I am pleased to announce Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.0.8.RELEASE.

SSDG builds on Spring Session 2.0.9.RELEASE, Spring Data Kay-SR13 and Spring Framework 5.0.12.RELEASE along with Apache Geode 1.2.1 and Pivotal GemFire 9.1.1. Additionally, SSDG 2.0.8.RELEASE is compatible with Spring Boot 2.0.x based applications.

This release pulls in many enhancements from the 2.1.x release branch along with a few minor fixes. Highlights include:

1. Prevent saving non-dirty Sessions (Issue-12). This primarily protects against Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire bug GEODE-6032.

2. Standardize all logging on SLF4J (Issue-18).

3. Fixed bug involving incorrect synchronization lock on Session attributes passed down from the Session object on creation.

4. Fixed bug involving Data Serialization to properly identify when a user uses a custom DataSerializer to de/serialize the Session.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment we talk to Oleg Zhurakousky, lead of the Spring Cloud Stream project, an application integration and messaging wonk, and a prolific contributor to Spring Integration. Oleg also has the dubious honor of being one of my oldest friends on the Spring team - poor guy!

Hi Spring fans! Can you believe we're already staring down February?? I'm still shaking off the vacation feels from the holiday break. I'm at the airport, SFO, a few minutes after midnite in PST, waiting to board for my flight to Houston, a connection en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the epic SpringOne Tour event - the first of a brand new year! I look forward to seeing y'all there!

Anyway, we've got tons to get to so let's!

• Spring Tools 4.1.1 released - this new release is packed with tons of features, don't miss it!
• LISTEN: in this latest installment of my podcast, A Bootiful Podcast, I interview Spring Boot legend Madhura Bhave. Don't miss it!

In this installment of the pod we talk to Madhura Bhave, an engineer on the Spring Boot team who has improved the project in big ways - working on things like security, actuator, OAuth and more - since she moved from her epic run on the Cloud Foundry and UAA teams. We recorded this interview in August of 2018.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we look at how to use the reactive WebFlux client to make a number of concurrent requests to distinct service instances (discovered using a service registry like Netflix Eureka or Consul through the Spring Cloud DiscoveryClient abstraction) and meet SLAs by using the fastest request to return.
