giter8.version

I added a small app called giter8-launcher for Giter8 0.12.0. The purpose of the app is to make the behavior of the Giter8 template more predictable. Today, template authors may create a template for some version of Giter8 X, but the users might use some other version of Giter8 Y that ships with "sbt new."

This is part 2 of the post about sbt-projectmatrix, an experimental plugin that I've been working to improve the cross building in sbt. Here's part 1. I've just released 0.4.0.

• sbt-projectmatrix enables parallel building of multiple Scala versions and JVM/JS/Native cross building.
• VirtualAxis allows flexible inter-matrix dependencies between Scala-Java matrix, and custom cross-library axis.

Pamflet is a publishing application for short texts, particularly user documentation of open-source software.

Pamflet 0.8.2 updates its monospace typeface to SFMono, and undoes the incidental pink color that got introduced when I migrated from Blueprint to Bootstrap.

Released sbt 1.3.0.

The semantics of a dependency resolver determine the concrete classpath based on the user-specified dependency constraints. Typically the differences in the details manifest as different way the version conflicts are resolved.

• Maven uses nearest-wins strategy, which could downgrade transitive dependencies
• Ivy uses latest-wins strategy
• Coursier generally uses latest-wins strategy, but it's tries to enforce version range strictly
• Ivy's version range handling goes to the Internet, which makes the build non-repeatable
• Coursier orders version string completely differently from Ivy

• Expecty 0.12.0
• Expecty 0.13.0

I gave a talk at Scala Days 2019 at Lausanne in June.
