This is an outstanding release by the community and contains a lot of
great improvements. Thanks a lot to all the big and small contributions
for this release.
Docker
This release contains various changes to the docker support.
Upgrades and maintenance
@NeQuissimus updated all docker dependencies in #1034
and replaced the deprecated MAINTAINER with LABEL.
dockerVersion setting
@mrfyda added a new setting dockerVersion, which contains the detected
docker version if possible. This allows adopting newer docker features,
while keeping backwards compatibility.
chown flag support
@mrfyda added in #1044 the newly introduced chown flag for the docker ADD command.
This should remove the duplicated layer, which simply chowns all files in the image.
Windows
@dwickern improved the windows bat scripts in #1040 and #1042.
They now support the application.ini as the bash scripts and adding
additional java commands via batScriptExtraDefines.
RPM
@erickpintor picked up and finished the work from @dpennell and
simplified symlinks in RPM packages in #1039.
Umask
@keirlawson added a useful recipe for setting the umask for packages
that are build with the JavaServerAppPackaging in #1038.
See umask recipe.
