Version 1.10.1 (09-Dec-2025)

Bugfix

• #71: Replaced Thread.stop() call with Thread.interrupt() in the RobotThreadManager
  • The Thread.stop() call has been removed as of Java 21, so the old call to stop() would cause the rest of the
    battle to be aborted; e.g., if you were running 100 rounds, but after the second a robot's thread needs to be
    terminated, then that would abort the rest of the rounds.
    By swapping in interrupt, the thread should still terminate, but gracefully.
  • Thanks go to Jeremiah Blanchard for fixing this ❤️. Nice catch!

Changes

• Improved documentation and comments with all sample bots.
• Updated libraries (dependencies) to the latest versions (including Eclipse Compiler for Java and Codesize).
