I’m happy to announce sbt 1.3.2 patch release is available. Full release note is here - https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/tag/v1.3.2

How to upgrade

Normally changing the project/build.properties to

sbt.version=1.3.2

would be ok. However, given that this release contains fixes to sbt bash script and also because your initial resolution would be faster with *.(zip|tgz|msi) that contains all the JAR files, we recommend you use the installer distribution. They are available from Homebrew, SDKMAN, scoop, etc.

Fixes with compatibility implication

sbt launcher script drops -XX:+UseParallelGC for JDK 9 and up since it could cause severe GC pauses given a large heap sbt/sbt-launcher-package#282 / #5045 by @eed3si9n

What happened to 1.3.1?

We realized there was a bug in sbt launcher script after we released 1.3.1, so we’re skipping it. The main artifacts are identical between the 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
