What's new​

This is a huge release, with 95 closed tickets, and a lot of code changed, be warned!

We have moved to Spring Boot 1.3.0.RC1​

  • A lot of code has been removed as it's now included in Spring Boot
  • We have followed the Spring Boot 1.3 migration guide, so if you are upgrading from an older JHipster version, it's a good idea to have a look at it, in order to understand what we did
  • Spring Boot devtools are now running by default in "dev" mode: you now have hot-reload of your application (without restarting the JVM). This is an incredible improvement, as you will quickly notice!

We have removed Java 7​

This is following last release's deprecation of Java 7.

This allowed us to remove Joda Time and use instead Java 8's new Date and Time API.

Social login​

A long-awaited addition is the possibility to use "social login", such as Google, Facebook or Twitter.

H2 disk-based support​

You can now use H2's disk-persistence mechanism. This is not yet fully working with Windows and with liquibase-hibernate, but this is a good step forward.

BDD support​

Initial support for Behavior-driven development using Cucumber is now available at application generation.

Closed tickets​

As always, you can check all the closed tickets here.

How to upgrade​

Update your version of JHipster with:

npm update -g generator-jhipster

And then you can update your project when you run again

yo jhipster

You can also update your entities by running again the entity sub-generator, for example if your entity is named Foo

yo jhipster:entity Foo
