CHANGELOG

All notable user-facing changes to this project are documented in this file.

Release [4.0.0.RC1] 18-Mar-2026

This is a release candidate for 4.0.0. It targets Spring Boot 4.x and Spring Framework 7.x. Please test thoroughly before using in production.

Features

  • Spring Boot 4.x support — compatible with Spring Boot 4.0.1 and above.
  • Spring Framework 7.x support — built against Spring Framework 7.0.3, taking advantage of the updated messaging and context APIs.
  • Java 21 baseline — Java 21 is now the minimum supported runtime.
  • Jackson 3.x support — updated serialization layer to use Jackson 3.x (tools.jackson packages).
  • Lettuce 7.x support — Redis client updated to Lettuce 7.2.x.
  • GenericMessageConverter now supports generic envelope types such as Event<T>. The type parameter is resolved from the runtime class of the corresponding field value, enabling transparent round-trip serialization without requiring a custom message converter.

Migration Notes

  • Requires Java 21+.
  • Requires Spring Boot 4.x / Spring Framework 7.x. Not backward compatible with Spring Boot 3.x — use the 3.x release line for older Spring Boot versions.
  • Jackson package namespace changed from com.fasterxml.jackson to tools.jackson in Jackson 3.x. Update any custom ObjectMapper configuration accordingly.

  • Queue names are prefixed, that can lead to error. 1.x users set REDIS key __rq::version to 1. It does try to find the version using key prefix, but if all queues are empty or no key exist in REDIS with prefix rqueue- then it will consider version 2.
