On behalf of the community, I am excited to announce the availability of Spring Modulith 2.2 RC1, 2.1.2, 2.0.9, and 1.4.14. The bug fix releases primarily ship the usual dependency upgrades, plus a number of fixes to the event publication registry that have been ported back where applicable. The release candidate rounds off the 2.2 feature set on the road to GA.

A few of the user-visible improvements since 2.2 M1 include:

• Event completion now happens within the listener's transaction by default -- Marking an event publication as completed now participates in the transaction of the event listener, so the completion and the listener's business changes succeed or fail together. GH-1961
• Failed and abandoned publications can be told apart -- Event publications can now enter an abandoned state, which makes it possible to distinguish publications that will not be retried from the ones that merely failed. GH-1764
• More control over module dependencies -- Allowed dependencies can now be declared on everything a module exposes, including its base package, via module :: ** (GH-1924). NamedInterface instances can be registered programmatically for types, not just packages (GH-1839). Shared modules no longer list themselves as allowed targets (GH-1927).
• Testing improvements -- EventResult gets notToArrive() to assert that an event does not arrive (GH-1357).@ApplicationModuleTest is now resolved correctly on @Nested test classes with Spring Boot 4.2 (GH-1890).
• Event publication registry fixes -- Completed publications can no longer be claimed for resubmission and be marked as failed again (GH-1925). The minimum age for resubmission is honored by the JDBC and JPA repositories (GH-1908). Zero per-state timeouts are no longer treated as immediately stale (GH-1917). Events excluded via the registry trigger annotation no longer cause serialization failures (GH-1903).
• MongoDB and Namastack Outbox -- The MongoDB repository supports status lookup and marking publications as failed via the staleness monitor (GH-1855) and no longer uses $merge when archiving (GH-1412). The Namastack integration stores the original domain event and evaluates broker routing against it (GH-1895, GH-1896).
• Moments -- We now support hour and second granularity. GH-1688
• Platform and dependency upgrades – Including builds against Spring Boot 4.2 and Micrometer Tracing 1.8, ArchUnit 1.5.1, JobRunr 9.0.1, and Namastack Outbox 1.10.1.
