v1.9.1
A patch release on top of 1.9.0: a dependency refresh, a build-plugin coordinate fix, and a CLAUDE.md trim. There are no DSL, content, or runtime source changes — existing Content.kt definitions compile and run unchanged, and the build still targets JDK 25.
Highlights
- readingbat-core / readingbat-kotest 3.3.0 → 3.3.1. A patch bump; no call-site changes were required.
correctAnswers()remains a suspend function, as it has since 3.2.0. - core-utils 3.2.1 → 3.2.2. A patch bump on the 3.x line adopted in 1.9.0. The template's four call sites —
FileSystemSource,GitHubRepo, andOwnerType.OrganizationinContent.kt, plustoDoubleQuotedinContentTests.kt— compile unchanged. - ben-manes versions plugin 0.54.0 → 0.57.0, with a coordinate move. The plugin's published ID changed from
com.github.ben-manes.versionstoio.github.ben-manes.versions;gradle/libs.versions.tomlnow points at the new ID. The catalog alias staysben-manes-versions, soalias(libs.plugins.ben.manes.versions)inbuild.gradle.ktsis untouched and./gradlew dependencyUpdates/make versionsbehave exactly as before. CLAUDE.mdtrimmed 89 → 31 lines. Removed the guidance a session can reconstruct from the repo itself — the build-command list (already surfaced by the self-documentingmake help), the architecture tour, the dependency inventory, and the step-by-step CI description. What stays is the material the code can't teach: theinitTestProperties()and suspend-correctAnswers()runtime gotchas, thegradle.properties/FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS/ configuration-cache build constraints, the pre-push lint etiquette, and the DSL conventions.

Upgrade Notes
- No source changes are required for forks that track this template — this release touches only
gradle/libs.versions.toml,gradle.properties,CLAUDE.md, and the release docs. - Forks that declare the ben-manes versions plugin themselves must update the coordinate from
com.github.ben-manes.versionstoio.github.ben-manes.versions. Forks that consume it through this repo's catalog alias need no change. - JDK 25 remains required, unchanged from 1.8.0.
