@ajarmoniuk, @sultan I see that you work one many issues - I want to plan next releases, so:

• please links issues, PR that should be included
• which should be postponed to next releases

Finally ping me when you will be ready.

When I see how many changes we have last time, I'm for frequent release, even once per month.
It will be easier to get more feedback from users.

Current PR not ready and can wait the next train. (#732 is linked with #730 which is not ready,)

Thank you for that release! It fixed also an allowMajorUpdates=false issue in update-parent goal, which resulted in an update of spring-boot-starter-parent from 2.7.5 to 3.0.0 instead of 2.7.6.

Unfortunately, spring-boot-dependencies-2.7.5 defines the version for this plugin to be 2.10.0. Therefore you have to specify explicitly the plugin version if you don't want to run into a major version update.
