SPRING FRAMEWORK 7.1 FORCES RECKONING ACROSS SECURITY, AMQP, AND BOOT

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Spring

Spring Security and Spring AMQP are shipping deprecation fixes ahead of Framework 7.1's removal of RestTemplate and HandlerMappingIntrospector, while Boot adapts to upstream dependency shifts.

Spring Security is systematically addressing Spring Framework 7.1 breaking changes in two commits: suppressing warnings on internal RestTemplate usage [1] until migration to RestClient completes, and disabling CORS tests that relied on HandlerMappingIntrospector's implicit behavior [2], which the framework no longer provides. Spring AMQP moved faster, deprecating RestTemplateNodeLocator entirely [3] and shipping a RestClientNodeLocator replacement to keep LocalizedQueueConnectionFactory functional. On the dependency front, Boot upgraded MongoDB to 5.9.2 [5], while both Boot and AMQP adapted to Micrometer's snapshot API changes [4]. Spring Kafka streamlined its CI matrix by removing Windows runners [6] and is rolling out an update-release-train-versions workflow [7] for cleaner release automation. JUnit 6.1.3 landed across the ecosystem [ref:10, ref:14], and HttpClient 5 bumped to 5.6.4 [10].
