Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I'm in Antwerp, Belgium, for the amazing Devoxx Belgium 2024 event! I am so happy to be back here, one of the best shows in the Java ecosystem!

We've got a lot to get into so let's dive right in!

• From Spring Cloud Data Flow 2.11.x to 3.0
• Supercharging your AI Applications with Spring AI Advisors
• mvn clean install or mvn verify
• the new informational JEP: 14
• authoring webcomponents in a Spring Boot Thymeleaf project
• "...After evaluating various options, we have decided to tentatively migrate Spring Framework 7 to JSpecify annotations and deprecate Spring null-safety annotations" - woohoo!
• Did we mention that JTE is on the Spring Initializr?
• What is this blasphemy? Who would want to change the Spring Boot banner? - this article is an example of what never to do!
