5.0.0.RELEASE
Spring Framework 7 and Boot 4 Features
The release includes extensive support for API versioning with CodeLens summaries, validation for versioning strategies, and integration with request mapping symbols.
It also supports functional bean definitions via the new BeanRegistrar API, AOT repositories in Spring Data with SQL query visualization through CodeLenses, and automatic JSpecify annotation configuration for null-safety analysis across supported IDEs.
Please see the Ready for Boot 4 and Framework 7 blog entry for more details.
Logical Structure View
The most transformative addition is the Logical Structure View, developed in cooperation with Spring Modulith and jMolecules. This revolutionary feature organizes projects by Spring stereotypes (controllers, services, repositories, entities) rather than traditional file/folder structures, providing a conceptual view that matches how developers think about Spring applications. The view supports custom stereotypes through files or annotations, and automatically integrates with modular architecture when present. Please see the blog entry for more details.
