Dear Spring community,

As we are preparing for the Spring Framework 6.2 release later this year, it is time to phase out not only the 6.0.x branch but also the 5.3.x line.

We hereby announce that the last 6.0.x and 5.3.x releases will be published in August, with the official end of open source support on August 31, 2024. Along with Spring Framework 5.3.x, the Spring Security project makes the same adjustment for its 5.8.x timeline.

The Spring Framework 5.3.x line has been one of the longest-supported branches in Spring's history and keeps being supported under commercial support terms for another couple of years. You can read more about our commercial releases at https://spring.vmware.com…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, I talk to Timefold Solver AI lead Geoffrey De Smet about the amazing new integrations for Spring Boot developers.

We are happy to announce the first milestone release of Spring AI, version 0.8.0. A big thanks to the over 50 community members and employees in other companies who have contributed to the project. Your work is very much appreciated!

The Spring AI project was founded based on the realization that creating AI applications was no longer the sole domain of Machine Learning or AI Specialists, who typically use Python. With the meteoric rise in popularity of ChatGPT, which provides a simple Web API to access pre-trained models, creating compelling AI applications has become accessible to software…

I'm excited to announce the availability of Spring Modulith 1.0.6, 1.1.3 and 1.2 M2. The milestone release adds indexes to the event publication registry database tables, improves the execution of the database initialization and moves off the legacy Structurizr diagram generation. On top of that we ship bug fixes in the event externalization, observability infrastructure and event publication registry APIs that all have been back-ported into the service releases.

More details about what went into which release can be found in the change logs linked above.
