Spring Cloud Tencent 1.7 Released: New Features, Version Guide, and Enhanced Service Governance

Version List

1.7.1-Hoxton.SR12

1.7.0-2020.0.5

1.7.0-2021.0.3

Version Number Explanation

Spring Cloud Tencent version numbers consist of two parts: the first part is the Tencent-specific iteration (major.minor.patch), and the second part indicates the Spring Cloud release it implements (e.g., 1.7.0-2021.0.3 means Tencent version 1.7.0 built on Spring Cloud 2021.0.3). Major versions are incompatible, minor versions add new features, and patch versions fix bugs, which may differ across Spring Cloud releases.

For practical use, include the latest Tencent version that matches the Spring Cloud version you depend on.
