Dear Spring Community,

I'm pleased to announce the first milestone release of Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0. The primary focus of this release was to update the API binding to target version 2.0 of Facebook's Graph API.

Note that due to breaking changes in Facebook's Graph API, there were necessarily some breaking changes in this version of Spring Social Facebook. Fortunately, however, Facebook has promised a two-year stability guarantee for all versions of their API, so such breaking changes should be able to be handled more gracefully going forward.

Facebook is requiring all applications…

We're pleased to announce the release of Spring IO Platform 1.0.0 RELEASE, and represents some amazing engineering work. The highlights of this release are:

• A Bill-of-Materials release (a Maven BOM dependency) that level sets the versions for you.
• Spring IO represents curated and harmonized dependencies that just work together - tests cover all the Spring projects and lots of popular 3rd party open source
• One platform, many workloads - build web (HTML-, websocket-, and REST-powered web apps), mobile, integration, batch, reactive or big data applications, or just great APIs
• Radically simplified development experience with Spring Boot
• Production-ready features provided out of the box (monitoring, metrics, etc)
• …

The second maintenance release for Spring Boot 1.1 has been released and is available now from repo.spring.io and maven central.

(Windows users may want to use the Spring Boot 1.1.3.RELEASE as it fixes some Windows specific issues.)
