The release is a recommended upgrade for all Dijkstra users as it contains a few important bug fixes. Codd users still on a service release are encouraged to upgrade as well. The next release coming is the first milestone of the upcoming release train Evans.

If you want to learn more about Spring Data, be sure to attend this year's SpringOne conference. The schedule contains a lot of data-related talks to introduce you to the latest features we're going to ship with Evans. Early bird tickets still available, so be quick to register.
