Welcome back to the final installment of This Week in Spring for 2011. It's incredible to think that we've been doing this for a year already! Where has the time gone? Time flies when you're having fun, as they say...
The hope has always been that these roundups would make it easier for developers to take the pulse of the Spring community. Between the announcements and releases and content from SpringSource and VMware and the incredible deluge of content authored by the community, there is always something interesting happening, somewhere.
While there is a lot of interesting content this week, we'll defer the usual reviews until next week. This week, we're going to reflect on the year that was 2011 for the Spring community.

<lI> <B>Spring 3.1</B> Development of Spring 3.1 began in earnest in early 2010, and by SpringOne 2GX 2010 we already had an idea of what it was going to look like. By the beginning of this year, <a href ="http://www.springsource.org/node/3026">we already had milestones</a> to play with.
As the year progressed, we saw numerous new milestones, followed in short order by release candidates. The release candidates progressed and then, finally, a couple of weeks ago, we <a href = "http://www.springsource.org/node/3335">got Spring 3.1 GA</a>.
Among the many new, exciting…
We're happy to present you with the release of Spring Data Neo4j 2.0 as a small Christmas gift from our side. Spring Data Neo4j is based on Neo4j 1.6.M02.
The major feature of this release is the addition of a simple mapping mode (spring-data-neo4j). Just annotate your POJOs and use a GraphRepository for the usual CRUD and advanced query operations.
For graph-attached POJOs and high performance use-cases, you can employ the advanced mapping mode (spring-data-neo4j-aspects), which leverages AspectJ to enhance your domain class.
Both mapping modes use the same underlying code, which is now based on the Spring Data Commons mapping infrastructure.
We improved the Cypher graph query language support by supporting new Cypher features, adding queries derived from finder-methods to the repositories and extended the result handling conversions to include projections to mapping-interfaces, Pages and more.
Besides also adding preliminary geospatial support provided by the Neo4j-spatial project, we also support new, type-safe Cypher-DSL which can also be used in conjunction with Query-DSL.
The example project are now included with the main source tree so that they are always up-to-date. The cineasts tutorial app is also included in the examples in 3 versions (simple mapping, advanced mapping, REST).
Thanks to the recent public availability of the Neo4j Add-On on Heroku, we included a chapter on how to deploy a Spring Data Neo4j application into the Heroku cloud. Youll also find an accompanying example application called todos that is ready for deployment.
Special Thanks to James and Werner from Junisphere for all the code contributions and fixes.
In the last few weeks we got a lot more feedback on the Spring Forums, on JIRA and on the Neo4j Mailing list. We used your help to remove bugs, improve behaviour and documentation. Thanks a lot to everyone who reported issues and contributed insights.
To learn more about Spring Data Neo4j make sure to watch the introductory webinar by the project lead Michael Hunger and have a look at the extensive guide book. The detailed presentation from the Spring One conference is available on InfoQ.
And then please get your hands dirty and include Spring Data Neo4j in your holiday project which you could use to look at your domain with a fresh perspective.
Happy Holidays!
The Spring-Data and Neo4j Team

Dear Spring Community,
to go on with SpringSource Christmas presents I'd like to announce the availability of Spring Data Mongo 1.0 GA. The release marks the end of a long road to the first step of developing sophisticated data access using a MongoDB datastore. The overall feature set includes:
Part of that release is the release of Spring Data Commons 1.2 GA which contains most of the core functionality of the high-level functionality such as entity mapping and repository abstraction. Note that we will remove the Spring Data Document repository from GitHub as we moved it to the Spring Data…
Today we're happy to announce that the Spring Framework has moved to GitHub!
As you've probably noticed, nearly every other Spring project has already made the move, and those that haven't will soon.
Git helps us with many of the challenges of managing a large codebase like the Spring Framework, but what's most exciting is what GitHub means for the Spring community. Many readers will already know the virtues of watching and forking repositories, pull requests, forking and editing, and the many other features that GitHub adds to the already excellent world of Git. If you're new to this stuff, be sure to check out the great materials at help.github.com…

Well, it's that time of the year again!
The holiday season is upon us and many people will be celebrating! No matter what holiday you're celebrating (or if you're celebrating at all), let me wish you a wonderful week and the happiest of holidays.
To tide you over we've packed this week's roundup to the brim.
Enjoy!
Amidst the flurry of Spring releases this month, Spring Python has it's own.
Versions 1.1.1 and 1.2.1 are maintenance releases that patch some bugs. Version 1.3.0.RC1 is the first release of 1.3.0.
In this release we have commits from team members, and have also merged pull requests through github. If you want to make contributions to this project, don't forget to sign the contributor license agreement.
Thanks,
The Spring Python team

Now that everyone has had a chance to see the keynote presentations from SpringOne 2GX 2011 and that Grails 2.0 has been released we can share more conference sessions from the 2GX side of the show. This video presentation is by Peter Ledbrook, Developer Advocate for Grails, and he discusses running Grails in the Cloud. He compares the different cloud providers out there and looks at some of the best solutions for hosting your Grails applications.
