JReleaser’s Second Birthday

April 10th marks JReleaser’s second birthday! And I couldn’t be happier. The project has grown a lot since that fateful afternoon when Max and I were chatting on different options to release projects. It went down like this: Max spent a lot of time and energy getting JBang’s release process up to a point where he was happy with it, and I needed a way to replicate the same for Ikonli but was not looking forward to the amount of work required to make it happen. Instead, I wished there was a way to automate as much as possible, just Read More

JReleaser release cadence

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
