Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 2.5.1.

This release includes some bug fixes with the some of the notable changes as follows:

• DeploymentProperties parsing fixes.
• Removed behaviour for server to attempt to contact dockerhub during a start.
• Fixes to dataflow client to re-authorize when oauth client credentials are used.
• Liveness and readiness probe changes to kubernetes deployment files.
• Upgrades to Spring Boot 2.2.7 and Spring Cloud Hoxton.SR4. New dependencies from these fixed an issue in Spring Data Rest which caused repository mappings DATAREST-1502 to stop working and effectively caused UI and Skipper to start behaving erratically in Data Flow 2.5.0.
