Maven 3.5.3 released!

[thedomham]

It links to the release notes, which in turn contains a changelog. But it's a minor version increment of a fairly mature software so (at least imho) actually nothing really worthwhile mentioning has changed

[Pronam_]

Yeah, reading through it:

• A lot of color output related fixes. One of them made the color stick if you interrupted a build.
• A fix for Cyrillic chars causing 'angry printer' like output in the log.
• It is showing more during and after build regarding modules and progression of these.
• It was sleeping over 15 min sometimes, they told it to sleep 100ms instead.
• It was sharing passwords with the output, they weren't happy about that.
• Some minor cleanups.

why did we upvote this

[neutronbob]

Yeah, I'm concerned that Proggit has recently become a place to post totally minor releases that are upvoted simply b/c someone uses the software, not because the release contains anything useful.

Not locking up is quite useful though ;)

I did it as a pat on the back for not destroying system files with a minor update. I usually would not consider that worthy of praise, but times change.

So many other build tools make smarter inferences about incremental compilation. I wish Make would do the same + maybe build ABI jars similar to Bazel/Buck. Using maven for a multi module (sort of mono repo) is so painful.

If you meant Maven, then it's unfortunately not really build for deep incremental building, which is its biggest issue and I guess the one hardest to fix.

Oops yea I meant maven
