All good things must come to an end, and for the 1.x line of Spring Boot that means we will need to cease maintenance twelve months from today, on Aug 1st 2019.

We will keep publishing occasional 1.5.x maintenance releases up until that point and will then end the branch.

Existing Spring Boot 1.x users should plan accordingly to ensure that they have upgraded to the latest 2.x version before that date. Please also note that Spring Boot 2.0 and above requires Java 8+, so if you're running Java 6 or 7 you should also plan on upgrading your JDK.

For detailed instructions on what you'll need to do to upgrade a Spring Boot 1.5 application to 2.0, check out the migration guide…

Beyond that, initial refinements for GraalVM…

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in San Francisco in studio with Spring Security lead Rob Winch filming our new Spring Security Livelessons video. There is so much to cover that, as you can imagine, it's a tall order even for the two of us!

I'm also busily preparing for my talk with my buddy and Googler Ray Tsang at this week's Google Cloud NEXT event on all things Pivotal and Google Cloud. We're going to look at the bootiful Spring Cloud GCP project and, importantly, the new project jointly announced between Google and Pivotal just this morning, KNative, which serves as the platform on which we at Pivotal have built and deployed our Project Riff serverless function-as-a-service runtime. Do not…
