Spring Boot 4.1.0-M4 available now

Releases | Andy Wilkinson | March 26, 2026 | 1 min read | ...

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring Boot 4.1.0-M4 has been released and is now available from Maven Central.

This release includes 30 enhancements, documentation improvements, dependency upgrades, and bug fixes. Primarily, it reverts Rabbit and AMQP changes made in M3 that will now be delivered in Spring Boot 4.2. If you are upgrading from M3, you may need to revert to the previous AMQP starter POMs. It also fixes a regression in application.properties/application.yaml processing.

Please see the release notes for more details and upgrade instructions.

Thanks to all those who have contributed with issue reports and pull requests.
