Spring Framework 7.0.3 Available Now

Releases | Brian Clozel | January 15, 2026 | 1 min read | ...

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring Framework 7.0.3 is available now.

Spring Framework 7.0.3 ships with 65 fixes and documentation improvements. This version will be shipped next week with Spring Boot 4.0.2.

This release brings a noteworthy change - Spring Framework will now lazily pause an unused test ApplicationContext the 1st time a different context is used. You can override this behavior by setting the spring.test.context.cache.pause property to ALWAYS, or disable pausing altogether by setting that to NEVER. Check out the release notes and reference documentation to learn more about test context pausing.
