*****
The screenshots of _Spring Initializer_ at https://starter.spring.io[start.spring.io] were taken when Spring Boot
`2.2.0.M6` was the current release. You should always choose to use the latest version of Spring Boot in a particular
release line, whether that is `2.1.x`, `2.2.x`, `2.3.x`, `3.x` or beyond.
SBDG minor versions will always match minor versions of Spring Boot. The SBDG major version will always be one version
behind. For example, SBDG 1.1 is based on Spring Boot 2.1. SBDG 1.2 is based on Spring Boot 2.2. And, SBDG 1.3 will
be based on Spring Boot 2.3. When Spring Boot reaches 3.0, SBDG will be at 2.0, and so on.
