Dear Spring community,

On behalf of the team, it is my very great pleasure to announce that Spring Integration 6.0.0 is now generally available and can be found in Maven Central.

This release is the culmination of more than a year of work. A massive thank you to everyone that has contributed, and to all the early adopters that have been providing vital feedback on the milestones.

This version is fully based on Spring Framework 6.0, Spring Data 2022.0, Spring for GraphQL 1.1, Spring WebServices 4.0 and many other major releases of Spring portfolio projects which contribute to their respective integration modules. On the other hand Spring Integration 6.0 is a part of recently released Spring Boot 3.0.

Highlights of the new release include:

• A Java 17 baseline

• Support for native images with GraalVM and Spring AOT engine

• Observability instrumentation with Micrometer and Micrometer Tracing

• Support for Jakarta EE 10 with an EE 9 baseline

There’s far too many features to list them all here in detail, so head over to the What’s New documentation page and check out a Migration Guide on GitHub. If you just want to get started, you can easily bootstrap a new project on start.spring.io. If you’d like to try out the GraalVM support, start.spring.io can help with that too.

Cheers, 
Artem
