The releases will be also included in the upcoming releases of Spring Boot 2.7.14, 3.0.9, 3.1.2 and 3.2 M1.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of A Bootiful Podcast! In this installment, Josh Long talk to Spring team legend Stéphane Nicoll (@snicoll) about Spring Boot, Apache Maven and Gradle, his journey to the Spring team, and so much more. This episode was recorded live from beautiful Barcelona, Spain, from the epic Spring I/O event in May of 2023!

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Spring Web Flow 3.0.0. This release is all about compatibility with Spring Framework 6 and Jakarta EE. The spring-webflow-sampes have been updated, and the commit history provides an example of changes necessary to upgrade. One significant change is the need to remove Tiles which has not migrated to Jakarta EE. The booking-mvc sample now uses Thymeleaf Layouts instead.

Once again special thanks to Ian Young, Scott Cantor, and Gábor Lipták for your help to make these updates available to the community!

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring Framework 5.2.25.RELEASE, 5.3.29 and 6.0.11 are available now.

Spring Framework 5.2.25.RELEASE ships with 2 fixes improvements. This is an out-of-cycle release that will not be shipped with a new Spring Boot version, as Spring Boot 2.3.x is EOL.

Spring Framework 5.3.29 ships with 22 fixes and documentation improvements, including 3 fixes for regressions. This version will be shipped with Spring Boot 2.7.14, to be released next week.

Spring Framework 6.0.11 ships with 71 fixes and documentation improvements, including 7 fixes for regressions. This version will be shipped with Spring Boot 3.0.9 and 3.1.2, to be released next week…

On behalf of the Spring Framework framework team, it is my pleasure to announce that the second Spring Framework 6.1 milestone release is available from repo.spring.io/milestone now. This new version builds on the main 6.1 themes introduced in the first milestone and adds new ones: @Scheduled improvements and the introduction of RestClient.

Main themes status update

The Data Binding and validation worked has made progress and we have now completed the "Built-in Web Support for Method Bean Validation" umbrella issue and documented the feature accordingly.

Thanks to the Virtual Threads theme, blocking execution of WebFlux Controllers can now be scheduled on a VirtualThreadTaskExecutor…

Spring Framework 6.1 M2 introduces the RestClient, a new synchronous HTTP client. As the name suggests, RestClient offers the fluent API of WebClient with the infrastructure of RestTemplate.

Fourteen years ago, when RestTemplate was introduced in Spring Framework 3.0, we quickly discovered that exposing every capability of HTTP in a template-like class resulted in too many overloaded methods. In Spring Framework 5, we therefore used a fluent API for the reactive WebClient. With RestClient we are introducing a HTTP client that offers an API similar to WebClient, and that uses the message converters, request factories, interceptors, and other underlying components of RestTemplate…
