Youtube Channel

Release ten videos of less than 15m for the YouTube channel covering features of the framework. We have to improve our presence on YouTube. Many people only learn with video nowadays.

Guides

Release 4 Guides comparing Micronaut Framework to Spring Boot. It is vital to show how easy it is to move from Spring Boot to Micronaut Framework.

Hi i have 3 very closely related bugs that are quite fundamental to @Factory, AOP and introspection: #10836, #10834 and #10833

Since this is a issue of core and (especially #10836) cause "invisible" side effects (validations dont apply to @Factory generated bean classes). So its possible that more people are affected without knowing it, since it is "only" a "you do not get Validation exceptions"
