Spring Security 3.1.0.RC1 Released

[Luke Taylor]

We're pleased to announce the first release candidate Spring Security 3.1 milestone. Details of the release can be found in the changelog.

As usual, the release is available from the SpringSource downloads area and from the SpringSource maven repository (maven.springframework.org).

Note that non-GA releases are not uploaded to Maven central. If you are using Maven, you should add the following repository information to your pom.xml:

<repository>
    <id>org.springframework.maven.milestone</id>
    <name>Spring Maven Milestone Repository</name>
    <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
</repository>

Thank you as always Luke!

Question on the changelog - is it possible to exclude items from the changelog that were closed WONTFIX (or at least sort these to a different section)? I always get a few surprises when I click through and find that the item wasn't actually fixed in the release.

[edit]
For those who are curious, here's a JIRA permalink which shows all truly fixed items, sorted by version:

After playing with the Spring Social 1.0.0.M2, I recognize the it requests the Spring Security 3.1, to be precise the org.springframework.security.crypto.encrypt class. The latest Spring Security 3.1 release 3.1.0.CR is not for a production usage. I am working on to add social features to an existing application. I have to pray for a quick general release of Spring Security 3.1.
