Hi everyone. sbt 1.2.6 patch release is available.
Change project/build.properties as follows:
sbt.version=1.2.6
The sbt launcher will automatically resolve the sbt JARs based on what’s in project/build.properties.
However, if you want to resolve them faster, you should use the installers. zip, tgz, and msi installers contain all the JAR files so the resolution completes from the preloaded-local repository.
Note: Please run clean after updating since sbt 1.2.6 includes a fix in the incremental compiler.
People who have upgraded to sbt 1.2.4 noticed a weird error complaining about “Different extra API hashes”:
[error] java.lang.RuntimeException: A fatal error happened in `SameAPI`: different extra api hashes for no traits!
[error] `akka.util.OptionVal`: 0
[error] `akka.util.OptionVal`: 2116911007
sbt 1.2.5 fixes the issue by defaulting the extra hash to 0. This issue had been fixed in develop branch, but it did not get backported when the private trait detection patch got backported by me. Thanks Guillaume Martres for fixing it twice! zinc#606 by @smarter
Cached resolution feature has not been working in sbt 1.x for multiple reasons. Over time, Peter Vlugter and Kenji Yoshida have come up with enough hints that Eugene was able to get cached resolution going again. #4425/lm#269 by @eed3si9n
