Spring Data Elasticsearch shipped property resolution for index names, closing a long-standing configuration gap that forces teams to hardcode index references.

The implementation [1] lands a feature request that lets developers use property placeholders in index declarations, simplifying multi-environment deployments. Spring Tools continues its cleanup cycle with log statement removal [2] and the elimination of a temporary HtmlTooltip workaround [3], while also tackling performance on the Add starters zip download [4]. Logback patches roll across the ecosystem: both Security [5] and Session [6] bumped to 1.6.1 to fix TimeBasedRollingPolicy behavior during asynchronous compression. Integration Samples picked up minor documentation fixes [7] alongside dependency bumps to PostgreSQL 42.7.12 and c3p0 0.14.0 [8]. Across 6 PRs and 33 commits, the focus is on polish and the one feature that unblocks a real use case.

Action items

→ Review Elasticsearch index name property resolution for your configuration strategy spring-projects/spring-data-elasticsearch [plan]
→ Pull the Logback 1.6.1 upgrade in Security and Session when you next bump dependencies spring-projects/spring-security [monitor]
→ Test the Spring Tools HtmlTooltip workaround removal in your IDE plugins spring-projects/spring-tools [monitor]
