This is the first maintenance release of Spring Integration 4.0; it contains a small number of fixes and improvements, and brings the dependencies for other Spring projects up to their latest versions.
See the release notes for details of the contents.
See the Project Home Page for documentation, downloads etc.
Today we are pleased to announce the release of Grails 2.4. This is the final release in the 2.x line of releases and includes a number of significant updates.
Most importantly Grails 2.4.x ships with key pieces of the Spring IO platform, including Groovy 2.3 and Spring 4.0.5.
In addition to the inclusion of the latest versions of Spring and Groovy there are a number of key new features in this release, including:
Dear Spring community,
It's my pleasure to announce that Spring Framework 4.0.5 and 3.2.9 have been released. Both of those are designed as a final feature release in the respective line - we will only consider further releases from the 4.0.x and 3.2.x branches in case of serious bugs now.
http://projects.spring.io/spring-framework/
Spring Framework 3.2.9 comes with a repackaged ASM 5.0.2 and is therefore capable of basic Java 8 bytecode processing. However, specific Java 8 feature support - JSR-310 date-time, repeatable annotations, etc - is exclusive to the Spring Framework 4.x line.
Hot on the heels of the Spring 3.2.9 and 4.0.5 releases, I am pleased to announce the availability of the GA release of the Spring Data release train named Dijkstra.
We're happy to welcome 5 new modules to the release train: Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Couchbase, Gemfire and Redis. Two of them even celebrate their first GA version ever. So I'd like to send special congratulations and thanks to the project leads Mohsin Husen for Spring Data Elasticsearch and David Webb as well as Matthew Adams for Spring Data Cassandra.
Here's the full list of participating modules:
The first milestone release for Spring Boot 1.1.0 is available now in the Spring milestone repository.
Highlights include:
See the release notes for a complete list of new and noteworthy features.
We'd appreciate any feedback from existing Spring Boot 1.0 users. If you are upgrading, be sure to follow the instructions from the release notes…
Today we are pleased to announce the release candidate for Spring Batch 3.0. This release of Spring Batch provides the support for JSR-352 we are committed to providing as well as a number of new features for our existing Spring Batch community.
The major features for this release include:
JSR-352 is the batch JSR and was released as 1.0 late last year. As Spring Batch served as the inspiration for much of the programming model of this JSR, Spring is committed to supporting it. With the 3.0 release, Spring Batch is compliant with JSR-352 passing all TCK tests. It provides the most production-tested implementation of the JSR.
Creating batch jobs that comply with the standards of this JSR should feel very familiar to users of Spring Batch. The XML configuration and interfaces are very similar to the existing Spring Batch. Below is an example JSR-352 batch job
```xmlSpring Batch's implementation of JSR-352 was developed to allow the most flexibility for existing Spring Batch users. We allow developers to use existing ItemReader, ItemProcessor, ItemWriters, etc in conjunction with the configuration facilities that JSR-352 provides. This provides developers a complete library of production-tested components for building robust batch jobs.
To read more about Spring Batch's implementation of JSR-352, visit our reference documentation here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/trunk/reference/html/jsr-352.html
The line between when to use Spring Batch or Spring Integration is often a blurry one. There are many use cases where one works better than the other. However, there are also many use cases where they can be used together to build robust and scalable data processing systems. Spring Batch Integration provides a collection of components to use Spring Batch and Spring Integration together. Use cases that Spring Batch Integration provide for include:
These capabilities take batch processing beyond what JSR-352 provides and allows users to develop batch applications that scale beyond a single JVM. You can read more about Spring Batch Integration and it's components in the reference documentation here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/trunk/reference/html/springBatchIntegration.html.
We took this opportunity to review all third party dependencies for Spring Batch and bring them up to date. As part of this exercise, we also brought them in alignment with the other projects in the Spring portfolio to allow for the easiest experience in adding Spring Batch to an existing application (or adding other projects to a Spring Batch project).
While HSQLDB is useful for many testing scenarios, a file based system like SQLite can also be very useful. With the 3.0 release we have added the job repository DDL for SQLite to address these use cases.
Spring Batch's step scope allows developers to delay the creation of objects until a particular step is executed. This functionality has also exposed the ability to provide late binding of properties in batch artifacts. With this 3.0 release, Spring Batch introduces a Job scope. This scope works in the same way as the step scope (delays the creation of objects via proxies), however it delays the creation until the job executes instead of the step. This can be helpful when defining multiple jobs in a context or when heavy weight initialization processes occur in step level components. You can read more about the job scope in the reference manual here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/trunk/reference/html/configureStep.html#job-scope.
Finally, this release is the first for Spring Batch to move from Maven to Gradle for an internal build system. This change will have zero effect on developers consuming the jars. They will still be available via Maven Central for maven users.
3.0.0.RC1 represents the completion of the next major milestone for Spring Batch. It brings the standards that JSR-352 provides to our community as well as providing an exhaustive collection of additional features for the advanced user. We look forward to your feedback in the forums, social media, and in person at SpringOne2GX!
The Spring Integration development team is pleased to announce the release of the First Milestone of the Java DSL extension for Spring Integration!
The general purpose of the Java DSL is to provide a fluent and convenient API for Message Flows based on EIP and avoid boilerplate Spring Integration configuration.
The org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-java-dsl:1.0.0.M1 artifact is available from the
Spring IO Milestone Repository.
You can find in more information in the Reference Manual and from source code, however let us shed some light on the main features.
The Concept
The Spring Integration Java DSL is not similar to existing Scala and Groovy DSls; nor is it similar to the Apache Camel Java DSL, although it does implement the method-chain…
The Groovy development team is pleased to announce the release of Groovy 2.3.0!
Groovy 2.3 is the new major release of the Groovy programming language for the JVM, featuring:
The Reactor team is pleased to announce that some significant updates to the Reactor framework are now available in the 1.1.0.RELEASE version of Reactor's flexible, asynchronous, fast data framework. This version includes numerous bug fixes and rewrites of key components to make them faster and, maybe more importantly, more efficient in terms of memory usage. Reactor 1.1 now includes the fantastic gs-collections library from Goldman Sachs [1] which provides a very fluent API for dealing with maps and collections of all kinds.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of changes between Reactor 1.0 and 1.…
