JReleaser v1.4.0 has just been released! The full list of issues can be found at the v1.4.0 milestone. This release adds a new distribution type (FLAT_BINARY), a new assembler (java-archive), updates to Docker support, and more!

Distribution New flat-binary distribution may be used to release binaries without packaging them in archives. Several package managers support this new distribution type. Deployment Adjustments to Nexus2 support now let you deploy snapshot artifacts to Nexus2 servers and Maven Central. Few other updates were made to support multi-project deployments and projects without Read More

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 v1.2.0 has just been released! I’m quite excited about this release as it brings a feature that’s been brewing for a long time, even before 1.0.0 came out: execution hooks. But, wait there’s more! The full list of issues can be found at the v1.2.0 milestone. We’ve also merged contributions from 4 new contributors: Margarita Nedzelska, Alexius Diakogiannis, Guillaume Smet, Aiden Turner. Execution Hooks JReleaser follows a series of steps when creating a release. Command hooks let you invoke external commands before and/or after each step is executed. With this feature in place you may invoke arbitrary commands that 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. Download One of JReleaser’s core tenets is enabling releases to be posted from a local environment as a complement to performing this task at a CI or remote environment. 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

The day has come. JReleaser v1.0.0 is here! I’m beyond ecstatic to post this announcement as this release is the culmination of multiple efforts made by all contributors, taking into account feedback received by several early adopters, some of which can be seen here. Remember that all deprecated code has been removed, we recommend upgrading to v1.0.0-M3 first to find out if your build uses deprecated features before moving to v1.0.0. There is one more thing to mention, this release coincides with v0.1.0 which was posted exactly 1 year ago 🥳🤩 Lots of features have been added to the tool Read More

JReleaser v1.0.0-RC2 has just been released! There were 2 issues reported against v1.0.0-RC1. Remember that all deprecated code has been removed, we recommend upgrading to 1.0.0-M3 first to find out if your build uses deprecated features before moving to 1.0.0-RC2. As always, feedback is welcomed, feel free to file a ticket or start a discussion topic. Keep on coding! Image by Kien Virak from Pixabay

JReleaser v1.0.0-RC1 has just been released! There’s only a handful of small fixes to be found in this release. However, the main change is the removal of all deprecated code. We recommend upgrading to 1.0.0-M3 first to find out if your build uses deprecated features before moving to 1.0.0-RC1. This is it. We’re on the home stretch to v1.0.0! Barring any blockers this means v1.0.0 should hit the streets in a couple of weeks. We simply could not have done it without the feedback we’ve received from early adopters. Thank you so much! As always, feedback is welcomed, feel free Read More

JReleaser v1.0.0-M3 has just been released! The third milestone release (likely the very last one) towards 1.0.0 is here! This release fixes several issues found in assemblers (jlink, jpackage, native-image). The v1.0.0-M3 milestone shows all closed tickets. Here’s a quick summary of what’s changed: Jlink Support for creating custom Java runtimes for modular applications has been revamped. JReleaser did not handle paths and quoted arguments correctly when running on Windows, that’s now a thing of the past. JPackage Both appName and appVersion properties now support name templates. You may also override appName per platform. Building packages for modular applications is Read More
