Create a new release

[dieend]

Hello, is there any specific schedule on the release timeline? Last release was 6 months ago, and wondering if we can have a new release. Thank you!

I would also request this, I see 4.2 does not include the kt_jvm_export that was added.

This fix would be highly desired in new release as well. Thank you! 👍

Hoping this https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external/pull/695 could also land in the new release 🤞

Release schedules have been fairly arbitrary, will take a look!

Hi @jin, Have you been able to make any progress?

For those that are waiting on a new release, you can use rules_jvm_external from HEAD using specific commits.

# Rules JVM External
_RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_VERSION = "COMMIT_TO_USE_GOES_HERE"

http_archive(
    name = "rules_jvm_external",
    sha256 = "SHA256_FOR_THE_ARCHIVE_GOES_HERE",
    strip_prefix = "rules_jvm_external-{}".format(_RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_VERSION),
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external/archive/{}.zip".format(_RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_VERSION),
)
