On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the general availability of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2.2.

Local Server: Quick Start, Getting Started Guide

Due to the popular demand from the community, the primary goal of this maintenance release is to bring Spring Boot 1.5.4 compatibility in Spring Cloud Data Flow.

• Since it includes refactoring efforts to adapt to a bug fix introduced in a Spring Data maintenance release that is pulled in by Spring Boot, this is not a simple version upgrade.
• As reported by the community, a side effect of this update surfaced pagination problems in the clients. It has been reworked both in the client and server-side.

On behalf of the Spring Integration team I am pleased to announce that the fifth milestone for the Spring Integration 5.0 release (5.0.0.M5) is now available.

21 JIRAs (and some GitHub issues) made into this release, including bug fixes and a number of new features. Some highlights of features in M4 and M5, since the previously announced Milestone 3:

• The Splitter now can deal with the Java Stream and Reactor Flux payloads. If the output channel is a ReactiveStreamsSubscribableChannel, splitting supports back-pressure.

• A ErrorMessagePublisher together with the ErrorMessageStrategy have been introduced to pursue better error handling experience with the inception message for the ErrorMessage. The MessageListenerContainer in Spring Kafka 2.0 and Spring AMQP 2.0 are supplied with their own ErrorMessageStrategy to represent the original data in the ErrorMessage for the error handling flow.

• The new MockMessageHandler has been added to Spring Integration Test framework for replacing real `MessageHandler`s for unit testing:

  MessageHandler mockMessageHandler = mockMessageHandler() .handleNextAndReply(m -> m.getPayload().toString().toUpperCase());

  this.mockIntegrationContext .substituteMessageHandlerFor("myServiceActivator", mockMessageHandler);

  this.pojoServiceChannel.send(new GenericMessage<>("foo")); receive = this.results.receive(10000);

  assertEquals("FOO", receive.getPayload());
