Karate Files

Important

There are multiple security vulnerabilities in libraries that Karate depends on that are fixed in this release. If you are on an old version of Karate - it is strongly recommended that you upgrade. Refer [#2148] | [#2265] | [#2277]

Breaking Changes

The main change in this release is that Karate requires Java 11 or above. We no longer support Java 8. Otherwise there should not be any syntax or behavior changes (from Karate 1.3.X).

Note that some of the security / CVE fixes cannot be back-ported to Java 8 because they depend on Java 11.

Also note: * JUnit 4 is no longer supported. If you were using JUnit 4, either move to the Runner API or JUnit 5 * The ZIP release is no longer published since the official Karate plugins provide a better quick-start experience. The stand-alone JAR is still available. * The karate-mock-servlet dependency is no longer published * The old cucumber-java 1.2.5 dependency is no longer included, refer [#2214]
