It is my pleasure to announce that the Spring Framework 4.2.6 and 3.2.17 maintenance releases are available now. We also released the second release candidate of the 4.3 line.

4.3 RC2 contains many refinements and fixes, especially in the web framework area. We are about to finalize 4.3 with a scheduled GA in early June. Preparations towards merging 5.0 features into master will happen right afterwards, with a first 5.0 milestone expected in July.

As we've just shipped the GA release of Spring Data release train Hopper, let's take a deeper look at the changes and features that come with the 13 modules on the train. A very fundamental change in the release train's dependencies is the upgrade to Spring Framework 4.2 (currently 4.2.5) as baseline. This is in preparation for the upcoming 4.3 release of the framework. We also took the chance to upgrade our Querydsl integration to 4.x (currently 4.1) which required some breaking changes in very core abstractions. Besides that, Hopper contains quite a few significant major version changes its…

I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Data Geode 1.0.0.APACHE-GEODE-INCUBATING-M2, offering support for the recently announced Apache Geode 1.0.0-incubating.M2 release.

Spring Data Geode is a specific version of Spring Data GemFire with support for Apache Geode rather than Pivotal GemFire.

Both Spring Data GemFire and Spring Data Geode are based on the same source repository in GitHub, however, Apache Geode support lives in the apache-geode branch. Therefore, you won't find a separate Spring Data project specifically for Apache Geode, but this is of little consequence since your existing knowledge of Pivotal GemFire combined with Spring Data GemFire will be immediately useful and transferable to Apache Geode and Spring Data Geode…

On behalf of the Spring Cloud Data Flow team, I am pleased to announce the 1.0.0.M2 release of Spring Cloud Data Flow for Cloud Foundry.

Spring Cloud Data Flow for Cloud Foundry allows one to use all the goodness of Spring Cloud Data Flow (like the Shell, UI and Flo) while targeting Cloud Foundry as a backend. Stream components are deployed as individual apps in Cloud Foundry, leveraging the power of the platform to handle scaling and health monitoring.

This second milestone

• builds upon the 1.0.0.M1 release of Cloud Foundry implementation of spring-cloud-deployer
• builds upon the 1.0.0.M3 release of Spring Cloud Data Flow
• builds upon the 2.0.0.M4 release of the Cloud Foundry java client, leveraging its reactive programming style

We are pleased to announce the release of Spring Cloud Task 1.0.0.M2. This is the second milestone of the Spring Cloud Task project with some exciting new features!

What's New?

With the M1 release of Spring Cloud Task, we introduced the concept of a task, the @EnableTask annotation, and the general concept of a microservice that has an end. We've been quite busy since then. Some of the highlights of what is new include:

• Spring Cloud Task Listeners
• Integration with Spring Cloud Stream
• Integration with Spring Batch
• More samples

Let's take a look at what each of these include.
