Engineering | Josh Long | September 17, 2019 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring - and what a week it is! I'm at the epic annual eventapalooza that is Oracle CodeOne (formerly JavaOne). I just finished a talk today on reactive programming and I'll have another talk on Kotlin on Wednesday. Don't miss it!

Goodbye http://repo.spring (use https)

Engineering | Rob Winch | September 16, 2019 | ...

In response to our nohttp announcement, Maven Central’s announcement, and JFrog’s announcement, beginning January 15 2020, Spring’s Maven Repository will no longer support HTTP.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another sunny installment of This Week in Spring! Can you believe we're now staring down Q4 2019? How time flies!

As i write this I'm sat in a Radisson Blu hotel in Oslo, Norway, for the epic JavaZone show. I've got tons of wonderful memories at this hotel, often enjoyed with my friends on the Spring team, over many, many years. I love this show and am so glad to be back for the first time since 2015!
