Spring Cloud Commons

• The bootstrap phase is no longer enabled by default. If your project requires it, it can be re-enabled by properties or by a new starter. To re-enable by properties set spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true or spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true. These need to be set as an environment variable, java system property or a command line argument. The other option is to include the new spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap. Bootstrap is mostly used to import configuration from remote sources. To do this without boostrap see the new features in Config, Consul, Vault and Zookeeper.

• Added a mechanism to avoid retrying on the same instance
