On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring gRPC 0.11.0 has been released and is now available from Maven Central. We are still planning to have a 1.0.0 release around the same time as Spring Boot 4.0.0.

The main changes in this release are bug fixes for 0.10.0. There is a small API change in the custom security adapter that extracts authentication data from an incoming request on the server. All users should upgrade as soon as possible.

It also includes @EnableGlobalMethodSecurity and other related configuration components.

The numerous benefits to this evolution are detailed on Spring Security's reference guide. It also includes a number of migration hints…
