We've decided, to move our utility packages from group com.shakelang.shake.util to com.shakelang.util. We've wanted to do this change for a longer time now and decided that it is better to do such things in early development. Nevertheless this was a big refactoring change including more than 400 files. Additionally we've also moved all packages from com.shakelang.shake.util to com.shakelang.util.

THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE. WE'VE DECIDED NOT TO INCREMENT THE MAJOR, AS WE ARE STILL IN A BETA PHASE FOR ALL THE AFFECTED PACKAGES

Here is a list of all affected packages:

• changelog (now com.shakelang.util.changelog)
• colorlib (now com.shakelang.util.colorlib)
• common-io (now com.shakelang.util.common-io)
• environment (now com.shakelang.util.environment)
• jvmlib (now com.shakelang.util.jvmlib) (unreleased)
• logger (now com.shakelang.util.logger)
• markdown (now com.shakelang.util.markdown)
• parseutils (now com.shakelang.util.parseutils)
• pointers (now com.shakelang.util.pointers)
• primitives (now com.shakelang.util.primitives)
• sarifmerge (now com.shakelang.util.sarifmerge)
• shason (now com.shakelang.util.shason)
• testlib (now com.shakelang.util.testlib)

We moved the specification to specification.shakelang.com. The old specification url shakelang.com/specification will redirect to the new url. We now use a separate repository and a separate docusaurus instance for the specification. This allows us to have a better overview of the specification and to have a better structure. We plan on making it much more detailed.

Besides the specification of the language, we are also writing specification for the packages we built as part of the shake project. This includes out parseutils, common-io, primitives, shason and many more utility packages. They might be useful for other projects as well, so we decided to write specification and tutorials for them.

At the moment we only have a specification for the shason package, but we plan on adding more in the future.

As part of this restructuring, we also moved the dokka documentation of the shake project to a separate repository and subdomain.

The dokka documentation is now moved to dokka.shakelang.com. (again, shakelang.com/dokka will redirect to the new url

The reason for all these restructuring are smaller and more maintainable repositories as well as better performance in the builds.

We hope you like the new specification and the new dokka documentation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in our discord server.
