We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 1.2.0.M1 is now available via Github and the Pivotal download repository. Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release.

Spring Cloud Task 1.2.0.M1 offers the following features:

This is the first milestone for the 1.2.x line of Spring Cloud Task. Intended to continue the integrations required for Spring Cloud Data Flow, this release provides the following new features:

• Better DataSource integration between task and batch - This release makes configuring the DataSource used by the task/batch integration easier.

• Allows an external process to update the external execution id - Prior to this release, the external execution id (the execution id for the underlying platform) had to be updated by the task itself. In some use cases, this is not possible. This release exposes the ability to update the external execution id outside the scope of the task itself.

• Allow the user to configure a prefix for the task tables - Similar to how Spring Batch allows a user to configure a prefix for the batch repository tables, Spring Cloud Task now exposes the ability to configure a prefix for task repository tables as well.
