+This release adds support for Jakarta EE 11 and SpringBoot 4.0, including MicroProfile 7 compatibility with Jakarta EE 11 and support for deploying SpringBoot 4.x applications in both JAR and WAR formats.


Need to add the security enabledCiphers changes as documented in this issue.

Spring Boot 4 updates looks good. Thanks, Navaneeth! Just a small change for Spring Boot 1.5 should be Spring Boot 1.5.x

+== SpringBoot 4.0
+Open Liberty currently supports running SpringBoot 1.5, 2.x, and 3.x applications. With the introduction of the new `springBoot-4.0` feature, users can now deploy SpringBoot 4.x applications. While Liberty has consistently supported SpringBoot applications packaged as `WAR` files, this enhancement extends support to both `JAR` and `WAR` formats for SpringBoot 4.x applications.

Here you just removed the https://openliberty-io In the past `{url-prefix} was used though like mentioned earlier.

+* Enterprise Beans 4.0 is unchanged, but the optional EJB 2.x function is no longer enabled when the enterpriseBeans-4.0 feature is configured with other Jakarta EE 11 features. Users who want to use EJB 2.x APIs must also add the enterpriseBeansHome-4.0 feature.


This is meant to be an * as a footnote to Unchanged for Enterprise Beans 4.0 and not just a single bulleted list. That is why I had the * escaped with \ in the original issue. If you want to do it different that is fine, but need to not be a bullet then and have it be an asterisk or do something different and if not using an asterisk, update the Unchanged that has the asterisk in the table.

client.xml is like server.xml. It isn't in the application, so having that extra word is confusing.

Will need to update the link to Emily's standalone blog post. The PR is to draft right now and will need to get it to staging in order to reference it from this blog post.

We can always not have this link in the release blog post initially and add it to the post once Emily's blog post is published.

I ve removed Emily's blog info for now

Here and in the next table the See previous table was a link back to the previous table in the EE 10 one. Just need an anchor defined before the Core and Web Profile tables to link back to.
