Dear Spring community,

It is my pleasure to announce that, after more than a year of milestones and RCs and almost two years of development overall, Spring Framework 5.0 is finally generally available as 5.0.0.RELEASE from repo.spring.io and Maven Central!

This brand-new generation of the framework is ready for 2018 and beyond: with support for JDK 9 and the Java EE 8 API level (e.g. Servlet 4.0), as well as comprehensive integration with Reactor 3.1, JUnit 5, and the Kotlin language. On top of that all, Spring Framework 5 comes with many functional API variants and introduces a dedicated…

It is my great pleasure to announce the GA release of Reactor Bismuth, which notably encompasses reactor-core 3.1.0.RELEASE and reactor-netty 0.7.0.RELEASE ?

With the release of Spring Framework 5.0 now just happening, you can imagine this is a giant step for Project Reactor :)

Like the bismuth crystal this release is intricate

 
The release contains a lot of changes and API polishing. For reactor-core you can find the exhaustive list in the release notes.

Important

There is a known (minor) issue with the reactor-core and reactor-test sources jars: They contain duplicate java source entries. See issue #887 for…

It's that time of year again! It's an exciting time for Java developers with Java 9 freshly out the door, with the promise of a faster release cadence for the language itself in the air.
If you're coming to the event, come check out talks with Pivotal / Spring Team speakers, and visit us at the booth for hands on lab stations for Reactive Spring, Microservices and Cloud Foundry!

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at building a Kotlin-language reactive websocket-based application with the new web runtime and framework, Spring WebFlux, in Spring Framework 5. In order to keep things interesting, we also connect our websocket-backend to a frontend written using an Angular 4 and TypeScript.

I am pleased to announce that the 2.0.0.RC2 release candidate of Spring AMQP is now available in the Spring milestone repository.

Since the first release candidate the primary changes are:

• update to the new 5.0 version of the amqp-client library

• increase the default prefetch count in listener containers

A complete list of changes since RC1 can be found in the release notes.

Thanks to all the community members for their feedback and contributions!

The GA release will follow shortly after the Spring Framework 5.0 GA release.

For a complete list of changes in 2.0, see What’s New in the reference manual…

Hi Spring fans! What a crazy wonderful week it's been! I'm back in San Francisco talking to customers and local partners about all things Pivotal and, also, just enjoying some fun in the San Francisco Sun while playing with Java 9 . There's so much to like in this new release and so much to look forward to and, of course, Spring Framework 5 is Java 9 ready out of the box.

• Spring IO Platform lead Andy Wilkinson just announced Spring IO Platform Brussels SR5.

• Spring Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert just posted on how to overcome some issues when running STS on macOS High Sierra 10.13.
• Spring Cloud Task lead Michael Minella just announced Spring Cloud Task 1.2.2.RELEASE…

We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 1.2.2.RELEASE is now available via Maven Central, Github and the Pivotal download repository. This release adds support for Spring Framework's recent added support for db engines other than MYISAM for the sequence tables when using MySql. A special thanks to Thomas Risberg for the contributions around this issue.

We look forward to your feedback in Github, StackOverflow, to me directly via Twitter @michaelminella or at SpringOnePlatform in December!

The new version of macOS called High Sierra (10.13) will soon go GA and we expect many of our STS/Eclipse users and Spring developers will upgrade their machines sooner than later. In case you have your system running with an English locale, you are fine and everything will be good.

If you are running your system with a different language configured, you will see all menu items of Eclipse or STS being disabled after the upgrade to macOS High Sierra.

The good news is: you can quickly get this fixed without waiting for an update of Eclipse or STS. Go into the Eclipse.app or STS.app package, move…

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I've been visiting the Spring and Cloud Foundry teams at Microsoft (this time, in Redmond, WA) and then it's off to San Francisco, CA and San Antonio, TX to visit some customers. So, with that, let's get to it!

• I loved this Pivotal Engineering post on how we transitioned Pivotal Web Services, our hosted, multitenant installation of Cloud Foundry, to CredHub. CredHub is designed to store passwords, keys, certificates, and other sensitive information for a BOSH-managed environment.
• Spring Boot ninja Brian Clozel just announced Spring Boot 1.5.7 which includes scores of fixes, dependency updates, and improvements.
• Spring Integration lead and messaging ninja Gary Russell just announced Spring AMQP 2.0 RC1…
