JReleaser is a tool that streamlines creating releases for \[Java\] projects.

It can create a GitHub/GitLab/Gitea release, while also packaging binaries for Homebrew, Snapcraft, Docker, Chocolatey, Scoop, JBang and, more than that, announces releases to Twitter, SdkMan!, e-mail, Zulip, Discord, Gitter, Slack, Teams, and more.

This is a small release as core features are mostly complete:

* **JDKs:** The jdks-gradle-plugin now unpacks the chosen JDK distribution in a subdirectory that matches the configured named. This is a breaking change! Additionally, tasks for removing cached JDKs were also added.
* **GitHub:** Linking a release to a discussion is automatically skipped if the release is a draft or early access.
* **Changelog:** You can now specify if a full or partial changelog should be generated when the release is early access.
* **Homebrew:** Fixes automatic generation of Cask v.s Formula.
* **Release:** You may skip creating a release but keep the tag. This is useful for the case when you'd like to push release assets via an uploader but want to skip creating a Git release.

Full changelog can be found at the [v0.7.0](https://github.com/jreleaser/jreleaser/releases/tag/v0.7.0) release page.
