v4.2.0: JLine 4.2.0

Compare Source

JLine 4.2.0 is a minor release that bumps the version to reflect API and behavioral changes since the 4.1.x series.

Highlights:

• java.logging module dependency dropped — JLine now uses System.Logger (JEP 264), removing the java.logging module requirement and making JLine friendlier in custom JPMS runtimes (#​1934)
• ScreenTerminal unified — the two divergent copies (builtins vs terminal) are consolidated into org.jline.utils.ScreenTerminal, with a fix for stale status rows when using bordered status displays (#​1971)
• Exit command made configurable — the built-in exit command is now a regular, configurable command rather than hardcoded (#​1870)
• Prompt module — list and checkbox prompts now support per-item footers (#​1933)
• Robustness fixes — EOF propagation in PtyInputStream, signal handling with ISIG cleared, resize sync, graphics protocol detection on basic terminals, and several out-of-bounds guards
