After a very busy previous week, it was a very quiet week for the Spring team. On the way to Spring Batch 5.0.0, the fifth milestone release became available with updates including: removal of automatic task wiring in the JobLauncherTestUtils class; a migration to JUnit Jupiter. and documentation improvements. This release also has dependency upgrades to Spring Framework 6.0.0-M5, Spring Data 2022.0.0-M5, Spring Integration 6.0.0-M4, Spring AMQP 3.0.0-M3, Spring for Apache Kafka 3.0.0-M5, Micrometer 1.10.0-M4 and Hibernate 6.1.2.Final. And finally, Spring Batch 5.0.0-M5 introduces two deprecations, namely: the Hibernate ItemReader and ItemWriter interfaces for cursor/pagination are now deprecated in favor of those based on the Jakarta Persistence specification. and the AssertFile utility class was also deprecated due to the discovery of two static methods in JUnit that provide the same functionality.
