Released on October 22, 2025, JSONassertify v0.0.5 is a maintenance update focused on enhancing the project’s stability, security, and build infrastructure. While this release doesn’t introduce new API features, it ensures that the library remains robust and compatible with the latest development tooling.

What’s new

This release primarily consists of essential updates to the project’s dependencies and automation pipeline:

  • Updated Test Framework: JUnit Jupiter API has been bumped to version 5.13.4, ensuring a modern and stable testing environment.
  • Build Tooling Enhancements: Several core Maven plugins—including the compiler, surefire, javadoc, and GPG plugins—have been updated to their latest versions to improve build reliability.
  • CI/CD Pipeline Upgrades: The GitHub Actions workflows have been modernized, with updates to checkout, setup-java, and security scanning actions like CodeQL and Codecov.

Why it matters

Regular maintenance of development dependencies is critical for any open-source project. By keeping our build tools and test frameworks up to date, we reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities in the build process and ensure that JSONassertify continues to integrate seamlessly into modern Java development workflows. These “under-the-hood” improvements provide a more stable foundation for future feature development.

Upgrading to v0.0.5

Upgrading to this version is straightforward. Update the version in your pom.xml as follows:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
  <artifactId>jsonassertify</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.5</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

As this is a maintenance release, there are no breaking changes, and v0.0.5 is a drop-in replacement for previous versions.
