v0.115.0

About time we have the first release of 2024!

This one has a good set of fixes and a few cleanup fixes around Aliases, Catalogs and app installs.

First, a (small) breaking change:

Aliases now get arguments appended instead of overwritten.
i.e. before you made an alias like:

jbang alias add 
  --name=color_sqlline \
  --deps com.oracle.database.jdbc:ojdbc8:23.3.0.23.09,com.h2database:h2:2.0.204 \
  sqlline:sqlline:1.12.0 --color=true

and call it jbang color_sqlline --nullValue='***' the --color=true would not apply.
That is now the case.

We should have done that from the beginning. It is more natural. Thank you to @robin-a-meade for reminding us!

Second, app installs now can specify build arguments to make it possible to have different commands with different build input.
For example specify system properties to change a version for a dependency.

Finally, catalogs now support import, i.e. jbang catalog add --import jbanghub will import all the alias, catalogs, templates etc. in the jbanghub catalog making it directly available without having to add @jbanghub to the name.

To do this some of the list commands and how catalog names are treated have been unified so things looks the same and can be accessed consistently.

v0.114.0

20% Faster

Moved artifact resolution to use MIMA via @cstamas's great work. This makes jbang use the newer version of Maven's artifactresolver.

The first obvious benefit is that JBang now is able to utilize the performance improvements and use better http client implementations bringing about ~20% faster downloads.

When next version of Maven resolver becomes available that number should increase even more significantly when it starts utilising http2.

We've tested as much as we could - all existing tests passes but it is a change of dependency resolution thus if you have some project that changes behavior because of this behavior do please open an issue.

Changelog

v0.113.0

Changelog

Added a magic %{deps:..} expansion on command line that will resolve dependencies in that expression and replace it with a classpath.

Lets you do things like:
jbang sqlline@maxandersen -cp %{deps:org.hsqldb:hsqldb:RELEASE} other args

removing need to manually deal with absolute paths to .jar files.

v0.110.0

Changelog

JBang will now use "central" rather than "mavencentral" as its id for fetching dependencies allowing for better sharing of downloads between Maven and JBang based builds. Also means you can do //REPOS central as a shorthand. Should not break users but is a behavior change thus released as minor rather than a patch.

Fixed a regression where maven artifacts with capital letters failed to download.

v0.109.0

Changelog

Fixes and a minor and major new feature.

Scripts and jars as dependencies

//DEPS aloca.jar or //DEPS myscript.java or even //DEPS https://my.site/some/script.java is now allowed.

Allowing you to use scripts (or jars) as dependencies is different from using //SOURCES in the sense that the //DEPS gets built in isolation and is a true dependency rather than built inside the project. Allows for more decoupled and interesting composability of your jbang scripts and applications. Mainly; allow you to build and publish a java library without an intermediate publishing step.

Use it responsibly :)

Debug customization

I (re)learned from @danberindei that IDE's can work as clients to allow the java app to connect to the debugger rather than the other way around. Quite useful.

Thus jbang now allows customizing how debug is configured.

You can still just do jbang --debug myapp.java but you can now also pass in a comma separated list to configure the JDPA connection string. i.e.jbang --debug=server=n myapp.java to have it be a client rather than a server. You can set any other JDPA flag this way.

Fixes

Docker publish had been failing the last few releases. Finally figured out the issue. Should now work. Crossing fingers.
Multi-user access were causing issues for caching in docker containers; that should be fixed too now.

🚀 Features

• 1bfa853 feat: Added support for script dependencies (#1641)
• d87feaa feat: --debug now allow multiple key/values. --debug=server=n,suspend=y (#1642)

🐛 Fixes

• 61bdc6a fix: #1624 docker publish fail
• d81bed7 fix: swallow any exceptions when setting file modified timestamp (#1639)

🧰 Tasks

• c379bd3 chore: add justfile for those with bad memory

v0.108.0

Changelog

Recently support for main methods without a surrounding class was merged into OpenJDK main line.
This release now supports that feature.

At time of writing the default Termurin JDK builds does not have the latest build thus
for now you will have to manually build the JDK and set that up in your path.

Also since it is a Java preview feature you will need to use --enable-preview or put //PREVIEW in the file.

That means the smallest self-contained Java 21 example looks as follows:

//PREVIEW
//JAVA 21+

void main() {
    System.out.println("Hello World");
}

And can now be run using jbang main.java if you have Java 21 latest nightly build installed.

If you prefer

🚀 Features

• 9c2255b feat: JEP 445: Unnamed Classes and Instance Main Methods (#1633)

🐛 Fixes

• ac432ec fix: detect version from JAVA_RUNTIME_VERSION and don't use JAVA_VERS… (#1632)

---

• 62d3d7b [minor] java 21 JEP445 support
