Spring Cloud 2022.0.0 (codename Kilburn) Has Been Released

Releases | Ryan Baxter | December 16, 2022 | ...

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that the General Availability (RELEASE) of the Spring Cloud 2022.0 Release Train is available today. The release can be found in Maven Central. You can check out the 2022.0 release notes for more information.

Notable Changes in the 2022.0.0 Release Train

Spring Cloud 2022.0.0 is a major release that builds upon Spring Framework 6.x and Spring Boot 3.x. This includes compatibility with Jakarta EE and requires a Java 17 baseline. See here for the issues included in this release. Below are highlights from all of the 2022.0.0 milestone, release candidate and GA releases.

Spring Cloud OpenFeign feature complete announcement

Since Spring now provides its own interface HTTP clients solution, starting with 2022.0.0, we're going to treat Spring Cloud OpenFeign as feature complete. This means that the Spring Cloud team will no longer be adding new features to the module. We will still fix bugs and security issues, and we will also consider and review small pull requests from the community.
