Important Changes in 2022.0.4 Release Train

This version is built on Spring Boot 3.0.9.

Spring Cloud CLI

Maintenance discontinued

Spring Cloud Cloudfoundry

Maintenance discontinued

Spring Cloud Sleuth

Maintenance discontinued. Core functionality moved to the Micrometer Tracing project; related tools are now part of Micrometer and individual projects.

Spring Cloud Commons

Added retry‑aware load‑balancing support for ServiceInstanceListSupplier delegate (1221).

Removed LoadBalancer auto‑configuration due to AsyncRestTemplate removal in Spring Framework 6.

Migrated token relay to the new Spring Security OAuth2.

spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true is no longer enabled; use spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true instead.

Spring Cloud OpenFeign

LoadBalancer ResponseData now uses org.springframework.http.HttpStatusCode.

OAuth2 support moved to Spring Security OAuth2 client. feign.autoconfiguration.jackson.enabled defaults to true.

decode404 property renamed to dismiss404 to align with upstream Feign changes.

Support for Apache HttpClient 4 removed; Apache HttpClient 5 is recommended.

Property prefix spring.cloud.openfeign.metrics changed to spring.cloud.openfeign.micrometer.

Property prefix for Spring Cloud OpenFeign changed from feign to spring.cloud.openfeign.

Spring Cloud Netflix

Unnecessary @EnableEurekaClient annotation removed.

Deprecated RestTemplateDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs constructor removed.

Default @FeignClient attribute resolution switched; to revert to lazy resolution set spring.cloud.openfeign.lazy-attributes-resolution=true.
