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.

Spring Modulith 2.0 M1 ships the major changes anticipated for the registry, and the JDBC implementation is tweaked to support the new event publication status model. All other store modules have been updated to still work but…

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…

I am pleased to announce the availability of Spring Modulith 1.4.1 and 1.3.7. The releases contain the usual dependency upgrades to the latest Spring Boot and Framework versions. 1.4.1 additionally ships the following bug fixes and improvements:

Improvements

• Reflection metadata missing in JSONPath lookup for application module identifiers on GraalVM #1250
• Prevent application module misconfiguration due to invalid additional packages #1247

Bugs

• Incompatible path handling for KAPT with Maven #1255
• Fix automatic module name of Moments artifact #1220

On behalf of the community, I am delighted that after a half year's work we can announce Spring Modulith 1.4. The release is packed with new features, such as:

Core

• Refinements in the core ApplicationModule(s) abstractions and documentation generation (GH-1150, GH-1152)
• We introduced an SPI to detect NamedInterfaces programatically (GH-1009).
• We fixed a performance regression in JavaPackage the erroneously repeatedly recomputed all sub packages. (also fixed in 1.3.4 and 1.2.10, GH-1098)

Testing

• Integration tests using @ApplicationModuleTest can now consume bean instances of classes declared in test sources. (GH-202)
• The global PublishedEvents instance registered in an ApplicationContext will now be an AssertablePublishedEvents if AssertJ is on the classpath. (GH-1110)
…

I am happy to announce the availability of Spring Modulith 1.4 RC1, 1.3.5, and 1.2.11. While the latter contain a few bug fixes and the usual dependency upgrades to the latest Spring Boot releases, the milestone also includes a few new features:

• Performance improvements both in the core event publication registry and the observability instrumentation. (GH-1146, GH-1149)
• The Scenario API only considers non-empty collections as successful state transitions by default (GH-1131)
• Refinements in the core ApplicationModule(s) abstractions and documentation generation (GH-1150, GH-1152)
• Minor (internal) cleanups (GH-1153, GH-1122)
