The release will be included in the upcoming Spring Boot 3.4.0-M3 release.

Notable new features include:

• Message Container Factory Customizers (Spring Boot) - the upcoming Spring Boot 3.4.0-M3 has introduced a generic message container factory customizer (PulsarContainerFactoryCustomizer<T extends PulsarContainerFactory<?, ?>>) that can be used to further configure one or more of the auto-configured message listener container factories that back the @PulsarListener, @PulsarReader, and @ReactivePulsarListener (more details)
