1. Spring and Java

>> Oracle Releases Java 25 [oracle.com]

Java 25 is here, and it’s packed with features to boost productivity and AI development. With 18 JDKs, the release simplifies the language, introduces structured concurrency, and improves performance. Oh, and it’s LTS, so we’ll have at least eight years of support.

>> API Versioning in Spring [spring.io]

Spring Framework 7 is taking the headache out of API versioning. With the new new tools – ApiVersionStrategy and a version-aware @RequestMapping – we can now implement versioning much more easily.

Client-side requests are also simplified. Good stuff as always.
