== NOTICE
[[notice-2023-january]]
*2023-January-17*:
At the end of 2022, VMware https://tanzu.vmware.com/content/blog/spring-for-vmware-gemfire-is-now-available[announced]
the general availability of the Spring for VMware GemFire portfolio of projects.
While these Spring based projects for VMware GemFire are open source and a succession to the Spring for Apache Geode
projects, they are not a replacement. VMware GemFire forked from the Apache Geode project and is not open source.
Additionally, newer Apache Geode and VMware GemFire clients are not backwards compatible with older Apache Geode
and VMware GemFire servers. You can begin the transition by starting https://docs.vmware.com/en/Spring-Boot-for-VMware-GemFire/index.html[here].
Alternatively, the Spring portfolio provides first-class https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/io.html#io.caching.provider[integration]
with other comparable caching providers. Also, see https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/reference/html/integration.html#cache-store-configuration[here]
and https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/reference/html/integration.html#cache-plug[here].
Finally, keep in mind, the Spring for Apache Geode projects will still be maintained until OSS and commercial support
ends. Maintenance will only include CVE and critical fixes. No new features or major enhancements will be made.
The Spring Boot for Apache Geode support timelines can be viewed https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#support[here].
Also see the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot-data-geode/wiki/Spring-Boot-for-Apache-Geode-and-VMware-Tanzu-GemFire-Version-Compatibility-Matrix[Version Compatibility Matrix]
for up-to-date dependency and version details.
