On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring Boot 3.0.0-RC2 has been released and is now available from https://repo.spring.io/milestone.

This release includes 116 enhancements, documentation improvements, dependency upgrades, and bug fixes.

This is the second release candidate and so doesn't include much in the way of new features. It does, however, bring a migration to Jakarta EE 10 APIs and a few changes to /actuator endpoints. Our final release is scheduled for November 24, 2022 so this is your last chance to provide feedback or raise issues for any problems that you encounter.

As always, the release notes provide more details and upgrade instructions.

Thanks to all those who have contributed with issue reports and pull requests. We're nearly there!!
