### Fixes with compatibility implications - Deprecates the old sbt 0.12 DSL, to be removed in sbt 1.0. See below for more details. - The `.value` method is deprecated for input tasks. Calling `.value` on an input key returns an `InputTask[A]`, which is completely unintuitive and often results in a bug. In most cases `.evaluated` should be called, which returns `A` by evaluating the task. Just in case `InputTask[A]` is needed, `.inputTaskValue` method is now provided. [#2709][2709] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n] - sbt 0.13.13 renames the early command `--` that was added in 0.13.1 to `early()`. This fixes the regression [#1041][1041]. For backward compatibility `--error`, `--warn`, `--info`, and `--debug` will continue to function during the 0.13 series, but it is strongly encouraged to migrate to the single hyphen options: `-error`, `-warn`, `-info`, and `-debug`. [#2742][2742] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n] - Improve `show` when key returns a `Seq` by showing the elements one per line. Disable with `-Dsbt.disable.show.seq=true`. [#2755][2755] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n] - Recycles classloaders to be anti-hostile to JIT. Disable with `-Dsbt.disable.interface.classloader.cache=true`. [#2754][2754] by [@retronym][@retronym] ### Improvements - Adds `new` command and `templateResolverInfos`. See below for more details. - Auto plugins can add synthetic subprojects. See below for more details. - Supports wildcard exclusions in POMs [#1431][1431]/[sbt/ivy#22][sbt-ivy-22]/[#2731][2731] by [@jtgrabowski][@jtgrabowski] - Adds the ability to call `aggregateProjects(..)` for the current project inside a build sbt file. [#2682][2682] by [@xuwei-k][@xuwei-k] - Adds `.jvmopts` support to the launcher script. [sbt/sbt-launcher-package#111][111] by [@fommil][@fommil] - Adds `.java-version` support to the Windows launcher script. [sbt/sbt-launcher-package#111][111] by [@fommil][@fommil] - The startup log level is dropped to `-error` in script mode using `scalas`. [#840][840]/[#2746][2746] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n] - Adds `CrossVersion.patch` which sits in between `CrossVersion.binary` and `CrossVersion.full` in that it strips off any trailing `-bin-...` suffix which is used to distinguish variant but binary compatible Scala toolchain builds. Most things which are currently `CrossVersion.full` (eg. Scala compiler plugins, esp. macro-paradise) would be more appropriately depended on as `CrossVersion.patch` from this release on. ### Bug fixes - Fixes a regression in sbt 0.13.12 that wrongly reports build-level keys to be ambiguous. [#2707][2707]/[#2708][2708] by [@Duhemm][@Duhemm] - Fixes a regression in sbt 0.13.12 that was misfiring Scala version enforcement when an alternative `scalaOrganization` is set. [#2703][2703] by [@milessabin][@milessabin] - Fixes `Tags.ForkedTestGroup`. [#2677][2677]/[#2681][2681] by [@pauldraper][@pauldraper] - Fixes forked tests being reported as successful when the test harness fails. [#2442][2442]/[#2722][2722]/[#2730][2730] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n]/[@dwijnand][@dwijnand] - Fixes incorrect installation path on Windows. [sbt/sbt-launcher-package#110][110] by [@dwijnand][@dwijnand] ### new command and templateResolverInfos sbt 0.13.13 adds a `new` command, which helps create new build definitions. The `new` command is extensible via a mechanism called the template resolver. A template resolver pattern matches on the passed in arguments after `new`, and if it's a match it will apply the template. As a reference implementation, template resolver for [Giter8][g8] is provided. For instance: sbt new eed3si9n/hello.g8 will run [eed3si9n/hello.g8][] using Giter8. [#2705][2705] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n] ### Synthetic subprojects sbt 0.13.13 adds support for `AutoPlugin`s to define subprojects programmatically, by overriding the `extraProjects` method: import sbt._, Keys._ object ExtraProjectsPlugin extends AutoPlugin { override def extraProjects: Seq[Project] = List("foo", "bar", "baz") map generateProject def generateProject(id: String): Project = Project(id, file(id)). settings( name := id ) } In addition, subprojects may be derived from an existing subproject by overriding `derivedProjects`: import sbt._, Keys._ object DerivedProjectsPlugin extends AutoPlugin { // Enable this plugin by default override def requires: Plugins = sbt.plugins.CorePlugin override def trigger = allRequirements override def derivedProjects(proj: ProjectDefinition[_]): Seq[Project] = // Make sure to exclude project extras to avoid recursive generation if (proj.projectOrigin != ProjectOrigin.DerivedProject) { val id = proj.id + "1" Seq( Project(id, file(id)). enablePlugins(DatabasePlugin) ) } else Nil } [#2532][2532]/[#2717][2717]/[#2738][2738] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n] ### Deprecate old sbt 0.12 DSL The no-longer-documented operators `<<=`, `<+=`, and `<++=` and tuple enrichments are deprecated, and will be removed in sbt 1.0. Generally, task3 <<= (task1, task2) map { (t1, t2) => println(t1 + t2); t1 + t2 } should migrate to task3 := { println(task1.value + task2.value) task1.value + task2.value } Except for source generators, which requires task values: sourceGenerators in Compile <+= buildInfo This becomes: sourceGenerators in Compile += buildInfo.taskValue Another exception is input task: run <<= docsRunSetting This becomes: run := docsRunSetting.evaluated See [Migrating from sbt 0.12.x](https://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Migrating-from-sbt-012x.html) for more details.
