Spring Boot merged improvements to Nullaway 0.13.8 that correctly handle Map#remove nullability, while Spring Framework shipped targeted fixes for logging clarity and documentation.

Spring Boot landed a critical nullability adaptation [1] that polishes how the framework handles @Nullable annotations when calling Map#remove, leveraging Nullaway 0.13.8's improved type checking [2]. This keeps the codebase safer from null pointer surprises. Separately, Boot fixed a long-standing logging gap where PropertiesLauncher wasn't displaying nested archive paths on first startup [3], making deployment debugging less painful [4]. Over on Spring Framework, the team corrected a package declaration issue in HandlerMethodValidationExceptionTests [5] and scrubbed Javadoc in ProtobufDecoder to remove redundant language that was rendering poorly in published API docs [6]. These are polish commits, not blockers, but they improve the developer experience across both pillars.
