Jmix 1.7 release candidate

Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce that the release candidate of Jmix v.1.7 with Classic UI is available in our artifact repositories. Restart the IDE and select the “Show unstable versions” when creating or updating a project to see the RC in the list of versions.

The automatic migration of an existing project from Jmix 1.6 to 1.7 will be provided in the Studio 2.5.2 which will be released by the end of May. Currently you can upgrade your project manually as follows:

  • Update Jmix Plugin and BOM version in build.grale:
    plugins {
        id 'io.jmix' version '1.7.0-RC1'
        // ...
    }
    // ...	
    jmix {
        bomVersion = '1.7.0-RC1'
    }
    
  • Update Gradle version in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties:
    distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.12.1-bin.zip
    

See what’s new for upgrade instructions and the list of new features and improvements.

We will greatly appreciate if you test the release candidate and let us know about any issues!

The final release 1.7 is expected by the end of May.
