We’re pleased to announce a release of Spring Statemachine 1.1.0. I'd like to start by saying thank you for all who contributed in any way to make this happen. Artifacts are available either from Maven Central or from Spring Repository.

What we got into this release(compared to 1.0.x):

• Comprehensive support for Spring Security.
• Context integration with `@WithStateMachine' has been greatly enhanced.
• StateContext is now a first class citizen with how user can interact with a State Machine.
• Features around persistence has been enhanced with a build-in support for redis.
• New feature helping with persist operations.
• Configuration model classes are now a public API.
• New features in timer based events.
• New Junction pseudostate.
• New Exit Point and Entry Point pseudostates.
• Configuration model verifier.
• New samples.
• UI modeling support using Eclipse Papyrus.

Full changes as usual is available from changelog.

While native way of configuring a state machine is always done via configurer and builder interfaces, this design task may become difficult to understand if you're unable to see a "big picture". Below state chart is from new sample which demonstrated more complex scenarios what a state machine can do. Based on Papyrus uml designer, it is relatively easy to understand what a machine does when you're able to see it as an proper state chart. Its usage is optional but allows user to import uml model into a machine configuration.

Thank you for all who have contributed in any way either via Stack Overflow, GitHub Issues or other channels. Driving force for changes really has been a community and requests from it.
