This blog introduces the across-platform-bom, and explains why it should be used instead of the across-application-parent.

Across development will be very limited from now on, basically only upgrading to newer Spring Boot versions. Modules that are not used anymore, will be gradually removed as applications will migrate away from Across.

You should definitely not start any new projects with Across.

A more lightweight alternative is Spring Modulith.

After a few years of little activity, Across Framework and Platform 5.2.1 have been released today.

For the details see the Release notes.

This release updates a number of standard modules with new features and a few bugfixes.

Upgrading

Upgrading from 5.0 should be seamless and we advise developers to do so when possible. Upgrading only individual modules might result in breaking changes and is not advised.

Platform 5.0.1 is a major release containing numerous breaking changes. It is the first release using the Spring Boot 2 line.

Upgrading

Upgrading from 2.1.5 will not be trivial, due to major upgrades in the Spring line as well. Developers are encouraged to thorougly read the separate module release notes and follow the migration guide when upgrading.

In the past couple of months we’ve been very actively migrating the available documentation to a new setup. Today is an important milestone as we’ve integrated the new documentation site in the Across website. All available documentation for every standard module can now easily be accessed from the single new section. Some background Both the core projects and all standard modules have always had their own documentation repository. Documentation itself was usually written in Asciidoc and then generated as a separate HTML document, deployed on a static webserver.

Across Platform 2.1.0 bumps Across Core to a new major version (3.x) that greatly improves compatibility with standard Spring and Spring Boot. The Spring Boot dependency has also been updated from 1.4.x to 1.5.x.

This platform upgrade has a lot of updated modules, both with new features and technical (sometimes breaking) refactorings/improvements. We strongly advise you to read the module specific release notes for all details.

Across Platform 2.0.2 updates a number of the standard modules with new features.
