Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.0-M3 is Available Now

Releases | Soby Chacko | July 21, 2025 | ...

On behalf of the team and everyone who contributed, we are pleased to announce that Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.0-M3 has been released.

We extend our gratitude to all contributors who made these releases possible.

4.0.0-M3 provides initial support for Kafka queues (Share consumers) introduced via KIP-932 in Apache Kafka 4.0.0. Keep in mind that in Apache Kafka 4.0.0, queue support is introduced as an early access feature, and as such, the support that Spring for Apache Kafka provides for this should be considered early access and experimental as well.

You can find more details about it in the reference documentation for Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.0-M3

Releases | Dave Syer | July 04, 2025 | ...

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring gRPC 0.9.0 has been released and is now available from Maven Central. We are still planning to have a 1.0.0 release around the same time as Spring Boot 4.0.0.

The main changes in this release are

  • StubFactory contract changes: the "supports" method is now a static method (it is called before an instance is created).
  • Removed GrpcClientFactoryCustomizer in favour of GrpcChannelBuilderCustomizer.
  • Added ability to filter interceptors in in-process gRPC clients.
  • Added ability to filter global interceptors and service definitions - easy to do for InProcessGrpcServer and possible to do for NettyGrpcServer by registering a customizer.
