Neat! Question, though: in order to use sbt server, does the project have to be 1.1.0 based, or is it sufficient to be running it inside 1.1.0? I don’t know sbt well enough for the answer to be obvious…

Yes. The server feature is part of sbt 1.1, which requires that your build be upgraded from 0.13.
