- Fixes handling of `ThisProject`. [#3609][3609] by [@dwijnand][@dwijnand]
- Escapes imports from sbt files, so if user creates a backquoted definition then task evalution will not fail. [#3635][3635] by [@panaeon][@panaeon]
- Removes reference to version 0.14.0 from a warning message. [#3693][3693] by [@saniyatech][@saniyatech]
- Fixes screpl throwing "Not a valid key: console-quick". [#3762][3762] by [@xuwei-k][@xuwei-k]
### Improvements
- Filters scripted tests based on optional `project/build.properties`. See below.
- Adds `Project#withId` to change a project's id. [#3601][3601] by [@dwijnand][@dwijnand]
- Adds `reboot dev` command, which deletes the current artifact from the boot directory. This is useful when working with development versions of sbt. [#3659][3659] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n]
- Adds a check for a change in sbt version before `reload`. [#1055][1055]/[#3673][3673] by [@RomanIakovlev][@RomanIakovlev]
- Adds a new setting `insideCI`, which indicates that sbt is likely running in an Continuous Integration environment. [#3672][3672] by [@RomanIakovlev][@RomanIakovlev]
- Adds `nameOption` to `Command` trait. [#3671][3671] by [@miklos-martin][@miklos-martin]

### sbt server
sbt server feature was reworked to use Language Server Protocol 3.0 (LSP) as the wire protocol, a protocol created by Microsoft for Visual Studio Code.
To discover a running server, sbt 1.1.0 creates a port file at `./project/target/active.json` relative to a build:
sbt server adds network access to sbt's shell command so, in addition to accepting input from the terminal, server also to accepts input from the network. Here's how we can call `compile`:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"textDocument/publishDiagnostics","params":{"uri":"file:/Users/foo/work/hellotest/Hello.scala","diagnostics":[{"range":{"start":{"line":2,"character":26},"end":{"line":2,"character":27}},"severity":1,"source":"sbt","message":"object X is not a member of package foo"}]}}
```

### VS Code extension
The primary use case we have in mind for the sbt server is tooling integration such as editors and IDEs. As a proof of concept, we created a Visual Studio Code extension called [Scala (sbt)][vscode-sbt-scala].
Currently this extension is able to:
- Run `compile` at the root project when `*.scala` files are saved. [#3524][3524] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n]
- Display compiler errors.
- Display log messages. [#3740][3740] by [@laughedelic][@laughedelic]
- Jump to class definitions. [#3660][3660]
### Filtering scripted tests using `project/build.properties`
For all scripted tests in which `project/build.properties` exist, the value of the `sbt.version` property is read. If its binary version is different from `sbtBinaryVersion in pluginCrossBuild` the test will be skipped and a message indicating this will be logged.
This allows you to define scripted tests that track the minimum supported sbt versions, e.g. 0.13.9 and 1.0.0-RC2. [#3564][3564]/[#3566][3566] by [@jonas][@jonas]
