This upgrade from 3.0.12 to 3.5.10 spans multiple significant releases (3.1 through 3.5) and introduces several breaking changes that require developer action.

Highlights:

• Build Configuration: Projects must now be compiled with the -parameters javac flag, as Spring Framework no longer deduces parameter names from bytecode. [3]
• Dependency & Configuration Changes: The upgrade includes major version bumps for dependencies like Flyway 10 and Prometheus Client 1.x, which require adding new modules or migrating metric names. [5] Graceful shutdown is now enabled by default, which can be reverted by setting server.shutdown to immediate. [12]
• Removed APIs: Deprecated classes and methods from versions 3.0, 3.2, and 3.3 have been removed. [3, 12, 15]

Source: Spring Boot Release Notes
Recommendation: Carefully review the migration guides for each minor version from 3.1 to 3.5 before merging. Pay close attention to build configurations, dependency updates for libraries like Flyway, and changes in default behavior like graceful shutdown.
