I'm happy to announce sbt 1.3.12 patch release. Full release note is here - https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/tag/v1.3.12.

Special thanks to Scala Center. It takes time to review bug reports, pull requests, make sure contributions land to the right places, and Scala Center sponsored me to do maintainer tasks for sbt during May. Darja + whole Scala Center crew have been chill to work with.

Change since sbt 1.3.11

There was a regression in sbt 1.3.11 around the launcher integration, which showed up as repositories file getting ignored. sbt 1.3.12 fixes it. #5583

How to upgrade

Normally changing the project/build.properties to

sbt.version=1.3.12

would be ok. However, given that the release may contain fixes to scripts and also because your initial resolution would be faster with *.(zip|tgz|msi) that contains all the JAR files, we recommend you use the installer distribution. They will be available from SDKMAN etc:

sdk upgrade sbt

Notes about Homebrew

Homebrew maintainers have added a dependency to JDK 13 because they want to use more brew dependencies brew#50649. This causes sbt to use JDK 13 even when java available on PATH is JDK 8 or 11.

To prevent sbt from running on JDK 13, install jEnv or switch to using SDKMAN.

Highlights

sbt 1.3.12 updates lm-coursier to 2.0.0-RC6-4, which deprecates $HOME/.coursier/cache directory in favor of OS specific cache locations:

  • $HOME/Library/Caches/Coursier/v1 for macOS
  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Coursier\Cache\v1 for Windows
  • $HOME/.cache/coursier/v1 for Linux etc
