On September 28, 2024, we released jsonparamunit v0.0.6. While this version doesn’t introduce sweeping new features, it serves as a critical maintenance update designed to keep the library stable, secure, and fully compatible with the evolving Java ecosystem.

What’s new

This release focuses on the essential “under-the-hood” work that keeps your testing pipeline running smoothly.

Updated Core Dependencies We’ve bumped several key libraries to their latest stable versions, including:

  • JUnit 5 (5.11.1): Ensuring the best possible integration with the latest JUnit parameterized tests.
  • Jackson (2.18.0): Improving JSON parsing performance and reliability.
  • Lombok (1.18.34) & Mockito (5.14.0): Keeping our development and testing toolchain modern.

Enhanced Build Transparency We have integrated build provenance into our CI/CD pipeline. By adding build attestations, we provide greater transparency and security, allowing users to verify the origin and integrity of the artifacts they download.

Improved Documentation To help new users get started faster, we’ve updated the README with an “Active” project status badge and direct links to the official project guide at guide.unitvectorylabs.com.

Why it matters

In the world of Java development, stability is everything. By proactively updating dependencies like Jackson and JUnit, we ensure that jsonparamunit remains compatible with the latest frameworks and avoids the security vulnerabilities often found in outdated libraries.

Furthermore, the move toward build provenance reflects our commitment to a secure software supply chain. As jsonparamunit continues to help developers simplify data-driven testing, providing a verifiable and transparent build process is a key step in building trust with the community.

Getting Started

Upgrading to v0.0.6 is seamless, as there are no breaking changes. Simply update the version in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsonparamunit</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.6</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

We encourage all users to move to this version to benefit from the latest stability and security improvements.
