0.13.15
Fixes with compatibility implications
- sbt 0.13.15 removes the Maven version range when possible. See below.
Improvements
- Adds preliminary compatibility with JDK 9. Using this requires 0.13.15+ launcher. #2951/143 by @retronym
- Adds "local-preloaded" repository for offline installation. See below.
- Notifies and enables users to stay in sbt's shell on the warm JVM by hitting
[ENTER]
while sbt is running. #2987/#2996 by @dwijnand - Adds an
Append
instance to supportsourceGenerators += Def.task { ... }
, instead of needing.taskValue
. #2943 by @eed3si9n - Writes out the sbt.version in
project/build.properties
if it is missing. #754/#3025 by @dwijnand - XML generated by JUnitXmlTestsListener now correctly flags ignored, skipped and pending tests. #2198/#2854 by @ashleymercer
- When sbt detects that the project is compiled with dotty, it now automatically
setsscalaCompilerBridgeSource
correctly, this reduces the boilerplate needed
to make a dotty project. Note that dotty support in sbt is still considered
experimental and not officially supported, see dotty.epfl.ch for
more information. #2902 by @smarter - Updates sbt new's reference implementation to Giter8 0.7.2.
- ScriptedPlugin: Add the ability to paginate scripted tests.
It is now possible to run a subset of scripted tests in a directory at once,
for example:Will create three pages and run page 1. This is especially useful when runningscripted source-dependencies/*1of3
scripted tests on a CI, to benefit from the available parallelism. 3013 by @smarter

- Fixes regressions in sbt 0.13.11 - 0.13.13 that processed build-level keys incorrectly. #2851/#2460 by @eed3si9n
- Fixes a regression in sbt 0.13.12 that was misfiring Scala version enforcement when configuration does not extend

Maven version range improvement
Previously, when the dependency resolver (Ivy) encountered a Maven version range such as [1.3.0,)
it would go out to the Internet to find the latest version.
This would result to a surprising behavior where the eventual version keeps changing over time
even when there's a version of the library that satisfies the range condition.
Starting sbt 0.13.15, some Maven version ranges would be replaced with its lower bound
so that when a satisfactory version is found in the dependency graph it will be used.
You can disable this behavior using the JVM flag -Dsbt.modversionrange=false
.
Offline installation
sbt 0.13.15 adds two new repositories called "local-preloaded-ivy"
and "local-preloaded" that point to ~/.sbt/preloaded/
.
The purpose for the repositories is to preload them with
sbt artifacts so the installation of sbt will not require access to the Internet.
This also improves the startup time of sbt when you first run it
since the resolution happens off of a local-preloaded repository.
Notes
No changes should be necessary to your project definition and all plugins published for sbt 0.13.{x|x<14} should still work.
See Migrating from sbt 0.12.x for details on the old operator deprecation.
