v1.9.0

[satabin]

This release adds a new new big feature for JSON and a total revamp of the website!

• Global
  • Artifacts are now compiled to Java 11 bytecode (see Update play-json to 2.10.1 #525)
  • The website has been entirely revamped, and now uses Laika (instead of nanoc) and pagefind for the search engine (instead of stork) (see Revamp website #528, Find an alternative to stork search engine #502 by @satabin).
  • A new cookbook section has been added to demo bigger examples and integration of fs2-data (see Add cookbooks #413, Add cookbook for JSON data manipulation #529 by @satabin).
• JSON
  • The big new feature of this release, is the addition of a JSON query language (similar to jq) operating in a streaming fashion (see Fix evaluation of stay moves #526, Add Jq implementation #426, Add a default fallback value to paths #531, Add Streaming jq Subset #371 by @satabin). This new feature allows to query sub-parts of a JSON input and generate a new JSON output out of the query, in a purely declarative way. Output JSON tokens are emitted as soon as they are produced, and processed input is discard, so that it does not need to hold the entire JSON data into memory.

In addition following dependency updates are included (by @scala-steward):

• Update play-json to 2.10.1
• Update cats-parse to 0.3.10
• Update sbt-typelevel to 0.5.3
• Update sbt-scalajs, scalajs-compiler, ... to 1.14.0
• Update sbt-scoverage to 2.0.9
• Update sbt to 1.9.6
• Update sbt-scalafix to 0.11.1
• Update scala3-library, ... to 3.3.1
• Update scala-library, scala-reflect to 2.13.12
• Update fs2-core, fs2-io to 3.9.2
