On behalf of the entire team I'd like to announce the availability of two service releases for Spring Data release trains: Hopper SR4 and Gosling SR6. The releases are recommended upgrades as they contain fixes for a CVE in Spring Data JPA.

Spring Boot 1.3.8 and 1.4.1 users got Hopper SR3 and Gosling SR5 shipped out of the box. Those releases also already contain the fixes for CVE but unfortunately broke Java 6 compatibility. To re-instantiate the latter, please upgrade to the latest ones by setting the spring-data-releasetrain.version property to the corresponding value. Non-Boot users can just upgrade to the new BOM. As usual, the next Spring Boot releases will pick up the improved fixes as part of…

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the release of the first milestone of Spring Cloud Data Flow for Kubernetes 1.1 along with a 1.0.1 maintenance release.

Spring Cloud Data Flow for Kubernetes provides support for orchestrating long-running (streaming) and short-lived (task/batch) data microservices on Kubernetes.

Note: A great way to start using this new release(s) is to follow the release matrix on the project page, which includes the download coordinates and the links to the reference guide.

The most significant change for both of these releases is the way we handle task launching. We used to orchestrate them as a Job with associated Pods, but that proved problematic in terms of failed jobs getting restarted even with a RestartPolicy specified as "Never". To resolve this, we now launch the tasks using bare pods…
