Dear Spring Community,

Last month, Spring Session lead Rob Winch announced the release of Spring Session 2.0.0.M1 (notice the lack of MongoDB there?) In that post, he pared back Spring Session to officially supporting Redis, JDBC, and Hazelcast. No more MongoDB.

I’m here to announce that I’ve pick up the torch for Spring Session MongoDB. Managing both Spring Session and Spring Security (among other responsibilities), Rob couldn’t maintain high caliber support with too many data stores. Being a member of the Spring Data team, I felt better suited toward providing MongoDB support of Spring Session, so I reinstated it as a separate project…

On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Security 5.0.0 M2. This release includes bug fixes, new features, and is based off of Spring Framework 5.0.0 RC2.

A complete example of using Spring Security to secure a Spring WebFlux application can be found in the Spring Security samples at hellowebflux and hellowebfluxfn.

The highlights of the release include:

• Simplified Reactive Security Configuration

• WebTestClient Support

Simplified Reactive Security Configuration

It is now very easy to setup a minimal Reactive Security Configuration. Add @EnableWebFluxSecurity and provide a …

On behalf of the community I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Session 2.0.0.M2. This release is focused primarily on ensuring compatibility with Spring Framework 5.0.0.RC2 and Spring Data Kay-M4 which is the minimum Spring version required.

We expect that Spring Session 2.0.0.M3 will have a new Java 8 friendly API along with Support for Spring WebFlux.

Supported Data Stores

As an update to our new story for supported repositories, we now have sub projects for Spring Session Geode (GemFire) and Spring Session MongoDB. You can find the Spring Session MongoDB release announcement here.

Shortly after Spring Framework 5.0 RC2, a second milestone of Spring Boot 2 is now available from our milestone repository. This release closes over 90 issues and pull requests, thanks to all that contributed!

For a complete list of changes, and upgrade instructions, see the Spring Boot 2.0.0.M2 Release Notes on the WIKI and the updated reference documentation.

Dear Spring community,

It is my pleasure to announce that our second Spring Framework 5.0 release candidate is available now. This is a major revision of RC1, with refactorings in our new reactive facilities and in our new path pattern parser, as well as code style refinements all over the framework.

This release introduces a formal non-null API declaration for all of our packages, with explicitly nullable arguments and return values annotated as such now (instead of just javadoc'ed). Our nullability annotations are compliant with JSR 305 and specifically supported by IntelliJ IDEA and…

Hi Spring fans! This week I'm in Redmond, hanging out with our friends and Pivotal partner Microsoft talking about Cloud Foundry on Microsoft Azure. As you may know, Microsoft's Azure IaaS platform is the #2 most widely used cloud and it's growing! It's got more datacenters than the other two cloud vendors in more regions (including in Germany and China!) and a huge raft of services that support both Windows and Linux operating systems. There's so much exciting stuff coming up including Azure Stack, which runs Azure on-premise, and the amazing integration between Azure and PCF. I'm looking…
