We are pleased to announce the 4.0.0.RELEASE version of Spring Integration is now available.

The artifacts are available in the Spring repository (repo.spring.io/release) and Maven Central now.

The new features have been covered in some depth in the Milestone 4 and Release Candidate announcements (including Spring Boot examples) but, to summarize:

• Requires Spring Framework 4.0.3 or above
• Greatly expanded annotation support for configuring integration flows, laying the groundwork for the Java DSL which is in progress in the extensions repo
• New endpoints, and more...

For changes since the release candidate, see the GA release notes.

We will be presenting a Webinar highlighting some of the features in this important new release next month.
