 - Automatic indentation makes the configuration more readable.
 - The is no need to chain configuration options using `.and()`
 - The Spring Security DSL has a similar configuration style to other Spring DSLs such as Spring Integration and Spring Cloud Gateway.

+== Use `.with()` instead of `.apply()` for Custom DSLs
+
+In versions prior to 6.2, if you had a xref:servlet/configuration/java.adoc#jc-custom-dsls[custom DSL], you would apply it to the `HttpSecurity` using the `HttpSecurity#apply(...)` method.
+However, starting from version 6.2, this method is deprecated and will be removed in 7.0 because it will no longer be possible to chain configurations using `.and()` once `.and()` is removed (see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues/13067).
+Instead, it is recommended to use the new `.with(...)` method.
+For more information about how to use `.with(...)` please refer to the xref:servlet/configuration/java.adoc#jc-custom-dsls[Custom DSLs section].
