   [#47135](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/47135).
 
+## 6.3.0 (2026-04-29)
+- This release is compatible with Spring Boot 3.5.0-3.5.14. (Note: 3.5.x (x>14) should be supported, but they aren't tested with this release.)
+- This release is compatible with Spring Cloud 2025.0.0-2025.0.2. (Note: 2025.0.x (x>2) should be supported, but they aren't tested with this release.)
+
+### Spring Cloud Azure Dependencies (BOM)
+
+#### Dependency Updates
+- Upgrade `azure-sdk-bom` to 1.3.6.
+
+### Spring Cloud Azure Autoconfigure
+
+#### Bugs Fixed
+
+- Fixed `KeyVaultJcaProvider` being registered as the highest-priority JCA security provider, which overrides standard JCA services (`KeyManagerFactory.SunX509`, `Signature` algorithms) and breaks mTLS with standard keystores (JKS, PKCS12). The provider is now added at the end of the provider list, allowing JCA's delayed provider selection to route `KeyVaultPrivateKey` signing operations to the KeyVault implementations without interfering with standard SSL/TLS operations. [#48183](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/48183)
+
+### Spring Cloud Azure Appconfiguration Config
+This section includes changes in `spring-cloud-azure-appconfiguration-config` module.
+
+#### Features Added
+
+- Added support for filtering configuration settings and feature flags by tags. Tags can be configured via `spring.cloud.azure.appconfiguration.stores[0].selects[0].tags-filter` for key-value settings and `spring.cloud.azure.appconfiguration.stores[0].feature-flags.selects[0].tags-filter` for feature flags. The value is a list of `tag=value` pairs (e.g., `["env=prod", "team=backend"]`) combined with AND logic. [#47985](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/47985)
+- Added `startup-timeout` configuration option that enables automatic retry with backoff when transient failures occur during application startup. The provider will continue retrying until the timeout expires (default: 100 seconds). [#47857](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/47857).
+
+#### Bugs Fixed
+
+- Fixes a bug where ';' was ignored in JSON content type checking. [#48448](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/48448)
+- Fixed an issue where feature flag–based refresh did not work when load balancing was enabled with a single configuration store. Feature flag refresh now uses the same load-balanced client selection as configuration refresh, including the single-store scenario. [#48121](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/48121)
+- Fixed YAML configuration binding for `label-filter` by adding standard no-arg getter methods to `AppConfigurationKeyValueSelector` and `FeatureFlagKeyValueSelector`, enabling proper type resolution by Spring Boot's `@ConfigurationProperties` binder. [#47985](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/47985)
+- Fixed bug where connection string validation occurred even when `spring.cloud.azure.appconfiguration.enabled` is `false`. [#47587](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/47587)
+
+### Spring Messaging Azure Service Bus
+
+This section includes changes in `spring-messaging-azure-servicebus` module.
+
+#### Bugs Fixed
+
+- Fixed `DefaultServiceBusNamespaceProcessorFactory` not removing closed/disposed `ServiceBusProcessorClient` instances from its internal cache, causing subsequent `createProcessor()` calls to return stale, non-functional processors. [#48030](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/48030)
+
+### Azure Spring Data Cosmos
+This section includes changes in `azure-spring-data-cosmos` module.
+Please refer to [azure-spring-data-cosmos/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/main/sdk/spring/azure-spring-data-cosmos/CHANGELOG.md#630-2026-04-29) for more details.
