[Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 2.1 M2 released

[Juergen H. <jue...@in...>]

Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring 2.1 M2 has been released!

This is the second milestone release in the Spring 2.1 series, introducing
refinements in the annotation config support as well as support for AspectJ
load-time weaving and various further new features.

This release also introduces a revised structure for Spring's module jars,
now prepared for OSGi. Note that Hibernate 2.1 support has been dropped:
Spring generally requires Hibernate 3.1 or higher now.

FYI, we have also released a 2.0.6 snapshot, containing backported fixes
from 2.1 M2. Please give this snapshot a try as a drop-in replacement for
2.0.5! The official 2.0.6 release is scheduled for June 15th.

Cheers,

Juergen
