Welcome to another installation of This Week in Spring! This week I left Tokyo, Japan, and have been in Shanghai, China, speaking to a few large-scale startups - including Ele.me, the largest food delivery service and application in a very crowded Chinese market with more than 2 million orders every day - about building cloud-native applications using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and Cloud Foundry! Tomorrow, it's off to Oslo, Norway, for the amazing JavaZone conference. I love this conference and have, in the last two years, been unable to attend because it was concurrent with SpringOne2GX…

Over 300 issues fixed across 12 projects makes it pretty hard to keep track on what has happened since the last release. So here's a more detailed excerpt of some of the new features we've been cooking during the last iteration.

Ad-hoc JPA fetch graphs.

Since the Dijkstra release train we have been able to refer to the named entity graph declared on the entity through the @EntityGraph annotation in JPA-backed repositories. In the example below this forces firstname and lastname to be loaded eagerly, while all others remain lazily loaded.

A minor maintenance release of Spring Web Flow is now available for use. The release addresses compatibility issues against Spring Security 4.0 and the Mojarra and Apache MyFaces JSF implementations. For a list of the addressed issues see the release notes JIRA report.

We’re pleased to announce a first release candicate of Spring Statemachine 1.0.0.RC1.

Focus of this release is to get core framework more stable and finally add jepsen tests for a distributed state machine. We also added a first version of a testing support. Resolved github tickets can be found from RC1 issues. We're relatively close to issue a release version, meaning if nothing major pop-up, next release will be a 1.0.0.RELEASE. If something urgent turns up we will do 1.0.0.RC2 prior to a release.

Now that we're here, let's crack it and see what new features we have in this release.
