Nashorn 15.1 is out

[Attila Szegedi]

Hey all,

I just released Nashorn 15.1[0]. We also have a change log[1] now where you can easily see what’s new.

The biggest change is that Nashorn can now function when loaded through classpath instead of module path. I could confirm with my little test application that this solves the issue with it being used in Spring Boot applications. Aside from that, I incorporated few smaller bug fixes mostly scoured from JBS. I still have some PRs outstanding, so it’s entirely possible this will soon be followed up with a 15.1.1, but wanted to get the classpath compatibility out there as soon as possible.

Attila.
