Since the early days JReleaser has had 2 release paths: fast & slow. The fast path is the early-access release, posted every time a commit is pushed to the main branch. This type of release allows early adopters to test out new features as soon as they are added to the main branch. Consumers of the jreleaser/release-action GitHub Action can take advantage of the version property exposed by said action to select this release. Early Access releases are intended to be downloaded manually as they might be unstable and as such only CLI related artifacts are posted. There are NO Read More

JReleaser v1.1.0 has just been released! This is the first feature release after v1.0.0 and it comes with a few goodies. The following sections describe new capabilities offered by this release.

For this to work all behavior configured on CI must also be available on a local environment. The newly added Download step lets you download files (assembly assets, templates, etc) from different sources such as FTP, HTTP, SCP, and SFTP. Read More
