SPRING ECOSYSTEM CLOSES COMMONS LOGGING GAP ACROSS THREE PROJECTS

Spring LDAP, Spring Session, and Spring Data Rest are all pulling the same commons-logging 1.4.0 upgrade overnight, closing a dependency consistency gap across the stack.

Both spring-ldap [1] and spring-session [2] bumped commons-logging from 1.3.6 to 1.4.0 in coordinated moves that suggest this was flagged as a priority across the dependency graph. Spring Tools landed a critical fix for bean method validation [3], stopping false positives when public @Bean methods override inherited methods from superclasses or interfaces, a real pain point for WebMvcConfigurer implementations. The tools team also pinned esbuild to 0.28.1 [4] and updated Spring Boot, Spring AI, and JDT Core dependencies [5]. Spring Data Rest shipped a fix ensuring link-save events now capture the value being saved rather than the previously linked value [6], which matters for PUT operations on collections and maps. Spring Kafka fixed a POM leak where spotbugs was incorrectly marked runtimeOnly instead of compileOnly [7], which was leaking into final artifacts.
