Hi, Spring fans! How're things? Good? Good. I just finished (virtually) presenting for the always-lovely London Java Community this morning. We spoke about Kotlin and Spring and things. It was good. Thank you so much for having me LJC! I also kicked off the epic JetBrains Java Day Online event last Friday. That was a ton of fun! Thank you Jetbrains. I finally, finally, put some elbow grease into automating a listing of some my activity and so now whenever I publish a new Spring Tips video, a new A Bootiful Podcast podcast, or commit to a new public appearance, I'll have information here on my…

We are happy to announce the release of Spring Cloud Stream applications 2020.0.0-M2. This release is a complete overhaul of the legacy Spring Cloud Stream App Starters. Starting with this release, we are moving away from theme-oriented release train names (famous scientists in alphabetical order) to calendar based versioning. The current GA release is called Einstein, and we are pleased to introduce 2020.0.0-M2. We are also moving away from the app starters. Having reorganized, repackaged, and (in some cases) rewritten the underlying code, we now have a new Git repository: spring-cloud/stream…

Earlier this month, we released a first milestone of Reactor 2020.0. This cycle, codename Europium, follows the Dysprosium one (which included reactor-core 3.3.x and reactor-netty 0.9.x).

It includes reactor-core 3.4.0 and reactor-netty 1.0.0.

In this blog post, we'll cover a few highlights of the reactor-core milestone, and briefly mention what's in store for M2.

For reactor-netty, we'll link to a separate blog post here as soon as it is out.

Note also that there is a new versioning scheme in place, which has been adopted accross the Spring portfolio: see the reference guide and this blog post…
