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.

The first milestone release toward Spring Security 3.2 is now available from the SpringSource repository at http://repo.springsource.org. See here for a quick tutorial on resolving these artifacts via Maven.

The highlights of this release include:

• Concurency Support
• Servlet 3, Async Support
• Spring MVC Async Integration
• Servlet 3 API Integration
• New Servlet API Sample Application

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…

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.
