Gradle 9.6.1 rolls across Spring Boot, Security, and LDAP while Logback 1.5.37 lands critical vulnerability patches for conditional configuration processing.

The Spring projects are moving in lockstep on foundational tooling. Gradle 9.6.1 [1] [5] ships improved Configuration Cache hit rates and CLI rendering options, now deployed to spring-ldap, spring-security, and spring-boot build chains. Matching the cadence, JUnit 6.1.1 [2] [6] rolled into spring-ldap and spring-security test suites with platform, Jupiter, and Vintage updates. On the logging front, Logback 1.5.37 [3] [7] addresses vulnerabilities in conditional configuration processing based on Java expression evaluation, now patching both spring-session and spring-security. Spring Boot polished unnecessary `@Nullable` annotations from local variable declarations [8] [9] [10] [11], recognizing that nullability can be inferred from assignment patterns rather than explicit markup. Minor driver updates continue: DB2 jcc bumped to 12.1.5.0 [4] in spring-session without breaking changes flagged.
