Release v1.5.1

2023-03-12T10:15:10Z

JReleaser 1.5.1 is now available! This is a patch release that only includes bug fixes in the following areas: docker, java-archive, native-image, jlink, single-jar.

Docker: Fixed a couple of issues when buildx was configured as well as when docker.io was used as a registry name instead of DEFAULT.

Assemblers: Assemblers can now specify a timestamp for all archive entries (reproducible builds FTW) as well as longFileMode/bigNumberMode for tars. java-archive failed to generate a suitable launcher for a modular application. The deprecated NATIVE_IMAGE distribution type was accidentally removed; use BINARY instead. Targets set in jlink.jdeps will be automatically converted to absolute paths. All assemblers and package managers are now fully compatible with modular Java applications.
