0.7.2

• use newest go-java-launcher (1.0.1) for better error messaging when the Java executable cannot be found

0.7.1

• Add "sls" Gradle configuration that exposes the generated tgz as an artifact

0.7.0

• Add -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem flag by default. Consequently, tools like jstack, jinfo, jps will no longer work out of this box. This behaviour can be overridden by setting -XX:-PerfDisableSharedMem in launcher-custom.yml. This change improves performance by avoiding GC pauses when writing stats to a memory-mapped file under /tmp: http://www.evanjones.ca/jvm-mmap-pause.html.

0.6.0

The 0.6.0 release of gradle-java-distribution plugin replaces the Bash-based launch mechanism by a compiled
Go binary. Configuration is done via the generated service/bin/launcher-static.yml file. The Bash scripts are still generated, but considered deprecated, at least as far as the init.sh script is concerned.

NOTE: Custom JVM arguments can no longer be set via JVM_OPTS environment variables and must instead be defined in var/conf/launcher-custom.yml.

0.6.0-rc1

copyLauncherBinaries overwrites existing files (#88)
