On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I’m pleased to announce that Spring Data release train 2024.1 has entered the release candidate phase with 2024.1.0-RC1 being available now.

This release completes our Value Expression support across modules allowing you to leverage property placeholders in @Query along with the existing SpEL support. Developers of Spring Data fragments now can leverage fragment registration through spring.factories and obtain invocation metadata.

Please see the release notes for more details and upgrade instructions.

Going forward, we aim for a GA release in mid November. The release is as usual picked by by Spring Boot.

Thanks to all those who have contributed with issue reports and pull requests.
