+
+It is my pleasure to announce the next official release of MapStruct Spring Extensions.
+What started out as a [StackOverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/58081224/3361467) turned into its
+own [(sub-)project](https://github.com/mapstruct/mapstruct-spring-extensions) within the MapStruct organization.
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+- The change introduced in the previous release which stored TypeDescriptors as fields in the generated Adapter class caused rare issues with certain generic type definitions. [Jesse Bonzo](https://github.com/jbonzohln) has thankfully provided a fix for this. 
+- The modified converter scan led to errors when used with multiple `SpringMapperConfig`s in the same project, because it would generate several configurations with identical bean names. Thanks to [simonovdenis](https://github.com/simonovdenis), we have now got an option to configure the name for the generated configuration as well.
+
+Including the annotations and extensions defined in this project will generate a class acting as bridge between
+MapStruct's conventions and Spring'
+s [ConversionService API](https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/reference/html/core.html#core-convert-ConversionService-API)
+that in turn can be added to any Mapper's `uses` attribute. See
+the [examples](https://github.com/mapstruct/mapstruct-spring-extensions/tree/master/examples) for details.
