We want to get these two most popular AsyncAPI tools stable and have the first major releases you can fully depend on. It also means we already started and will continue introducing **breaking changes** in minor releases. On a pull request we will always describe what are the migration steps you need to take to upgrade. In case you want to help us out to go faster here, you are more than welcome. Come and join us -> [https://www.asyncapi.com/slack-invite/](https://www.asyncapi.com/slack-invite/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=text&utm_campaign=newsletter-23-04-2020) ### New features - [Java Spring Template 0.4.0](https://github.com/asyncapi/java-spring-template/releases/tag/v0.4.0) - This template was finally upgraded to support AsyncAPI 2.0. It was also enhanced to support Apache Kafka. All of it thanks to our amazing contributors! - [Markdown Template 0.4.0](https://github.com/asyncapi/markdown-template/releases/tag/v0.4.0) - We added missing support for Operation object description and summary - [HTML Template 0.4.0](https://github.com/asyncapi/html-template/releases/tag/v0.4.0) - We added full support for Tags object, including externalDocs object - [Parser JS - breaking change](https://github.com/asyncapi/parser-js) - We improved developer experience by enriching the information about the errors returned by the parser, so it is easier to identify what is wrong. This was a breaking change and for more details read the description of this pull request. - [Generator - breaking change](https://github.com/asyncapi/generator) - We added support for new parser and as a result new parserOption to generateFromString function. Read this pull request to understand how to migrate. In case you use the generator as a library, this feature is interesting for you as it let’s you decide where templates that you are using are installed. ![](https://mcusercontent.com/3cdae6aed726d2e7490aec739/images/38569ecf-d762-4e43-93a2-af41c149c080.png) ## **AsyncAPI Special Interest Group (SIG) open meeting** ### Last Meeting The last SIG meeting took place on the **14th of April**. Except for the summary of the prep work for the conference we talked about Java code generator templates. We clarified that having two templates for the same language makes total sense. [Java Spring Cloud Stream Template](https://github.com/asyncapi/java-spring-cloud-stream-template) and [Java Spring Template](https://github.com/asyncapi/java-spring-template) are fundamentally different but have common part -> models. We clarified that having a [generic solution for types generation](https://github.com/asyncapi/generator/issues/159) is on our roadmap for this year.
