WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.161 --> 00:00:03.254 In this video, we're gonna get an update 2 00:00:03.254 --> 00:00:04.254 on Spring 5. 3 00:00:07.062 --> 00:00:09.369 So in the previous video, I actually gave you 4 00:00:09.369 --> 00:00:10.780 the Spring Release Timeline, 5 00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:12.771 but I need to make a quick update here, 6 00:00:12.771 --> 00:00:16.835 because recently they made some new releases to Spring. 7 00:00:16.835 --> 00:00:20.544 So in September of 2017 they released Spring 5. 8 00:00:20.544 --> 00:00:22.170 Yeah, wow, pretty exciting. 9 00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:25.825 So a new, major version of Spring was released. 10 00:00:25.825 --> 00:00:27.696 And so you may wonder, "OK, well, 11 00:00:27.696 --> 00:00:30.053 "what's new in Spring 5?" 12 00:00:30.053 --> 00:00:32.012 Well, one item here is that they 13 00:00:32.012 --> 00:00:35.588 upgraded the minimum requirements of Java to Java 8. 14 00:00:35.588 --> 00:00:39.755 So, in order to use Spring 5 you must use Java 8 or higher. 15 00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.686 They also deprecated legacy integration 16 00:00:43.686 --> 00:00:46.977 for some old, third-party projects. 17 00:00:46.977 --> 00:00:48.449 So there were some third-party projects 18 00:00:48.449 --> 00:00:50.988 like Tiles, Velocity, Portlets and so on, 19 00:00:50.988 --> 00:00:53.093 they removed support for those. 20 00:00:53.093 --> 00:00:55.722 Now, don't worry, it doesn't impact this course 21 00:00:55.722 --> 00:00:57.917 because I don't cover those projects 22 00:00:57.917 --> 00:00:59.867 because they're already outdated 23 00:00:59.867 --> 00:01:01.705 and I decided not to cover them anyway, 24 00:01:01.705 --> 00:01:04.195 so no impact here on this course. 25 00:01:04.195 --> 00:01:07.649 They also upgraded Spring MVC to the new version 26 00:01:07.649 --> 00:01:10.688 of Servlet API 4.0, just to take advantage 27 00:01:10.688 --> 00:01:14.191 of some of the newer features in that Servlet API. 28 00:01:14.191 --> 00:01:15.532 line:15% Another item here is that they added 29 00:01:15.532 --> 00:01:19.699 line:15% a new reactive programming framework called Spring WebFlux. 30 00:01:21.375 --> 00:01:23.865 Now, you may want to get more details here 31 00:01:23.865 --> 00:01:25.937 on the actual release notes. 32 00:01:25.937 --> 00:01:28.527 So what I've done here is set up a link on my website, 33 00:01:28.527 --> 00:01:31.911 luv2code.com/spring-5-what's-new. 34 00:01:31.911 --> 00:01:35.588 This'll actually redirect you to the official Spring website 35 00:01:35.588 --> 00:01:37.966 and it will show you the Spring 5 release notes 36 00:01:37.966 --> 00:01:41.753 where they itemize each one of the new features. 37 00:01:41.753 --> 00:01:44.159 line:15% So you may also have questions about Spring 5 38 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.244 line:15% as far as Frequently Asked Questions. 39 00:01:46.244 --> 00:01:49.464 line:15% So again, at luv2code.com/spring-5-faq 40 00:01:49.464 --> 00:01:52.392 line:15% it will simply redirect you to the official Spring website 41 00:01:52.392 --> 00:01:56.992 line:15% where they list all of the FAQs and provide answers. 42 00:01:56.992 --> 00:01:59.320 Now you may wonder, "Well, how does Spring 5 43 00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:00.832 "impact this course?" 44 00:02:00.832 --> 00:02:02.055 Well, the nice thing to know is 45 00:02:02.055 --> 00:02:04.460 that all of the code examples in this course 46 00:02:04.460 --> 00:02:06.248 will work on Spring 5. 47 00:02:06.248 --> 00:02:08.819 And, I'll also add new videos 48 00:02:08.819 --> 00:02:12.486 to cover the new Spring 5 specific features. 49 00:02:13.411 --> 00:02:16.651 Okay, but you may wonder, "Well, what about Spring 4?" 50 00:02:16.651 --> 00:02:18.290 Because some of you may have projects 51 00:02:18.290 --> 00:02:20.708 at your job that are still using Spring 4. 52 00:02:20.708 --> 00:02:23.135 And you need to learn Spring, and you need 53 00:02:23.135 --> 00:02:24.801 to be able to support Spring 4 54 00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:27.259 and then also possibly look at some Spring 5 stuff. 55 00:02:27.259 --> 00:02:29.352 But don't worry, because the majority of the videos 56 00:02:29.352 --> 00:02:31.637 in this course were run on Spring 4. 57 00:02:31.637 --> 00:02:34.088 Spring 5 simply added some new features. 58 00:02:34.088 --> 00:02:37.996 line:15% But the core Spring 4 features are still the same. 59 00:02:37.996 --> 00:02:39.633 line:15% So those things don't change. 60 00:02:39.633 --> 00:02:43.737 line:15% So, like, Inversion of Control, Dependency Injection, 61 00:02:43.737 --> 00:02:48.358 line:15% Spring AOP, Spring MVC, all that's in Spring 4 62 00:02:48.358 --> 00:02:50.693 line:15% and it also works the same in Spring 5. 63 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:52.500 So, no worries there. 64 00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.973 All of the core stuff, the important stuff, 65 00:02:54.973 --> 00:02:55.966 is still the same. 66 00:02:55.966 --> 00:02:58.262 Because Spring 5 simply just added new stuff. 67 00:02:58.262 --> 00:03:00.497 They didn't go back and break any of the old stuff. 68 00:03:00.497 --> 00:03:03.149 So, you're in good books there. 69 00:03:03.149 --> 00:03:06.298 Alright, so what about Spring 5-specific features? 70 00:03:06.298 --> 00:03:07.944 So I'll have videos that will cover 71 00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:09.772 Spring 5-specific features 72 00:03:09.772 --> 00:03:13.171 and these will not work with Spring 4. 73 00:03:13.171 --> 00:03:14.039 Expected, right? 74 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:15.665 It's a new feature. 75 00:03:15.665 --> 00:03:19.832 So for example, Spring 5 WebFlux will not work on Spring 4 76 00:03:21.076 --> 00:03:24.738 because it's a new feature that was added in Spring 5. 77 00:03:24.738 --> 00:03:27.878 line:15% So for those videos, I'll give a special label. 78 00:03:27.878 --> 00:03:31.344 line:15% I'll say, "Spring 5 Only," just so that you know that, 79 00:03:31.344 --> 00:03:34.212 line:15% "Hey, this is something Spring 5 specific 80 00:03:34.212 --> 00:03:36.891 line:15% "and it'll only work in a Spring 5 environment. 81 00:03:36.891 --> 00:03:40.224 line:15% "I can't use it on my Spring 4 project." 82 00:03:41.381 --> 00:03:43.627 So I just wanted to give you that quick update. 83 00:03:43.627 --> 00:03:46.377 So I'll see ya in the next video.
