 === Requirements
-Spring Boot supports Kotlin 1.3.x.
+Spring Boot requires at least Kotlin 1.3.x and manages a suitable Kotlin version via dependency management.
 To use Kotlin, `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib` and `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect` must be present on the classpath.
 The `kotlin-stdlib` variants `kotlin-stdlib-jdk7` and `kotlin-stdlib-jdk8` can also be used.
