On May 25, 2025, we released consistgen v0.0.8. This maintenance release focuses on updating our core dependencies and refining our CI/CD infrastructure to ensure the library remains stable, secure, and up-to-date.

What’s new

This release is centered on maintenance and stability:

  • Dependency Updates: We have bumped several key dependencies to their latest stable versions, including JUnit 5.12.2 for improved testing capabilities, Lombok 1.18.38, and updated Maven plugins for compiler and publishing.
  • Infrastructure Improvements: Our GitHub Actions workflows have been optimized and renamed to better align with Java 17 and Maven Central publishing requirements, ensuring a more robust release pipeline.

Why it matters

While v0.0.8 doesn’t introduce new public API features, these behind-the-scenes updates are critical for the long-term health of the project. By keeping our build tools and testing frameworks current, we reduce technical debt, improve build reliability, and ensure that consistgen continues to provide a seamless, secure experience for developers managing unpredictable data sources in their tests.

Upgrade and Installation

Upgrading to v0.0.8 is a straightforward version bump in your dependency management tool. Since this is a maintenance release with no breaking changes, your existing implementations of EpochTimeProvider, UuidGenerator, or StringProvider will continue to work without any modification.
