Axon Framework 5.0.0 - Milestone 2 Release

We have released Axon Framework 5.0.0 Milestone 2 today :tada:.

After getting milestone one out the door, the team has been empowered to push through to the next one. All so that we can get a full release of 5.0.0 released somewhere this year.

This milestone contains roughly four major pointers, being:

  1. Axon Server DCB support
  2. Renewed Entity (previous aggregate) Modelling support
  3. Spring Boot Integration
  4. Update Checker

You can expect at least two more milestones from us before Axon Framework 5.0.0 will be released fully. Until that time, we would like to ask you to play around and experiment with release “5.0.0-M2”.

To ease your path into this milestone, we’ve made a new getting started guide. It’s this guide that shows the new configuration, test fixture, stateful command handlers, Axon Server with DCB, and, of course, how we imagine support for the dynamic consistency boundary for everybody. We will update the getting started with each new milestone, to help everybody comprehend what’s been provided.

Once you have explored this or a subsequent milestone, we would welcome your feedback very much! To that end, you can open a new topic under the “AF5 Milestone” category; we’ll be sure to reply there as soon as possible. We have also provided a feedback template for your convenience.

If you want to know the complete change list for milestone 2, please check the release notes here.

The Axon Framework team thanks everybody who will put time and energy into this milestone! Know that any input you gives us, good or bad, us very much appreciated.

Congrats! Nice progress. Nevertheless I have a rookie question. I can not resolve the package axon-configuration in package version 5.0.0-M2. Do I need some special repository to access the dependency?
