Spring Data 2023.1 goes RC1

It is my pleasure to announce that a feature-complete Spring Data 2023.1 release candidate is available now! This release is in preparation for a first Spring Boot 3.2 release candidate next week. We expect final releases for general availability in November.

This RC ships a couple of New and Noteworthy changes:

• @ReadPreference support for Repository Query Methods and support for dots in MongoDB document field names.
• Revision of the Converter arrangement in Spring Data Relational allowing to use the same converter abstraction for JDBC and R2DBC modules.
• Asynchronous Caching support for Redis when using the Lettuce driver.

You can find the consolidated list of changes at the release notes for the 2023.1 release train.
