Spring Cloud Release

Abstract

1. Introduction

Spring Cloud Release Train is a curated set of dependencies across a range of Spring Cloud projects. You consume it by using the spring-cloud-dependencies POM to manage dependencies in Maven or Gradle. The release trains have names, not versions, to avoid confusion with the sub-projects. The names are an alphabetic sequence (so you can sort them chronologically) with names of London Tube stations ("Angel" is the first release, "Brixton" is the second).

Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into main. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below.
