[ANNOUNCE] Spring Session for Apache Geode 2.0.0.RC2 Available!

[John Blum <jb...@pivotal.io>]

Greetings Apache Geode Community-

I am pleased to announce the release of *Spring Session for Apache Geode*
*2.0.0.RC2*.

The artifact is available from https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone.

Simply include the following Maven dependency declaration...

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.session</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-session-data-geode</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.RC2</version>
</dependency>

And repository declaration...

<repository>
  <id>spring-libs-milestone</id>
  <name>Spring libs-milestone Maven Repository</name>
  <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone</url>
</repository>

This release includes the following improvements...

* Based on Spring Framework 5.0.2.RELEASE
* Based on Spring Boot 2.0.0.M6
* Based on Spring Data Kay-SR2
* Based on Spring Security 5.0.0.RELEASE
* Based on Spring Session core 2.0.0.RC2

* Updates Session event handling and notifications to appropriately handle
all Apache Geode "PROXY" Region types, both on the client as well as on the
server (think Region Data Accessors [1]).  SSDG also adapts to API changes
in *Spring Session* core to ensure all (Spring) Session events triggering *Java
Servlet* HttpSessionListeners contain a reference to the Session that
triggered the event.  Previously, in certain cases, *Spring Session* core
may only have included a reference to the Session's ID in the event.

GA is just around the corner and should be available sometime after *SpringOne
Platform 2017*.

If you have chance, be sure to try and get to the conference [2].  I will
be giving 3 talks this year, 2 of which involve Apache Geode with *Spring
Data* [3].

As always, any feedback is appreciated:

*GitHub* Issues [4], PR [5] or on *StackOverflow* [6].

That's all for now folks.

Cheers!
