Spring Web Flow 2.4.6 was released earlier today containing a security fix. Applications that use explicit data bindings through the <binder> element in flow definitions are not affected. Those that do rely on default bindings should upgrade as soon as possible.

We are pleased to announce that the release candidate Spring Cloud Stream Ditmars.RC1 is available for use in the Spring Milestone repository. The release notes include relevant information about version compatibility with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring AMQP, and Spring for Apache Kafka.

On behalf of the Spring Integration team I am pleased to announce that the Milestone 7 for the Spring Integration 5.0 version (5.0.0.M7) is now available.

It is available for download from the Milestone Repository:

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone' }
}
compile "org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-core:5.0.0.M7"

21 JIRAs (and some GitHub issues) made into this release, including bug fixes and a number of new features. Some highlights of features in the M7, since the previously announced Milestone 6:

• Reactive WebFlux Channel Adapters has been extracted to the separate spring-integration-webflux module to distinguish Servlet-based MVC configuration from the Reactive foundation.

• The EmbeddedJsonHeadersMessageMapper is introduced to allow embedding message headers together with the payload into packages for target protocols which doesn’t support headers natively, for example TCP/IP, MQTT, AWS Kinesis and Apache Kafka before version 0.11.x.

• The java.util.function.Supplier can now act as a MessageSource:

Dear Spring community,

It is my pleasure to announce that our fourth and last Spring Framework 5.0 release candidate is available now, aligned with Reactor 3.1 RC1 as well as yesterday's JUnit 5.0 GA, and serving as a foundation for the upcoming Spring Boot 2.0 M4!

Spring Framework 5.0 RC4 also comes with first-class support for the final version of the Servlet 4.0 API, provides fine-tuned integration with Hibernate Validator 6.0 and is up-to-date with Jackson 2.9.1 and Kotlin 1.1.4. Our dependency baseline is therefore almost complete, with just Reactor 3.1 GA and a few JDK 9 related updates…
