Confusing version compatibility indications for Spring Boot starters

[jhyot]

The information regarding version compatibility between Azure Spring Boot Starter and Spring Boot is somewhat confusing and inconsistent.

On the main readme it says:

This repository supports Spring Boot 2.2.x, 2.3.x and 2.4.x.

But Spring Boot 2.5 is already out, no mention of it here. Also no mention of it in the version matrix further down in the same readme.
In that version matrix, Starter 3.9.0 is indicated for Spring Boot 2.4.x, except for azure-spring-boot-starter-keyvault-certificates, where it is 3.2.0.

But then, on the wiki page, Spring Boot 2.5 is explicitly mentioned as supported, and for Spring Boot 2.4 only Starters up to 3.5 seem to be supported, and 3.6+ for Spring Boot 2.5.

azure-spring-boot-starter-keyvault-certificates 3.2.0 doesn't seem to fit at all into the matrix on the wiki page.

Now for my specific question: Which version of azure-spring-boot-starter-keyvault-secrets should I use with Spring Boot 2.4?

@jhyot It looks like

com.azure.spring azure-spring-boot-starter-keyvault-secrets 3.5.0

Is the latest release that was build with Spring Boot 2.4.

Hi @jhyot, thanks for pointing out that our Azure Spring documentation here could be more clear. Someone from the azure-spring team will follow up with you shortly. /cc @stliu
