Spring Boot 1.3.0 M1发布

Spring Boot 1.3.0 M1 发布，此版本现已提供在 Spring milestone repository，此版本是基于 Spring Framework 4.2.0.RC1 构建的，提供一些新特性和改进，主要更新内容如下： 

• A new spring-boot-devtools module with support for automatic restart, LiveReload and remote update.

• Extensive caching support for EhCache, Hazelcast, Infinispan, Redis, Guava or any compliant JSR-107 (JCache) implementation. Cache metric information is now also exposed via the actuator (when the underlying technology supports it).

• Improved metrics support, include export and aggregation features and big performance improvements if you’re using Java 8.

• Fully executable JARs for Linux based operating systems, including “service” support. Starting a Boot application as a Linux service is now as easy as typing: sudo ln -s /var/myapp/myapp.jar /etc/init.d/myapp.

• Additional OAuth2 Support, including @EnableAuthorizationServer, @EnableResourceServer and @EnableOAuth2Client annotations.

• New HealthEndpoints for Elasticsearch, Email and JMS.

• Maven start and stop goals to help with integration testing.

Spring Boot 项目旨在简化创建产品级的 Spring 应用和服务。你可通过它来选择不同的 Spring 平台。可创建独立的 Java 应用和 Web 应用，同时提供了命令行工具来允许 'spring scripts'.

下图显示 Spring Boot 在 Spring 生态中的位置：

该项目主要的目的是：

• 为 Spring 的开发提供了更快更广泛的快速上手

• 使用默认方式实现快速开发

• 提供大多数项目所需的非功能特性，诸如：嵌入式服务器、安全、心跳检查、外部配置等

Spring Boot 不生成代码，完全无需 XML 配置。
