I'm pleased to announce the release of Spring Social Facebook 2.0.1.RELEASE. This maintenance release addresses a handful of bugs that were discovered following the 2.0.0.RELEASE two weeks ago. For complete details regarding this release, see the changelog.

Note that if you're using Spring Social Facebook with Spring Boot, the Spring Boot starter for Spring Social Facebook still references 1.1.1.RELEASE. But you can override that by explicitly declaring the 2.0.1.RELEASE dependency in your Maven or Gradle build. See the Spring Social Showcase/Spring Boot example to see how this is done.

Dear Spring Community,

I'm happy to announce the release of Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0.RELEASE. This release completes the overhaul of Spring Social Facebook to target version 2.3 of Facebook's Graph API.Facebook will be turning off version 1.0 of their Graph API on April 30th, so it is highly recommended that you upgrade to Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0.RELEASE as soon as possible.

As has been mentioned in last week's release candidate and in milestone releases prior to that, Facebook's Graph API introduced several breaking changes which resulted in many breaking changes between Spring Social Facebook 1.1.x and Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0. Also, even some operations that still work do not work as they did previously. For example, it is no longer possible to fetch a list of all…

We're pleased to announce a first milestone release of Spring Statemachine 1.0.0.M1. This blog also acts as introductory for this new project.

While it'd be nice to write a blog post introducing new cutting edge technology hot from a press, finite statemachines has been around longer than readers of this post(grandpa you can now lower your hand). There are technologies which come and go and then there are these fundamental technologies which stick around simply because they are proven to work.

Every programmer is most likely already using concepts of states of some sort in their applications…
