We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 2.1.0M1 is now available on Github and the Pivotal download repository. Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release.

What's New?

Spring Cloud Task 2.1.0.M1 is intended to be the version of the framework aligned with Spring Boot 2.1.0. Updates from 2.0.x include:

• Update all dependencies.
• Spring Cloud Task is now enabled through auto-configuration.
• The exitCode of a TaskExecution is null when a task is executing.
• Spring Cloud Task compiles and runs on Java 8, 9, 10, 11.

Let's walk through these updates in more detail.

Update to All Dependencies

As stated earlier, this release brings Spring Cloud Task into alignment with Spring Boot 2.1. This includes updating all dependencies.

Spring Cloud Task Is Now Enabled through Auto-configuration

Goodbye to @EnableTask and hello to auto-configuration! Spring Cloud Task is now enabled through auto-configuration. To use it, add the spring-cloud-starter-task dependency to your Maven pom or Gradle build file.

Task Execution's exitCode Is Null When a Task Executes

In previous releases of Spring Cloud Task, the TaskExecution returned from Spring Cloud Task methods always showed that a running task's exitCode was 0. Now the TaskExecutions returned from Spring Cloud Task have an exitCode of null if the task is still executing.
