Dear Spring community,

On behalf of the team and everyone who contributed, it is my pleasure to announce that Spring Framework 5.3 M1 is available from our milestone repository now! Find an initial list of new features and refinements and corresponding upgrade notes including several deprecations on our wiki.

Please note that 5.3 is designed as the final 5.x feature release, wrapping up the major themes in the Spring Framework 5 generation, in particular reactive programming and Kotlin support, while also taking GraalVM compatibility to the next level. Last but not least, we are not only…

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I’m happy to announce the first milestone of the 2020.0 (Code name "Ockham") release train, 2020.0.0-M1. This release ships with over 120 tickets fixed. This Spring Data release is the first release using calver as an update to the release train version scheme.

The most notable new features are:

• Support for RxJava 3
• Introduction of org.springframework.data:spring-data-bom, which replaces org.springframework.data:spring-data-releasetrain

You can find a curated changelog in our release train wiki or skim through a full list of changes in JIRA.

If you've been following my series on RSocket, you've already learned how to build client-server applications with Spring Boot. In today's exercise, you're going to learn how to add security to your RSocket applications.

The task of securing RSocket applications is greatly simplified when you use Spring Security. Spring Security is a must-have module for any production application. It allows you to easily plugin many different authentication providers and restricts each user's access to your application based on their identity and…

On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode and VMware GemFire communities, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & VMware GemFire (SBDG) 1.1.8.RELEASE and 1.2.8.RELEASE.

SBDG 1.1.8.RELEASE is based on Spring Boot 2.1.15.RELEASE and SBDG 1.2.8.RELEASE is based on Spring Boot 2.2.8.RELEASE. Bits for both releases are available in Maven Central.

As a friendly reminder, please refer to the Version Compatibility Matrix to see how SBDG aligns with Spring, Apache Geode and VMware GemFire versions.

SBDG 1.1.x is fixed on Spring Data Lovelace, which is in support until October 2020. However, given SBDG 1.1.x is based on Spring Data Lovelace, which is based on Apache Geode 1.6.0 and VMware GemFire 9.5.4, both of which have reached their EOL, the SBDG 1.1.x release line will effectively only pick up dependency updates until October when SD Lovelace reaches EOL. No new development is happening SBDG 1.1.x. You are therefore encouraged to upgrade to SBDG 1.2.8.RELEASE or 1.3.0.RELEASE…
