sbt 1
summary
sbt 1 is a semver major that keeps 0.13’s feel while changing internals: published to Maven Central, built for Scala 2.12, and using pseudo-case classes (generated records with with instead of copy) to preserve binary compatibility. The incremental compiler is split into zinc with class-based named hashing, library resolution is abstracted so Ivy can be swapped for Coursier, and an LSP-capable sbt server demos editor integration. Adoption shows momentum — ~209k downloads/month and installers for 1.1.5 at ~12k — and roughly 200 of the top plugins already migrated.
