Release Notes

spring-projects/spring-boot (org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web)

v4.1.1

⚠️ Attention Required

  • Spring Boot's Gradle plugin no longer automatically configures gRPC when the Protobuf plugin is applied. This behavior caused problems for those using Protobuf without gRPC. To opt in to the configuration of gRPC, configure the protobuf extension with the grpc plugin using an empty block. The Spring Boot Gradle plugin will then automatically configure the use of protoc-gen-grpc-java as before. #​50822

  • Map properties bound from empty strings fail with ConverterNotFoundException #​50773
  • Protobuf Common Protos should not be a managed dependency #​50772
  • An application that depends on spring-boot-security-oauth2-resource-server may fail to start with a ClassNotFoundException when Reactor is on the classpath but WebFlux is not #​50764
  • W3CHeaderParser's decoding is not compliant with RFC 3986 #​50650
