Spring Batch entered development mode for its next major version as routine dependency patches landed across Integration and Kafka.

Spring Batch shifted to 6.1.0-SNAPSHOT [1], signaling the team is moving forward on the next release cycle. Meanwhile, Spring Integration bumped Groovy from 5.0.7 to 5.0.8 [2], and Spring Kafka pulled in Hibernate Validator 9.1.3.Final [3], a patch release that addresses validation refinements. All three moves are low-risk maintenance work, typical of the quiet rhythm between major releases. Nothing here blocks deployments or demands immediate action.

Action items

→ Monitor Spring Batch 6.1.0 development branch for breaking changes before upgrading spring-projects/spring-batch [monitor]
→ Pull the Groovy and Validator updates at next maintenance window spring-projects/spring-integration [plan]
