Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! And, would you believe it, I'm writing this at SpringOne 2023, in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the first in-person SpringOne since 2019, and I'm so, so, so glad to be here!

We've got a ton of things to get into this week, let's dive right into it!

• This year we're celebrating twenty (20!) years since the early builds of Spring Framework 1.0, and ten (10!!) years since the early builds of Spring Boot 1.0. Did you see this amazing easter-egg, The History of Spring?? It's amazing!
• We announced a new project called Spring AI that provides a convenient abstraction to allow developers to work with Large Language Models like Azure OpenAI and regular OpenAI, and - hopefully - more in the future. I did a live stream with its founder, Dr. Mark Pollack, here, and we did a demo you can look at here
• Spring Authorization Server 1.1.2 available now
• …

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, it is my pleasure to announce the general availability of Spring Authorization Server 1.1.2.

See the 1.1.2 release notes for complete details.

To get started using Spring Authorization Server, see the Getting Started chapter of the reference documentation and the samples to become familiar with setup and configuration.

In Spring Security 5, we saw many developments in the OAuth2 story with the introduction of OAuth2 Resource Server and OAuth2 Client into the framework.

Today, it is quite convenient to develop applications that are secured by OAuth2 using the features available in OAuth2 Resource Server. Additionally, we can take advantage OAuth2 Client features to integrate with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0 providers, making it possible to authenticate users with OAuth2 Login and/or make protected requests to applications secured by OAuth2.

However, the OAuth2 landscape is very complex, and customization…

On behalf of the community and everyone who contributed, I'm proud to announce the release of Spring Modulith 1.0 GA. What started as an R&D side project over 5 years ago, became an experimental Spring project in 2022 is now available as a fully supported, top-level project to the Spring community.

Just as Spring has evolved over the last 20 years we always wanted Java developers to be able to build software that's evolvable over time. Back then, placing dependency injection at the heart of the component model was revolutionary and enabled developers to unit test their code easily. Spring's…
