Now available: Eclipse Golo 3.4.0

We know, it’s been a very long time since we last had a release, but today we are happy to offer Golo 3.4.0!

This release is here thanks to the contributions of Yannick Loiseau and Philippe Charrière.

How to get Golo 3.4.0

You can get a Golo 3.4.0 distribution from the corresponding GitHub release.

You may also get artifacts from Maven Central.

A note about Java versions

Golo 3.4.0 has been validated on Java 8.

It will mostly work with reflective access warnings of Java strong encapsulation with Java 11+, but it will not run with Java 17 unless you manually “open” modules.

What’s new?

Here’s the changelog of Golo 3.4.0-M1 and 3.4.0.
