As mentioned in the announcement last year, the Spring Boot 1.x line has reached end of life. Spring Boot 1.5.22 which was released earlier today will be the last release in the 1.x. line.

There are detailed instructions on how to migrate from 1.x to 2.x in the migration guide.

Amongst many dependency upgrades, we migrated almost all of our Spring Data core project to use AssertJ assertions.
