This milestone refines a number of items from M4, and provides a number of notable new features:

Spring co-founder and Spring Framework lead Juergen Hoeller wins JAX Special Jury Award

Engineering | Josh Long | October 10, 2017 | ...

The JAX Innovation awards just took place. The Spring team has been a recipient of the award in a few cases over the years (and a nominee in even more cases), but this year was exceptional.

This year, the jury awarded Spring co-founder and lead engineer Juergen Hoeller (or Jürgen Höller, in his native (Austrian) German language) the Special Jury Award.

We don't normally talk about individuals on this blog, but few can be said to have done so much towards making Spring - and all that has come as a result of it - so successful as Juergen Hoeller has, and does.

The JAX Innovation Awards…

This Week in Spring - October 10th, 2017

Engineering | Josh Long | October 10, 2017 | ...

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! By happy coincidence, today is also Ada Lovelace day. According to the Finding Ada site: Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. Happy Ada Lovelace day!

I've just returned from the epic ByteMyCode conference in Wroclaw, Poland, and am now in Seattle, Washington to talk to customers and to [hold an open event today at Pivotal Seattle on Cloud Native Java. Later today I'm off to Toronto, Canada to visit customers and appear at the SpringOne Platform Preview show
