Its 2023 and time to get releases going again :)
Basic Auth
Michael Meyers added basic auth support for loading scripts allowing you to specify a username/password for secured scripts:
export JBANG_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=myname
export JBANG_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=supersecret
jbang https://some.private/location.java
Download sources
IDE's and Users can now tell JBang to download sources. Useful to have IDE's pickup sources immediately.
jbang edit will resolve sources automatically, and by setting JBANG_DOWNLOAD_SOURCES=true as a environment variable all operations resolving dependencies will resolve sources too.
jbang jdk being more consistent
jbang jdk allows you to manage the java versions installed by jbang; thus jbang jdk java-env would always prefer jbang managed jdk. Now jbang jdk java-env will honor how jbang otherwise pick java. Meaning if you have a java in your path it will print the java-env info for java from the path.
This is a small change but could break your assumptions if you assumed jbang jdk java-env would always give you a jbang installed java.
Using other package manager's java (Experimental)
JBang defaults to use your local configured java or download and use versions of java from Adoptium project if no fitting JDK present.
Users using sdkman and other package managers, like scoop on Windows, requested that JBang could use those package managers java rather than jbang's own.
In this release there is a --jdk-providers flag that allows you to enable use of sdkman and scoop.
i.e. to have jbang honor sdkman installs before jbang but still use path if present do following:
jbang jdk --jdk-providers=path,sdkman,jbang list --show-details
Installed JDKs (<=default):
11 (11.0.17, path, path, /Users/manderse/.sdkman/candidates/java/current)
11 (11.0.17, sdkman, 11.0.17-zulu-sdkman, /Users/manderse/.sdkman/candidates/java/11.0.17-zulu)
11 (11.0.17, sdkman, current-sdkman, /Users/manderse/.sdkman/candidates/java/current)
11 (11.0.17, jbang, 11-jbang, /Users/manderse/.jbang/cache/jdks/11)
17 (17.0.5, jbang, 17-jbang, /Users/manderse/.jbang/cache/jdks/17)
19 (19.0.1, jbang, 19-jbang, /Users/manderse/.jbang/cache/jdks/19)
20 (20, jbang, 20-jbang, /Users/manderse/.jbang/cache/jdks/20)
Similar can be done with run, build and other jdk commands to get jbang to pick other package managers java.
