On behalf of the Java CFEnv community I am happy to announce the release of Java CFEnv 1.1 GA.

This release add support for the following services:

• Volume Services

• Pivotal Single Sign-On Service

• Pivotal Redis Service

It also adds the following functionality:

• Checks the classpath to correctly determine setting of MySQL or MariaDB driver class name.

• When using the Spring Boot support, an exception is thrown if the Spring Cloud Connector library is on the classpath. This applies only for the following services: DataSource, RabbitMQ, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Redis. The exception message indicates to set the environment variable JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_AUTO_RECONFIGURATION '{enabled: false}'

• Support for Boot 1.5.x by copying a logging utility class into the project.

Introduction

On behalf of the community I am happy to announce the release of Java CFEnv 1.1 M1.

This release brings in contributions from several teams

• EMC Volume Service

• Pivotal Single Sign-On Service

• Pivotal Redis Service

Support for Volume Services is a new feature. Single Sign-On functionality has been improved to set Spring Security auto-configuration properties for Spring Security 5’s OAuth support. The Redis support has been improved to support auto-configuration of TLS.

The project README has more information.

A release candidate is going out next week, followed quickly by a GA release. Please try it out and give feedback on our github issues…

The Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 2.1 of Data Flow.

We have a brand new website with great new content, which is where you can find our getting started guide for use on Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes and your Local Machine.

Here are the highlights:

New Dedicated Data Flow Website

The Data Flow team takes pride is openly communicating with the community in various forums including StackOverflow, Gitter, GitHub, Twitter, and at times in Email and Zoom calls even.

However, we realized that we could provide a much better experience to answer common questions and provide an easier on-ramp to using Data Flow if we focused on improving the online documentation. The reference guide was not the ideal format to achieve that goal, so we embarked on creating a new website - https://dataflow.spring.io…

The Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 2.0 of Data Flow. Follow the Getting Started guides for running on Local, Cloud Foundry, and Kubernetes.

Hand in hand is the 2.0 release of Spring Cloud Skipper. The getting started section in the reference guide is the best place to start if you want to use Skipper separately from Data Flow.

Here are the highlights for Data Flow

• Stream deployment always delegates to Skipper

• Single server that runs on all supported platforms

• Launch tasks against multiple platforms

• UI improvements

• Standardize on OAuth2 and OpenID Connect for Security

• Revamped metrics and monitoring of deployed applications

• Updated analytics using micrometer

• Database migration support

• Update to Boot 2.1

• Update internals to use JPA

• Task/Job Execution and Performance improvements

The java-cfenv library is a new library for accessing Cloud Foundry Services. For Spring Boot users, it extracts service credentials from the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable and sets well known Spring Boot auto-configuration properties.

You can find more about it in the 1.0 M1 release blog as well as the README.

In this release the following Cloud Foundry Services are supported

• Databases - DB2, MySQL, Oracle, Postgresql, SqlServer

• RabbitMQ

• Cassandra

• MongoDB

• Redis

• Pivotal Single Sign On

Of note, there is a new interface, CfEnvProcessor that simplifies what you need to write in order to provide integration with other Cloud Foundry services. The docs on supporting other services…

Introduction

The Spring Cloud Connectors library has been with us since the launch event of Cloud Foundry itself back in 2011. One of the main goals of the connector library and Cloud Foundry’s Java buildpack was to “reduce the initial investment when you want to get started with Cloud Foundry”. The connector library creates the Spring bean definitions required to connect to backing services, like databases, using information contained in the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable. The buildpack then replaces these bean definitions you had in your application with those created by the connector…

The Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 1.7.4 of Data Flow for Local and Cloud Foundry. The Kubernetes release is at version 1.7.3.

Follow the Getting Started guides for running on Local, Cloud Foundry, and Kubernetes.

Various bugs since the 1.7 GA release have been fixed. You can see the issues for 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, and 1.7.4 for more details.

We have also released 1.1.4 release of Spring Cloud Skipper. The getting started section in the reference guide is the best place to start if you want to use Skipper separately from Data Flow.
