Based on the release notes it is mentioned that the default mode for JPA repositories is is set to "deferred"

but in contradiction to the documented behaviour I see in the start log of our spring boot application: (Running on Spring Boot Version 2.3.2.RELEASE

INFO  o.s.d.r.c.RepositoryConfigurationDelegate - Bootstrapping Spring Data JPA repositories in DEFAULT mode.

I have not yet set the spring.data.jpa.repositories.bootstrap-mode=default.

This means from my point of view that the behaviour has not been changed?

Thanks for the report, but I can't reproduce the behaviour that you have described. The bootstrap mode is DEFFERED when I start a minimal application generated by start.spring.io:
