The third milestone of Spring Framework 5.2 includes 50 fixes and improvements while Spring Framework 5.1.8 includes 31 fixes and selected improvements.

Introduction

On behalf of the community I am happy to announce the release of Java CFEnv 1.1 RC1.

The RC1 release adds the following functionality:

• Checks the classpath to correctly determine setting of MySQL or MariaDB driver class name.

• When using the Boot support, an exception is thrown if the Spring Cloud Connector library is on the classpath. This applies only for the following services: DataSource, RabbitMQ, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Redis. The exception message indicates to set the environment variable JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_AUTO_RECONFIGURATION '{enabled: false}'

• Support for Boot 1.5.x by copying a logging utility class into the project.

React.js

During the previous Web UI modernization (launched on March 5th), we realized that making even small changes to the site had become more time consuming than we anticipated. The architecture was inhibiting our ability to run experiments and move quickly to make small, incremental changes.

As a result, we decided to rewrite the front-end using a modern and popular javascript framework - Gatsby…
