Spring Boot 2.1 End‑of‑Life: Upgrade to 2.2 Before November 2020
Spring Boot 2.1 will stop receiving updates after November 1 2020, with only critical bug and security fixes provided beforehand, so users should smoothly upgrade to the actively maintained 2.2 release which introduced in October 2019 and remains fully supported.
With the latest release of Spring Boot 2.2, the Spring team announced that maintenance for Spring Boot 2.1 will end on
2020-11-01, after which no further updates will be provided.
Before that date, version 2.1 only receives critical bug‑fix and security releases and will not receive underlying dependency upgrades. All users are encouraged to upgrade to Spring Boot 2.2 as soon as possible.
Note: upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 is almost seamless and does not introduce API incompatibilities.
