This extremely annoying (yet not critical) bug which breaks compile:console up/down keys for history https://github.com/sbt/sbt/pull/4123 is present in SBT up to versions 1.1.5. Could the maintainer please bump the latest 1.1.6 release? My sincerest thanks for maintaining this SBT release!
I've built 1.1.6 locally without having to change the ebuild, and it runs ok. The aforementioned but is fixed. But there is some other issue that is apparent when compiling continuously. Sometimes it doesn't register updates and you need to hit enter to exit continuous compile and then type in "~compile" again. However this is less of a pain than the console problem ...
FYI, version 1.2.1 is out: https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases Thanks!
this version is long gone now, closing
