v1.1.3

Support for LTS Scala version aliases

It is now possible to use lts and 3.lts as Scala version aliases in Scala CLI.
They refer to the latest LTS version of Scala (the 3.3.x line at the time of this release).

scala-cli run -S lts --with-compiler -e 'println(dotty.tools.dotc.config.Properties.simpleVersionString)'
# Compiling project (Scala 3.3.1, JVM (17))
# Compiled project (Scala 3.3.1, JVM (17))
# 3.3.1

Using the 2.lts, 2.13.lts & 2.12.lts aliases returns a meaningful error, too.

scala-cli run -S 2.lts -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionString)'                                 
# [error]  Invalid Scala version: 2.lts. There is no official LTS version for Scala 2.
# You can only choose one of the 3.x, 2.13.x, and 2.12.x. versions.
# The latest supported stable versions are 2.12.18, 2.13.12, 3.3.1.
# In addition, you can request compilation with the last nightly versions of Scala,
# by passing the 2.nightly, 2.12.nightly, 2.13.nightly, or 3.nightly arguments.
# Specific Scala 2 or Scala 3 nightly versions are also accepted.
# You can also request the latest Scala 3 LTS by passing lts or 3.lts.

--semanticdb-targetroot and --semanticdb-sourceroot options

It is now possible to set the SemanticDB target root and source root directories with unified syntax, independent of the target Scala and/or Java versions.

scala-cli compile src/semanticdb-example.sc --semanticdb-targetroot ./targetRootDir --semanticdb-sourceroot .
