Q:

Spring Boot compatibility with Spring Cloud

I have a Spring Cloud config server running under release train Dalston.SR4.  It has been in production for a few years serving config to some older Spring Boot apps.  Today I'm trying to build a new Spring Boot 2.3.0 app.  When my app starts up and tries to fetch its configuration from the config server, the config server just returns a 406 Not Acceptable.  I can successfully browse to the config URL my app is trying to fetch from and see the config in my browser, so I'm just wondering if this is a case of version compatibility?

A:

Yes, there is!

Greenwich builds and works with Spring Boot 2.1.x, and is not expected to work with Spring Boot 1.5.x.
Note: The Dalston release train will reach end-of-life in December 2018. Edgware will follow the end-of-life cycle of Spring Boot 1.5.x.
The Dalston and Edgware release trains build on Spring Boot 1.5.x, and are not expected to work with Spring Boot 2.0.x.
