In the latest episode of the Spring Office Hours podcast, we celebrate the launch of Spring Boot 3.4.0, showcasing its exciting new features and inviting the community to engage with early releases to help identify bugs. We stress how crucial it is for developers to upgrade to the latest versions, as it not only gives them a competitive edge but also helps companies attract top talent. Among the standout features of 3.4.0 are enhanced structured logging, improved HTTP client customization, more detailed actuator controls, and a built-in SBOM endpoint for better security. We also highlight the invaluable contributions from the community, noting that the Spring team remains relatively small, which underscores the importance of community feedback and diverse contributions beyond just code.
