Hello world! Since we last talked, I've been in multiple cities in China, including Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, talking to customers and community members alike.

I am pleased to announce that the Spring for Apache Kafka 1.1.0.RELEASE is now available in the spring release repo and Maven Central.

Due to some community requirements, we decided to bypass the Release Candidate (RC) phase and released General Availability (GA) immediately.

There are not many changes since the previous Milestone 2, but here is a summary of all Spring Kafka 1.1 changes:

• Apache Kafka 0.10 upgrade;

• The batch of messages support via BatchMessageListener as well as via @KafkaListener annotation configuration;

• The null payload concept support via KafkaNull placeholder object;

• You can now perform seek operations from the listener - this allows setting an initial offset when partitions are assigned by Kafka when using group management. You can also perform arbitrary seek operations after initialization;

• Allow setting the initial offset to be relative to the current offset;

• The KafkaTemplate now provides access to the metrics and partitionsFor methods on the Producer.

On behalf of the team, I am happy to announce that the Spring Framework 4.3.3 and 4.2.8 maintenance releases are available now.

This third maintenance release of the 4.3 line contains over 60 fixes and improvements and is the base for the upcoming Spring Boot 1.4.1 release later this week. We'll also release another Spring Framework 5.0 milestone Wednesday so stay tuned for more release announcements!
