sbt/notes/0.13.10.markdown

Fixes with compatibility implications

• sbt will no longer pass -J<flag> options to the local Java compiler. #1968/#2272 by @Duhemm

Improvements

• Scala version used by the build is updated to 2.10.6. [#2311][2311] by @eed3si9n
• If publishMavenStyle is true, update task warns when it sees intransitive dependencies, which do not translate to Maven. #2127 by @jsuereth
• Adds Def.settings, which facilitates mixing settings with seq of settings. See below.
• sbt Serialization is updated to 0.1.2. [2117][#2117] by @dwijnand
• Hides the stack trace on compilation error in build definition. #2071/#2091 by @Duhemm
• Makes the dummy Logger.Null public. #2094 by @pdalpra
• Uses diagnostic classes to get lines contents in local Java compiler. #2108/#2201 by @fkorotkov
• Logs javaOptions used when forking. #2087/#2103 by @pdalpra
• Warns when javaOptions are defined but fork is set to false. #2041/#2103 by @pdalpra
• Adds an Append.Sequence instance for List to allow +=/++= on developers setting. #2107/#2114 by @pdalpra
• Fixes warnings, and other clean ups. #2112/#2137/#2139/#2142 by @pdalpra
• Adds scalaCompilerBridgeSource setting to specify the compiler brigde, and uses Ivy to retrieve it. #2106/#2197 by @Duhemm
• Adds localIfFile to MavenRepository, to force artifacts to be copied to the cache. #2172 by @dwijnand
• Adds Resolver.bintrayIvyRepo(owner, repo). #2285 by @dwijnand

Bug fixes

• Fixes the false positive of inconsistent duplicate warnings. #1933/#2258 by @Duhemm

• Updated Ivy to merge IVY-1526 fix. sbt/ivy#14/#2118 by @jsuereth

• Fixes updateClassifiers downloading updated snapshot sources and docs. #1750/sbt/ivy#17/#2163/sbt/ivy#18/#2186 by @dwijnand

• Fixes updateClassifiers on Ivy modules without default configuration. #2264 by @eed3si9n/@Duhemm

• Updated JLine to version 2.13. #1681/#2173

• Changing the value of a constant (final-static-primitive) field will now correctly trigger incremental compilation for downstream classes. This is to account for the fact that Java compilers may inline constant fields in downstream classes. #1967/#2085 by @stuhood

• Fixes classfile location detection. #2214 by @stuhood

• Fixes a few typos in keys descriptions. #2092 by @pdalpra

• Avoids the use of ListBuffer#readOnly. #2095 by @adriaanm

• Expands transitive dependency exclusions when using sbt-maven-resolver-plugin #2109 by @jsuereth

• Fixes incremental compilation of traits by including private members into the API hash. #2155/#2160

• Fixes name hashing error messages. #2158 by @stuhood

• Adds more robustness to tasks and settings command. #2192 by @DavidPerezIngeniero

• Fixes Java compilation inconsistencies between sbt and javac by always failing if the local Java compiler reported errors. #2228/#2271 by @Duhemm

• Fixes JavaErrorParser to parse non-compile-errors #2256/#2272 by @Duhemm

• Fixes task scheduling performance on large builds by skipping checks in sbt.Execute. #2302/#2303 by @jrudolph

• Fixes autoImports for AutoPlugins for global configuration files. #2120/#2399 by @timcharper

Def.settings

Using Def.settings it is now possible to nicely define settings as such:

val modelSettings = Def.settings(
  sharedSettings,
  libraryDependencies += foo
)
