In this wide-ranging interview, I finally sit down one-on-one and talk to Dr. Rod Johnson, the creator of Spring, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, engineer, father, Kotlin fan, AI researcher, and musician, about this, that, and everything in between, fresh off our recent SpringOne presentation on Spring AI with Spring AI founder Dr. Mark Pollack. This is an extra special, extra-long episode!

The Spring Framework has released version 6.1.13 that contains a fix for CVE-2024-38816: Path traversal vulnerability in functional web frameworks.

Spring Framework 6.2.0-RC1 is available from repo.spring.io/milestone now, check out the detailed changelog for this version.

Housekeeping

On top of new features, we also use minor versions as an opportunity to do some housekeeping in our codebase. For example, we harmonized Reactor client class names within the http.client package or promoted Etag as a first class concept. While those changes should be functionally equivalent, they might cause…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's September 3rd, and I'm still buzzing from the last week's SpringOne extravaganza! Also: I'm tired. Last week was nuts. I'm super glad it happened, but I'm tired. And also buzzing. You know? Surely you don't. I hope not lol. It's confusing. I feel like I am still "on," like there's work to be done for SpringOne. But I think I also appreciate that it's in the rear view window and it's time to focus on what's ahead: Asia! This Friday, I head to Korea, then Japan, then India, and then (not yet confirmed) China.
