Spring Cloud 2025.0.0 (aka Northfields) has been released

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce the General Availability (GA) of the Spring Cloud 2025.0.0 Release Train is available today. The release can be found in Maven Central. You can check out the 2025.0.0 release notes for more information.

Notable Changes in the 2025.0.0 Release Train

This release is compatible with Spring Boot 3.5.0. See all issues and pull requests that are part of the release here. Below are highlights from all the milestones leading up to the GA release.

Spring Cloud Gateway

• Adds support for spring-cloud-function and spring-cloud-stream handlers #3646.
• Adds support for a Bucket4jRateLimiter in server webflux #2955.
• Deprecate WebClientRouting infrastructure. This will be removed in 5.0 later this year. #3680
• New Module and Starter names have been created, and the old names are deprecated. The new and deprecated artifacts are listed in the table below #3645. These new names clarify the two styles of gateway (server or proxy exchange) as well as the two web stacks from Spring Framework (Web MCV and WebFlux). Use of the deprecated artifacts will add a warning message in the logs.

• Migration to new property prefixes to match the new module names: #3361, #3362, #3363, #3647. Use spring-boot-properties-migrator to support the deprecated prefixes. The table below lists the module or starter, its old prefix, and the new replacement prefix.

• The X-Forwarded-* and Forwarded header functionality will be disabled by default with the fix versions. If you require X-Forwarded-* or Forwarded header functionality, set spring.cloud.gateway.server.webflux.trusted-proxies to a Java Regular Expression that specifies the proxies whose headers you trust. If you are using Spring Cloud Gateway Server MVC (only available from 4.1.x onward) set spring.cloud.gateway.mvc.trusted-proxies. For example for Spring Cloud Gateway Server:

spring.cloud.gateway.server.webflux.trusted-proxies=10.0.0..*

For example, for Spring Cloud Gateway Server WebMVC:

spring.cloud.gateway.server.webmvc.trusted-proxies=10.0.0..*

Spring Cloud Config

Support YAML specific profile documents in AWS S3 buckets (#2825).

Spring Cloud Kubernetes

• Kubernetes as a Composite config source #1873.
• Breaking Change Upgrade To Fabric8 7.3.1 #1923.

• Allow customizing Apache HTTP Client 5 RequestConfig in EurekaClientHttpRequestFactorySupplier #4391.
