v1.0.0

Four years in the making - Karate 1.0 is here !

A big Thank You to all users and supporters of Karate ! We have come a long way. Please show your support by adding a ⭐️ to our GitHub page.

Karate has so many useful capabilities ! We created this "map" so that you can see how they come together to solve the test-automation challenges that all teams face.

What's New

A lot. You can get a good summary from this article by Peter Quiel: 7 New Features in Karate Test Automation Version 1.0.

More details are provided in the upgrade guide (see link below).

In short - we successfully migrated the JS engine from Nashorn to GraalVM and were able to re-factor and clean up the code to a large degree.

Breaking Changes

It is highly likely that your tests will continue to work without changes. But there can be breaks depending on how much JavaScript and Java inter-op you are using. Also, Maven and Gradle users have one less dependency to worry about - please look out for that.

The finer details are in this wiki-page: 1.0 Upgrade Guide.
