With the recent release of Spring Boot 2.2, we'd like to announce that maintenance for Spring Boot 2.1 will end on November 1st 2020.

We'll keep publishing the occasional maintenance release up until that point, but we recommend that all users consider upgrading to Spring Boot 2.2 as soon as possible. Upgrading to Spring Boot 2.2 from 2.1 should not be too difficult, and upgrade instructions are available on the WIKI.

In order to help track the state of supported releases we've also introduced a new "supported versions" WIKI page. You can see at a glance which Spring Boot versions are…

The release 2.3.0 delivers a lot of enhancements and generic compatibility changes for Spring Boot 2.2.x and Spring Cloud Hoxton.

Continuous Deployment For Tasks

As task applications evolve faster to keep up with business needs, the ability for new versions to be consumed via Data Flow in an automated way is needed. While Data Flow has supported the ability to register multiple versions of a task application in previous iterations, the ability to run them in a practical way by re-hydrating command line arguments, deployment properties, and application properties used in previous executions has…

Dear Spring community,

With Spring Framework 5.2.2 and 5.1.12 being available now, let me take the opportunity to provide an update on the maintenance roadmap in 2020.

Most importantly, Spring Framework 4.3.x and therefore Spring Framework 4 overall will reach its end-of-life next year: Our EOL cut-off is December 31st, 2020, with no further support on 4.3.x beyond that point. At the same time, we are also phasing out 5.0.x and 5.1.x for good.

As for planned releases, first up is a full round in mid January: with 5.2.3 and 5.1.13 accompanied by 5.0.16 and 4.3.26. The latter are the last…
