I'm trying to understand Spring boot release model. I noticed that spring boot version 2.3.0.RELEASE was built on spring-context 5.2.6.RELEASE, whereas spring boot version 2.2.13.RELEASE (an earlier version) was build on spring-context 5.2.12.RELEASE (which is a later version of spring-context). What is the possible reason of this pattern? Thanks

  • Spring Boot 2.3.0 released on May 15th 2020
  • Spring Boot 2.2.13 released on January 14th 2021

Almost a year apart, the fact that Spring Boot 2.3.x is released doesn't mean support on 2.2.x is dropped.

If you want to compare use 2.3.8 which was released at the same date as an updated version. Around the same time 2.4.2 was released.

So you see at a certain time multiple versions are supported, it isn't if version x.0 is out all versions are suddently not maintained anymore.
