Supported Versions

Spring Boot Support Policy

Spring Boot follows the Pivotal OSS support policy and supports major versions for 3 years from the release date and minor versions for 12 months from the release date.

In addition, upon release of a major or minor version of Spring Boot, the previous version will be supported for a 12 month period for critical bugs and security issues.

As much as possible, we recommend that all users migrate to the latest GA release.

Third-party dependencies

Spring Boot provides managed dependencies for many third-party libraries. These libraries are upgraded only at the patch level for any given Spring Boot release. Since we don’t upgrade minor or major versions of third-party libraries with our patch releases, you should check the EOL policies of projects that you depend on since you may find that you’re using a supported version of Spring Boot against an unsupported third-party library.
