On behalf of the Reactor team, I have the pleasure of announcing a first shipment of Reactor goodness this week: Reactor Bismuth-SR10 is out ?

Stay tuned for a Reactor Californium milestone later this week ??‍♂️

Reactor Bismuth-SR10

The latest maintenance BOM of the 3.1.x line, Bismuth-SR10, is out. It includes two new artifacts (click on the version numbers to see the release notes on GitHub):

• reactor-core 3.1.8.RELEASE
• reactor-netty 0.7.8.RELEASE

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the availability of Spring Cloud Stream Ditmars.SR4 release train. This is a maintenance release and includes several bug fixes and minor enhancements in core Spring Cloud Stream (1.3.3.RELEASE), Kafka binder (1.3.3.RELEASE), and the Rabbit binder (1.3.4.RELEASE). Please take a look at the release notes for more details. The release can be found in maven central. Detailed descriptions can be found in the reference documentation.

We thank all our community members who contributed valuable additions to this release.

And, as always, we welcome feedback: either in GitHub, on Stack Overflow, on Gitter or on Twitter…
