On behalf of the team and everyone that contributed, I am pleased to announce that the second milestone of Spring Boot 2.4 has been released and is available from our milestone repository. This release closes just over 250 issues and pull requests.
If you’re trying this release with an existing Spring Boot 2.3 project, please note the slight change in the format of the version. 2.4.0-M2 is using our new versioning scheme.
Highlights of this second milestone include:
