As per the recent Spring Boot documentation in 2022, Spring Boot releases a new major or minor version every six months in May and November. Note that java also releases every six months but in March and September.
Spring Boot major versions will be supported for at least 3 years from the release date. Minor versions will be supported for 12 months. Commercial support from VMware provides an extended support period.
I have provided below a list of previous and future Spring Boot release versions from the spring boot website (link provided in references).
