Hi Spring fans! In this installment we'll look at the new OAuth client support in Spring Security 5.

The following CVEs have been published today:

• CVE-2018-1258 for Spring Security 5.0.5.

• CVE-2018-1261 for Spring Integration “Zip” extension 1.0.1.

Please, review the information in the CVE reports and upgrade immediately.

Spring Boot Users: Spring Boot 2.0.2 and 1.5.13, released earlier today, contain the fixes for the above vulnerabilities.

The Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 1.5.0 RC1. Follow the Getting Started guides for Local Server, Cloud Foundry, and Kubernetes.

Here are the highlights:

General Improvements

• Switch to Hikari connection pool and restructure code to use fewer connections.

• Several bug fixes in underling deployer libraries.

Dashboard

• Editing a created/deployed stream is now possible from the Stream Builder. The application and deployment properties can be edited and re-deployed. The App version can be switched, too.

• A new paginator component is added to all the list page. Switching from a list of 20, 30, 50, or 100 items per page is possible. This further simplifies the bulk operation workflows.

• Introduction of end-to-end testing via Selenium and SauceLabs.
