v0.2.0 (May 20th, 2024)

[rcoh]

⚠️ This is a breaking release ⚠️

This release contains several breaking changes to be aware of:

1. The public API has been simplfied: Duchess references are now "global" references by default. The to_rust, global, and execute combinators have all been merged. You now invoke execute and then the result depends on the return value: returning a Java<T> will create a global reference (matching the previous behavior of global), and returning a Rust value like String will invoke the "to rust" conversion (like to_rust used to do). For context and examples of upgrading see simplify public API, only allowing global JVM references #147.

2. Jvm::with has been removed. You can no longer obtain explicit handles to the JVM, preventing panics due to nested Jvm::with invocations. For context and examples see simplify public API, only allowing global JVM references #147.

3. JvmOp, the type returned by most Duchess operations-in-progress is now #[must_use]. If you encounter this error in your code, note that the code as written had no effect. JvmOp does nothing unless .execute() is called.
