Hello, I would like to ask you a question about spring-boot and spring framework version updates. Can I expect it in the near future, that this starter will be updated to depend on spring framework 5.3.x instead of 5.2.x? So, basically a spring-boot upgrade to 2.4.0? I really want to use spring-boot 2.4.0 which already relies on springframework 5.3, but your starter is so convenient that I don't want to throw it away in the same time. However, during spring-boot 2.4 startup the SpringApplication.run() already calls such methods that only exist in spring-context 5.3.1

If not, what do you thing? Can I simply use it with spring-context:5.3.1 with explicitly forcing maven to pull that, instead of 5.2.10-RELEASE?

Updating to 2.4/5.3 is something I am planning to do. I want to do it alongside a couple of other things that are not quite ready yet, so it'll be perhaps a week or so before I can release it.

You might be able to force maven to pull in 2.4/5.3 explicitly with an appropriate <dependencyManagement> block in pom.xml to override the nested version but it's not something I've tried with this package.

Okey, really cool! Thank you for your almost instant response!

I'll be waiting for this upgrade. Have a nice day!
