Weld 4.0.0.Beta1

2020-9-18 release Matej Novotny

A new Weld 4 release is now available! Latest core version is now 4.0.0.Beta1 and Weld API that ships with it is 4.0.Beta1.

I will not be listing links to issues as usual, because I think more important work was done outside of JIRA tracking this time (although you can check the issues here). Instead, let me sum it up in a short list of noticeable changes:

All Weld bits are now present in Maven Central
- Including servlet core (and shaded) which had to be left out last time
We are able to execute CDI TCKs in EE 9 environment once again and it’s all passing
We are now able to test servlets with Tomcats and Undertow
- Jetty testing is not possible yet because there is no Arquillian adapter for it yet
Reworked documentation generation tooling
- Weld docs now have similar look to those of CDI and are distributed in either PDF or single page HTML format
Did some updates on Javadoc generation in API and Core if generated with JDK 11
Big update pass on tooling and dependencies
- We are now using Dependabot and have bumped almost every dependency and tooling in the project
- Which also led to nice cleanup and fixing of several issues

On top of that, every bugfix that would go into Weld 3 is of course being added to Weld 4 as well so those aren’t missing either!

WildFly Patch

Sadly we cannot provide a patch for WildFly as there is not yet any official release that would support EE 9. As soon as there is one, we will surely follow up with Weld patch!
