🚀 nuts v0.8.9.0 RC1: The Foundation of the 1.0 Era

• The Bridge to 1.0: v0.8.9 serves as our most stable and polished "odd-number" release, finalizing the core architecture for the future.
• Polyglot Repositories: First-class support for non-Java-only repositories, including seamless bundling for NetBeans and PostgreSQL.
• Lightning Fast Native Images: You can now install nuts via RPM or run it as a native image for near-instant execution.

🛠 Feature Breakdown

🔐 Hardened Security

• Modern Cryptography: Upgraded from DES/CBC to AES/GCM for all cipher implementations.
• Vault & Secret Management: Introduced NSecureToken for external Vault integration and NSecureString for memory-safe, destroyable secrets.

📄 TSON v2.0 (Reference Implementation)

• High-Fidelity Parsing: A round-trip parser that preserves comments and whitespace using a Concrete Syntax Tree (CST).
• Resilience: A "Never-fail" architecture where errors are stored as diagnostic metadata within the CST rather than crashing the process.
• Advanced Tooling: New navigation and transformation concepts (NElementNavigator, NElementTransform) and support for user metadata on any element.

⚡ Performance & Core Optimization

• Parallelization: Multi-threaded dependency resolution for faster builds.
• Optimized Connectivity: SSH connection pooling and support for binary SSH (ssh://...?use=bin).
• Execution Speed: A faster Bean Factory and a new execution cache that remembers command classpaths, eliminating redundant rebuilds.
• I/O Efficiency: NPath::getInfo now returns comprehensive file metadata in a single call to minimize system overhead.

🌐 An Expanded Ecosystem

• Portable Runtimes: Effortlessly manage runtimes (e.g., nuts settings add java --download -version=25).
• Infrastructure & IDEs: Native support for Tomcat, PostgreSQL, and NetBeans.
• Cloud Native: Improved detection for Docker and Kubernetes to enable zero-config deployments.
• IDE Support: Syntax highlighting is now available across the board, from IntelliJ and VS Code to Vim, Kate, and Notepad++.
• Build Tools: A new Gradle Dependency Solver bridges the gap between nuts and Gradle projects.

📝 What’s Next?

Changes

⚠️ Stability & Refactoring

Better security support

• New more secure implementation of cipher using AES/GCM instead of older and broken DES/CBC
• Enhanced types support with new order and unordered lists, Bloc Strings, grouped Multiline comments, etc.
• added NSecureToken : a better way to support external Vaults
