Release Announcement

We’re pleased to announce the release of consistgen v0.0.6, published on September 28, 2024. This maintenance update keeps the library’s dependencies current and improves build reliability for developers working with the project.

What’s New

This release focuses on two key areas:

Dependency Updates

  • Updated junit-jupiter-api from 5.11.0 to 5.11.1
  • Updated maven-gpg-plugin from 3.2.6 to 3.2.7

Build Improvements

  • Added explicit Lombok annotation processor configuration to the Maven compiler plugin, ensuring consistent and reliable compilation across different development environments.

Why It Matters

While v0.0.6 doesn’t introduce new features, it represents an important aspect of maintaining a healthy open source project:

  1. Active Maintenance: This release demonstrates that consistgen is actively maintained with regular dependency updates to keep the codebase secure and up-to-date.

  2. Build Reliability: The enhanced Lombok annotation processor configuration means smoother builds for developers contributing to or building from the source.

  3. Safe Upgrade Path: There are no breaking changes, API modifications, or deprecations in this release. It’s a straightforward drop-in upgrade for existing users.

Upgrade Instructions

Upgrading to v0.0.6 is simple. If you’re using Maven, update your dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>consistgen</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.6</version>
</dependency>

No code changes or migration steps are required. The library maintains full backward compatibility with v0.0.5.

About consistgen

For those new to the project, consistgen is a Java utility library that provides dependency injection for generating timestamps, UUIDs, and random strings in testable ways. It helps developers write more predictable and maintainable tests by allowing injectable implementations of these commonly used generators.
