Spring Cloud Stream

• The test binder in Spring Cloud Stream moved to a separate artifact from the core Spring Cloud Stream module. Before this release, the test binder was part of the core module, and users used it using the test-binder classifier, which was inconvenient. With this release, the test binder is now moved and available through spring-cloud-stream-test-binder module. You can add it as a dependency in your application and get all the previous test binder components.

• Improved error handling docs in core Spring Cloud Stream

• Spring Cloud Stream Schema Registry AVRO-based converters are updated to AVRO 1.11.1

• Starting from this release, the AWS Kinesis binder is no longer part of the Spring Cloud Stream release train and will be released separately.

The following modules were updated as part of 2022.0.0-RC3:
