Submitted by Chris Beams on Tue, 2012-05-29 03:08

The first milestone release toward Spring 3.2 is now available from the SpringSource repository at http://repo.springsource.org. See here for a quick tutorial on resolving these artifacts via Maven.

This release includes:

initial support for asynchronous @Controller methods
early support for JCache-based cache providers
significant performance improvements in autowiring of non-singleton beans
initial delay support for @Scheduled and <task:scheduled>
ability to choose between multiple executuors with @Async
enhanced bean profile selection using the not (!) operator
48 bugs fixed, 8 new features and 36 improvements implemented

This is also the first release since our move to GitHub and using our new Gradle build. A special thanks to the authors of the many pull requests submitted and merged during 3.2 M1! Keep them coming!
