Micronaut Framework 3.9.0 Released!

The Micronaut team is excited to announce the release of Micronaut framework 3.9.0!

This release introduces new features to the Framework. Those features are detailed below.

@Introspected targetPackage member

With Micronaut Framework 3.9.0, you can customize the package to write introspection with the targetPackage member of the @Introspected annotation.

Security Breaking change – CORS Regex

Since Micronaut Framework 3.9.0, CORS micronaut.server.cors.*.configurations.allowed-origins configuration does not support regular expressions to prevent accidentally exposing your API. You can use micronaut.server.cors.*.configurations.allowed-origins-regex, if you wish to support a regular expression.

Annotation-based CORS configuration

You can enable Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration via the @CrossOrigin annotation. You can leverage the annotation in a Controller at a class or method level to enable access to a single endpoint of your application.

@Controller("/hello")
public class CorsController {
    @CrossOrigin("https://myui.com")
    @Get(produces = MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String cors() {
        return "Welcome to the worlds of CORS";
    }

    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    @Get("/nocors")
    public String nocorstoday() {
        return "No more CORS for you";
    }
}
