Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 5.0.2 and 4.3.13 are available now, as a pair of refinement releases which are recommended as immediate upgrades for all Spring users. They will also be part of the upcoming Spring Boot 2.0 M7 and 1.5.9 releases, respectively.

5.0.2 comes with significant tightening-up across the framework, including performance improvements and fine-tuned configuration variants. Many of those changes have been backported to 4.3.13 for streamlined consumption in existing applications.

Please note: Our Castor XML support is marked as deprecated now due to the inactivity of the Castor project. On a related note, we are effectively deprecating JDK 6 support in the 4.3.x line, ending our first-class efforts for it; more on this in a separate blog post…

For your convenience the service releases are going to be picked up in the upcoming Spring Boot 1.5.9 release, and Kay SR2 will be part of Spring Boot 2.0 M7. You can find the complete list of issues fixed here for Ingalls SR9 and here for Kay SR2.
