This release fixes toolchains where they were broken before (in Kotlin projects), and expands their use to Java projects as well. Toolchain support means Gradle will download a JDK (usually from Eclipse Adoptium, which was called AdoptOpenJDK) of the correct version if you don't already have one installed with that version, and will use that JDK for everything in the build. They may become optional soon if people encounter issues with toolchains at their core, but they should really help coordinate multiple-user or multiple-machine projects. Other things:
- The "legacy desktop" platform is now called
lwjgl2, to match the style oflwjgl3. I don't know how often it gets used, though. - The
disttask works again, and is equivalent tojarfor LWJGL3 and other desktop-based projects. Thanks again, @lyze237 ! - Fleks ECS is updated to 2.6, thanks @Quillraven !
- Kotlin has been updated to 1.9.22, and some effort has been put into making the launchers act better. It turns out they may just need to be launched once, fail once, and will work normally after that...?
- A security warning with a dependency, mvnrepository-client, was resolved in the same way a previous security warning with that dependency was: with a fixed custom fork that gets built on JitPack.
- There are some additions to the Troubleshooting document, also.
OK, get out there and start lifting off!
