How do I change the thymeleaf version?

Question

Im using spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf version 2.7.0. Im facing a problem in my code that im fairly certain is a bug with thymeleaf. How can I try out the latest release of thymeleaf? Ive tried the instructions on this link: https://www.thymeleaf.org/faq.html#use-snapshot But then Springboot fails to initialize.
