Mill 0.11.4 is released today, closely after 0.11.3, to fix an binary compatibility issue with plugins.

You can now run targets on meta-builds, the console / repl commands works again and we fixed a rarely seen glitch with transitive module classpaths.

Most #BuildTool plugins should be developed as an library or CLI app first. Then, you can feed everything from your build tool into it. This makes reusing it in other build tools much easier. Also testing is easier that way.

When looking at the current tooling landscape in #Scala or #Java, most tools are exclusive to one build tool. They use the API of that tools and can therefore not easily reused by others.

Mill 0.11.2 is out!

https://mill-build.com/mill/Changelog.html#0-11-2

This version greatly improves build speed after build definition changes due a new fine-grained cache invalidation (change detection on method-level).

We also improved the editing experience and now properly support meta builds via BSP (Metals) and IntelliJ IDEA.
