On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that the Milestone 5 (M5) of the Spring Cloud 2022.0.0 Release Train is available today. The release can be found in Spring Milestone repository. You can check out the 2022.0.0 release notes for more information.

Notable Changes in the 2022.00-M5 Release Train

Spring Cloud Netflix

• Updated to Eureka 2.0.0-rc.3. Eureka 2.0.0 is a new branch of Eureka unrelated to the old 2.x-archive experiment from 7 years ago. The new 2.x branch is for compatibility with JakartaEE. This allows Spring Cloud Netflix to be compatible with Spring Framework 6.0 and Spring Boot 3.0. This is the first milestone that Spring Cloud Netflix has participated in the 2022.0 release train.
