[Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 2.5 RC2 released

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

Dear Spring community,

 

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 2.5 RC2 has been released!
This is the second release candidate for Spring 2.5, introducing various
feature refinements, performance improvements as well as fixes for bugs that
have been reported against RC1.

 

The 2.5 RC2 release is now available from SourceForge: 

 

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73357
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73357&package_id=1736
44> &package_id=173644

 

The 2.5 final release is scheduled for November 19th. Please test RC2 in
your applications and let us know about potential regressions or conflicts
with third-party software. We'll do our best to address such issues in time
for the final release.

FYI, a 2.0.8 maintenance release is scheduled for December, backporting
various fixes from the 2.5 branch. 2.0.8 candidate snapshots are already
available, waiting for you to give them a test drive in your Spring 2.0.x
based applications:
