I’m pleased to announce on behalf of the community Spring Security OAuth2 Boot Auto-config 2.0.6 and 2.1.0.

Both releases primarily deliver bug fixes and dependency version updates along with some minor improvements. Of particular note is that these align with recent releases of Spring Boot.

Highlights

• Such "skipped" records can be published to a dead-letter topic (or otherwise disposed of by application code)

  • Headers are added with diagnostics about the failure
