REST Assured 6.0.0
Highlights
Section titled “Highlights”- REST Assured now requires Java 17+
- REST Assured now uses Groovy 5.x. While this shouldn’t impact the way REST Assured works in a negative way, it required non-trivial changes under the hood to make it work.
- Support for Spring 7.x in for both the MockMvc and WebTestClient. The minimum Spring version must be 5.3+ (previously, 5.1 was required).
- Support for Jackson 3
- Support for Yasson 3 (3 is now the minimum required version)
- Support for Johnzon 2 (2 is now the minimum required version)
Other changes
Section titled “Other changes”- Migrate json-path fully to Java, bypass GroovyShell for evaluation. This resolved some hairy memory leaks in certain situations.
- Stop resetting ResponseParserRegistrar during build
