Scala sbt 1.2.7 patch notes

Hi everyone. We have two patch releases sbt 1.2.7 and sbt 0.13.18.

How to upgrade

Change project/build.properties as follows:

sbt.version=1.2.7

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.

More fix for "Different extra API hashes" problem

People who have upgraded to sbt 1.2.4 or 1.2.6 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 1.2.7 hopefully fixes this problem this time. zinc#620 by @eed3si9n

sbt 0.13.18

All active development has been on sbt 1, but I would like to annouce the end of sbt 0.13 public support effective today, and April, 2019 for Lightbend subscribers. sbt 0.13.18 will likely be one of the last 0.13.x releases.
