We are pleased to announce that Spring Batch 4.0.0.RELEASE is now available through Github, the Pivotal download repository, and Maven Central. This is the generally available release of the 4.0 line. Many thanks to all that contributed to this release.

How We Got Here

Spring Batch 4 is the first major version release of Spring Batch since 3.0 went out in 2014. A lot has changed in the Spring ecosystem since that version went out. This release is intended to bring Spring Batch up to date with those changes. When Spring Batch 3 came out, Java configuration was just beginning to take over XML-based configuration. Spring Boot had not been announced yet. Also, while JDK 8 had just come out, Spring Framework 4 (which Spring Batch 3 was based on) still supported java back to JDK 6. Spring Batch 4 brings upgrades to all of these areas. Let’s take a look.

We are pleased to announce that Spring Batch 4.0.0.RC1 is now available via Github and the Pivotal download repository. This release represents the first release candidate for the Spring Batch 4.0 release. Many thanks to all that contributed to this release.

What’s new?

This release represents the completion of new functionality work on the 4.0.0 line. New features in Spring Batch 4 include:

• Updated baseline
• New builder APIs for out of the box components
• Updated, java configuration friendly, documentation

We are pleased to announce that Spring Batch 4.0.0.M5 is now available via Github and the Pivotal download repository. This release represents the fifth milestone for the Spring Batch 4.0 release. Many thanks to all that contributed to this release.

What’s new?

This milestone continues the work laid out in the previous 4.0.0 milestones. Specific updates include:

• Dependency updates
• FunctionItemProcessor
• Continued updates to documentation

Dependency updates

As the dependency graph of Spring Boot 2 evolves, we have been updating our dependencies to be in line with them. This round includes updates to pull in the GA release of Spring Framework 5 as well as Spring Data Kay. Spring Integration 5.0.0.M7 was also pulled in for this release.

We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 1.2.2.RELEASE is now available via Maven Central, Github and the Pivotal download repository. This release adds support for Spring Framework’s recent added support for db engines other than MYISAM for the sequence tables when using MySql. A special thanks to Thomas Risberg for the contributions around this issue.
