On behalf of the Spring Data engineering team and everyone who contributed to this release, I am delighted to announce the general availability of Spring Data 2024.0 from Maven Central! This release comes with major driver upgrades and refinements in individual store modules.

A major enhancement is support for Value Expressions in mapping and @Value (constructor) annotations. Value Expressions support obtaining values from Configuration Properties in addition to SpEL expressions.

Spring Data MongoDB 2024.0 has upgraded its MongoDB driver dependency compatibility to MongoDB driver 5. You can still downgrade to an older 4.x (such as 4.11) driver if you wish.

Another noteworthy change is declarative support for MongoDB transaction options by leveraging transaction labels such as @Transactional(label = { "mongo:readConcern=majority" })

To find out more about what’s new, see the release notes and the individual module reference documentation.

This release will be included in the upcoming Spring Boot 3.3 GA release. We'd like to hear from you, so keep the feedback coming.
