The new Spring Boot version validation and upgrade support in Spring Tools

Engineering | Martin Lippert | January 17, 2023 | ...

New releases of Spring Boot are being released on a quite frequent schedule and updating your projects to newer versions of Spring Boot is something that many teams and organizations around the globe do as part of their daily work.

Sometimes those upgrades are simple and easy, for example for new patch releases that mostly include changes to fix bugs and address CVEs. In contrast to that, upgrading to a new minor or even a new major version requires more work, including code changes to adapt to new or changed APIs, updating configurations to not use deprecated keys anymore, and more.

Each new minor or major version of Spring therefore ships with a comprehensive guide and documentation about those changes and you can read and follow to upgrade your project. A good example of this is the new migration guide for upgrading your projects to Spring Boot 3

Hi, Spring fans! As I write this I'm on a plane winging my way to Helsinki, Finland. A new year and new journeys begin. It's going to be cold there. Wish me luck! Do you know what always warms me up? The thrill of learning. And this week's no different. This week we've got some good stuff line up so let's get right into it!

I'm starting to put out easy-to-remember visual cards introducing a blink-and-you-'ll-miss-it aspect of awesomeness in the Spring ecosystem as part of my "Spring Tips" (@springtipslive) series. So now you'll be notified of not only new videos but might get some useful…

Hi, Spring fans! Happy new year! It's 2023 already! Who saw that comin'? I sure didn't. This year promises to be more amazing than ever, and I can't wait to be a part of it.

This Week in Spring - Happy New Year 2023 edition - December 27th, 2022

Engineering | Josh Long | December 27, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's 27 December as I write this and - being honest - I couldn't be happier. It's raining outside. I'm in a warm cozy office. Good music is playing. People are asleep in my home. I can hear the raindrops and wind outside the window. I'm at peace as I code. And code I have. I've been updating my blog, and a half dozen little side projects, to the new Spring Boot 3. This has given me a chance to do a little, shall we say, Spring cleaning, and also update my Github Actions to the latest and greatest. I'm pleasantly surprised…
