other stores. Please get in touch with us through the forums in case you'd like to see a particular store supported and can commit to actively maintaining the project.
