Spring Boot 3.5.0 M1 Release Notes

Spring Boot 3.5.0-M1 Release Notes

Upgrading from Spring Boot 3.4

spring-boot-parent

The spring-boot-parent module is no longer published. It provides dependency management for internal dependencies used, for example, in Spring Boot’s own tests. If you were using spring-boot-parent, replace it with dependency management of your own that meets your application’s needs.

Using `.enabled` and Other Boolean Configuration Properties

Supported values for .enabled properties have been tightened with this release and are now more consistent. Values must now be either true or false.

Previous versions of Spring Boot would sometimes use conditions that considered any value other than false as enabled.

Validation of profile naming

Rules for profile naming have been tightened with this release and are now more consistent. Profiles can now only contain - (dash), _ (underscore), letters and digits. Additionally, Profiles are not allowed to start or end with - or _.

Minimum Requirements Changes

None.

New and Noteworthy

Actuator’s process info contributor now contains virtual thread information when running on JDK 24 or later.

Spring Boot now installs a Logback OnErrorConsoleStatusListener to print error messages during Logback initialization to the console.
The 'error' entry returned from ErrorAttributes now wraps all MessageSourceResolvable instances to ensure safe JSON serialization.
