Changelog

Big release this time!

JBang Config

Every command line argument can now get defaults set using jbang config. You can store the settings globally or using -f=. to have them only take effect in a specific directory tree.

Really useful for setting default editor, i.e. jbang config set edit.open idea to use idea as your default editor.

@quintesse worked hard on this and I'm sure it will save people a lot of extra typing.

Groovy Support

@linux-china showed up contributing Groovy support similar to Kotlin. Still experimental but now you can get all the jbang advantages of compile jars, sharing using catalogs and alias with all the Groovy you like.

Literate Programming with Markdown

JBang will now when you pass it a markdown file like, jbang https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang/blob/main/itests/readme.md it will extract the java/jsh code blocks and treat them as jshell. Allowing you to mix text and code that is both explanatory and runnable.

Embedded GAV

You can now add a //GAV mygroup:artifactid to your file to have it be exported using jbang export mavenrepo without having to list the GAV everytime.

Multiple Deps

--deps on command line now support multiple dependencies separate by a comma(,) to allow much more compact command lines. Thanks to @grumpyf0x48!

Intellij JBang support

@linux-china did not stop with Groovy support he also kicked of Intellij JBang support - give it at try from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18257-jbang.

Hope you like this xmas release and when you try any of it out do please leave a comment of feedback on https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang/discussions - we love to hear the good as well as the bad to keep improving JBang !
