It's the end of July! JULY! The seventh month of the year, done and dusted! AHHHHH! I've got memories of being on a tropical beach over the winter holidays, sipping rum and dodging mosquitoes like I was doing a rhythmic gymnastics routine just recently. It turns out that was seven months ago, not recently. Who did this to us? Why is it happening so quickly?

I am excited to announce the release of Spring Modulith 2.0 M1. It marks the starting point of a new generation and is thus based on the latest Spring Boot 4 M1 release and Spring Framework 7.0 M7. The main feature of the upcoming generation of Spring Modulith will be the revamped Event Publication Registry that'll address many of the limitations of the current version.

I am pleased to announce the availability of Spring Modulith 1.4.2 and 1.3.8. The releases contain the usual dependency upgrades to the latest Spring Boot and Framework versions.

1.4.2 ships with more detailed application module metadata generated into application-modules.json (either with our AOT support enabled during the build or via the documentation generated through the Documenter API). This has enabled our friends at Sonargraph, a tool to logically define application architectures and perform advanced exploration and verification, to build integration for Spring Modulith applications. As described in their announcing blog post, they now support creating an architecture definition by picking up the structure defined in you application…
