The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Sometimes, small details matter...

While polishing Spring Framework 7, Juergen Hoeller has been able to craft a BridgeMethodResolver optimization that massively reduces the reflection performed on bean methods at startup. It has been backported to 6.2.x too.

Avoid unnecessary bridge method resolution around getMostSpecificMethod · Issue #35780 · spring-projects/spring-framework
Following up on #21843 in 6.1.3, it turns out that this commonly causes performance regressions, unnecessarily introspecting non-annotated methods in complex class hierarchies on startup. Revisitin...

Want to play the blame game about the GOP’s shellacking in Tuesday election? It’ll be quick. The one and only answer is Donald Trump.

#SpringCloud 2025.1.0-RC1 will be released early next week and will be compatible with Spring Boot 4.0.0-RC2.
I am happy to share that we have released Spring Boot 4.0.O-RC2.

RC2 adds some fine tuning for Spring projects that had to do a second RC as well. We've also swiftly reacted to changes in the community: Jersey released a 4.0.0 that is compatible with Jakarta EE 11 so its support was reinstated.
