Hi Spring fans! In this installment we look at the many facets of Redis, the distributed data structure server. Spring supports Redis through the Spring Cache abstraction, Spring Session, the Spring message-listener container abstraction, and through the Spring Data Redis module.

Dear Spring Community!

It’s my pleasure to announce Milestone releases for Spring projects supporting Amazon Web Services: Spring Integration for AWS 2.0.0.M2 and Spring Cloud Stream Binder for AWS Kinesis 1.0.0.M2.

Both milestones are available in the Spring Milestone repository and they can be consumed as maven dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-integration-aws</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.M2</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Paris, France and I'll be in Mainz, Germany, next week for JAX and Linz, Austria for the DevOne event. If you're in any of these places then don't hesitate to reach out!

We've got so much to cover so let's get to it!

• Spring Cloud Task and Spring Batch lead Michael Minella just announced Spring Cloud Task 2.0.0.RC1
• Artem Bilan looks at what's new in the Spring Cloud GCP 1.0.0.M3 release.
• Spring Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert just announced Spring Tool Suite 3.9.4
• Spring Boot lead Phil Webb is cooking up a very interesting project to ensure code-formatting consistency for all Spring Boot projects. Interesting! (and still super early days yet..) Think of this as the Java and Spring Boot equivalent of gofmt.
• Spring Data ninja Mark Paluch just announced Spring Data Lovelace M2. This release ships with updates for all store modules that contain new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Notable changes include: MongoDB 3.6 support for Change Streams, $jsonSchema, and Client Sessions (in preparation for MongoDB Transactions); Apache Cassandra mapping improvements for Map and Tuple Types, along with newly introduced Lifecycle Callbacks; Upgrade to Apache Solr 7; Improved Connection Handling…

Dear Spring Community!

The Spring Cloud GCP is a set of Spring Boot starters that is designed to help you leverage Google Cloud Platform managed services directly from Spring Boot, allowing you to use Spring Messaging for Cloud Pub/Sub, Spring Resource for Cloud Storage, Spring Cloud Sleuth for Stackdriver Trace, Spring Data with Cloud SQL, and more.

We’ve just released Spring Cloud GCP 1.0.0.M3. Check out what’s new since the previous Milestone 2!

Spring Boot 2.0 GA Support

Spring Cloud GCP 1.0.0.M3 is now up to date to work with Spring Boot 2.0.1.RELEASE and Spring Cloud Finchley.M9.

To use Spring Cloud GCP 1.0.0.M3, simply import the BOM in your Spring Boot 2.0…

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 3.9.4 release of the Spring Tool Suite, our Eclipse-based tooling.

Highlights from this release include:

• updated to Eclipse Oxygen.3a release, including support for JDK 10
• Pivotal tc Server updated to 4.0.0

To download the distributions, please go visit:

• Spring Tool Suite: https://spring.io/tools/sts/all

Detailed new and noteworthy notes can be found here: STS 3.9.4 New & Noteworthy.

STS 3.9.5 is scheduled to be released on top of Eclipse Photon (4.8.0) in late June 2018.

Enjoy!

We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 2.0.0.RC1 is now available on Github and the Pivotal download repository. Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release.

What's New?

This release includes upgrades to existing dependencies as well as some nice new features. Let's take a look at what's new in this release.

Compatibility with Spring Cloud Stream 2.0

Spring Cloud Stream 2.0 was released a few days ago and provides a collection of impressive enhancements. Spring Cloud Task is updated and supports Spring Cloud Stream 2.0

Multiple DataSource Sample

A common point of confusion for Spring Cloud Task is how to configure a task application when using multiple DataSource beans. In this release, we provided a sample that demonstrates how that should work. You can find that sample here…

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I’d like to announce the availability of the second milestone of the Lovelace release train.

This release ships with updates for all store modules that contain new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Notable changes include:

• MongoDB 3.6 support for Change Streams, $jsonSchema, and Client Sessions (in preparation for MongoDB Transactions).
• Apache Cassandra mapping improvements for Map and Tuple Types, along with newly introduced Lifecycle Callbacks.
• Upgrade to Apache Solr 7.
• Improved Connection Handling for reactive Redis and static Master/Slave use.
• SCAN support for Redis Cluster.
• List support for Spring Data JDBC.
• Composable repositories support via CDI.

On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Security OAuth 2.3.2.RELEASE.

This release resolves a runtime incompatibility issue with RedisTokenStore and Spring Data Redis 2.0.x. See #1319 and #1335. This release also includes a few minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Last week, we released Spring Data Ingalls SR11 and Kay SR, which include fixes for the following vulnerabilities:

• https://pivotal.io/security/cve-2018-1273
• https://pivotal.io/security/cve-2018-1274

Spring Boot 1.5.11 (superseded by 1.5.12 due to CVE-2018-1275) and 2.0.1 already pull in the above Spring Data versions, including the fixes that were released last week, and are now also available for use.

Please review the information in the CVE reports and upgrade immediately.
