v0.92.0

Changelog

This time with a mixed bag of features/improvements:

Console trust and "zero" install

Running using curl will now download jbang to a temporary location if no local .jbang jar found. This ensures if you run curl install it will use the latest available.

Also When installing or running jbang using curl osx and linux will now use /dev/tty to
allow using console to approve/trust scripts. Windows will still use the UI based approach if necessary.

We also now don't ask to trust a script you already downloaded and not running with --fresh.

This should all make the installation of jbang and running of scripts simpler and more reliable.

Integrations can run externally

Today when using jbang integrations (i.q. Quarkus integration) it runs in the same jvm/classloader
as jbang itself. This works normally great, but if you are targeting a Java higher than the Java you are running JBang with (i.e. uses --java 17 when running with Java 11) you can get errors about mismatched Java versions.

In this release JBang now will run the integration in an external process when Java versions does not match.

This also enables a future possible improvement of making jbang a native binary.

Allow aliases for //SOURCES

You can now use aliases in //SOURCES. This is mainly interesting when running jshell based scripts. For example in a .jsh file you can use //SOURCES faker@jbangdev and you get the faker script included.

Enjoy!
