We’re pleased to announce that Spring 1.2.3 has just been released.
This is a bugfix and minor enhancement release, fixing a number of
issues related to the application context startup sequence and
introducing various minor new features.



All Spring 1.2.2 users are encouraged to upgrade to Spring 1.2.3, in
particular if using factory methods and/or auto-proxy creation (as used
by the transaction annotation support). Full backwards compatibility
with Spring 1.2.1 should be restored in that area.

As always, for a full list of enhancements and fixes, please see the changelog.

Dear Spring Community,

I’m pleased to announce the release of
Spring Web Flow Preview 4 (PR4). This release aligns Spring Web Flow
for use with Spring 1.2.2+.

This will be the last Web Flow preview release; the next release will be 1.0 RC1. To download, access: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73357&package_id=148517

Note: there are some incompatible changes between PR3 and PR4. This includes a root package rename from org.springframework.web.flow to org.springframework.webflow,
noting Web Flow’s status as a standalone module deserving of a
top-level package.  For a complete list of changes, access the
change log here: http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/spring/display/WEBFLOW/Change+Log

We are pleased to announce that Spring IDE v1.2.1 has been released.

We’re pleased to announce that Spring 1.2.2 has just been released.
This is a bugfix and minor enhancement release. It also provides a
unified basis for the upcoming Spring WebFlow release candidate.



Besides refinements in the JTA transaction synchronization and
SQLException translation, this release introduces a variety of internal
refactorings and new helper classes. Furthermore, support for JDK 1.5’s
XML-based properties format has been added to all relevant Spring
classes.



We have also extended our reference documentation in various areas.
Most importantly, it covers JDO, TopLink, OJB, and JCA CCI now.



For complete details on changes and bug fixes, please see the change log.

We’re pleased to announce that Spring 1.2.1 has just been released.
This is a bugfix and refinement release, addressing a number of issues
found in 1.2 final.

Furthermore, the PetClinic sample has been updated to
serve as showcase for JMX export: the JDBC version exposes a cache
refresh operation and a call monitor via JMX now.

We’d like to
encourage all Spring 1.2 RC/final users to upgrade to Spring 1.2.1, in
particular if using the Hibernate3 integration.

For complete details on changes and bug fixes, please see the change log.
