Dear Spring community,

It is my pleasure to announce that the first Spring Framework 6.0 milestone release is available from htts://repo.spring.io/milestone now. This initial milestone covers our baseline upgrade efforts, in particular requiring JDK 17+ and migrating to the Jakarta EE 9 APIs; see my recent baseline blog post for the rationale. At the same time, it removes many long-deprecated classes, including several support packages for outdated third-party infrastructure.

For current upgrade notes, please refer to our Upgrading to Spring Framework 6.0 page which we will keep updating. Follow our main branch on GitHub for the latest changes, as we prepare for 6.0 M2 and the corresponding Spring Boot 3.0 M1 release in January. At that point, you will also be able to consume Spring Framework 6.0 through https://start.spring.io/. For the time being, feel free to grab 6.0 M1 from https://repo.spring.io/…

Update Jan 5, 2022: The releases include fixes for CVE-2021-22060 whose official publication was deferred until today since many people take time off at the end of the year.

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring Framework 5.3.14 and 5.2.19 are available now.

Spring Framework 5.3.14 includes 36 fixes and improvements. Spring Framework 5.2.19 includes 11 selected fixes and improvements.

Stay tuned for the announcement of Spring Framework 6.0.0-M1 later today!

In this milestone, we have further improved the annotation programming model and extended the Spring Data support that were provided in the previous milestones.

Interface Projections for GraphQL Arguments

If you're familiar with Spring Data's Interface-based Projections, then this new feature will make perfect sense: you can use a well-defined interface to work with GraphQL arguments, without the need for any Object implementation.

For example:
