On May 25, 2025, we released JSONassertify v0.0.4. This is a maintenance update dedicated to ensuring the library’s dependencies and build infrastructure remain current, secure, and stable for all users.

What’s new

This release focuses on essential under-the-hood updates:

  • Core Library Update: We’ve upgraded org.json:json to version 20250517, ensuring the latest improvements in JSON parsing and manipulation.
  • Test Framework Refresh: JUnit 5 (Jupiter API) has been updated to version 5.12.2 to provide a more robust testing environment.
  • Tooling & CI Upgrades: Various Maven plugins and GitHub Actions have been updated to their latest versions to improve build reliability and security.

Why it matters

While v0.0.4 doesn’t introduce new features, maintenance releases are critical for the long-term health of your projects. By keeping dependencies fresh, we reduce security vulnerabilities and ensure that JSONassertify continues to work seamlessly within modern Java development pipelines—all while maintaining our commitment to Java 8 compatibility.
