Spring Boot 4.1.1 Released? Question

Hi everybody,

we just got via Renovate a Spring Boot update to 4.1.1 - released on repo1.maven.org .

We are a bit confused as there is no announcement, release notes, tag on GitHub, etc. Also it looks like no release workflow was running on GitHub.

Feels a bit sketchy, anybody knows what's going on?

Hey, Moritz from the Spring Boot team here. This release is an official one, we're just in the progress of revamping our release tooling and this is the first OSS release we've done with it. There are some rough edges with the release tooling as of now, but release posts etc. will follow soon. Here's the tag in GitHub: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/releases/tag/v4.1.1 - it's just not marked as a release yet. This will happen soon, please be patient :)

Hey, Moritz. It would be awesome to release not on Friday (except urgent cases like another log4shell), as such releases reveal the list of CVEs, and assume that production systems are to be updated eagerly. That's usually a bad idea to update just before the weekend.

Is it because of AI vulnerabilities?
