Howdy,

Lightbend Tooling team is happy to announce sbt 0.13.17-RC2. sbt 0.13.17 is a maintenance release from 0.13 branch.

Here are some notable addition since sbt 0.13.16:

Updates Scala version to 2.10.7 for Java 9 support. #3848 by @eed3si9n
Backports logging and clean concurrency fix. #2156/#3834 by @dwijnand
Fixes over-compilation on Java 9 scala.ext.dir. #3142/#3701 by @retronym
Fixes addSbtPlugin to use the correct version of sbt. #3393/#3397 by @dwijnand
Changes the tuple enrichment deprecation warning messages. #3455 by @olafurpg

This release is intended to be binary and source compatible with 0.13.x. It is possible to use the existing 0.13.x or 1.x launcher with this release by settings project/build.properties as follows:

sbt.version=0.13.17-RC2

~~If no serious issues are found by Friday, January 19 2017, 0.13.17-RC1 will become 0.13.17 final.~~
If no serious issues are found by Wednesday, January 31, 2018, 0.13.17-RC2 will become 0.13.17 final.

Special thanks to the contributors for making this release a success.

So, I guess https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/3784 hasn’t been considered for that release? It’s still impossible to publish a compiler plugin from an sbt 1.x build, and use it from an sbt 0.13.x build.

We considered and debated on this, and decided that we needed to focus on 1.x.

If the fix is not too complicated maybe we could slip it in during the RC cycle.
