What’s New in Spring Cloud 2022.0.0? Compatibility, OpenFeign Status, and Dependency Management

Support for Spring Framework 5.x and Spring Boot 2.x in the Spring Cloud 2021.0 release series will follow Spring Boot 2.7.x, and OSS support ends on 2023‑11‑08.

Spring Cloud 2022.0.0 is a major release built on Spring Framework 6.x and Spring Boot 3.x, compatible with Jakarta EE and requiring a minimum of Java 17.

Since Spring now provides its own implementation of the HTTP client interface, Spring Cloud OpenFeign reached feature‑complete status starting with 2022.0.0; the team will no longer add new features, focusing only on bug fixes, security patches, and small community PRs.
