📣 Play 2.8.7 Released

The Play Team is happy to announce the releases of Play 2.8.7 and Play 2.7.9.

As we found a regression just after building the 2.8.6 and 2.7.8 releases, we followed up on those without announcing them.

📗 What is new?

The following are the relevant changes of this bugfix release:

• Let user overwrite limit memory size on form binding #10543
• The Play Runner now works on Mac OS Big Sur #10372
• We publish a Maven BOM pom.xml for Play 2.8 #10549

For more details see the full list of changes and the 2.8.6 and 2.8.7 milestones.

Migration

To make the form binding size limit configurable, some sources may need adaptation to make the FormBinding implicits available (see Parser maxMemoryBuffer limits).
