Deprecate Dependency Scanning support for sbt 1.0.x
Problem to solve
Supporting very old version of sbt is preventing us to improve our support for additional use cases with this package manager without increasing drastically our maintenance cost.
In Gemnasium fails when running sbt dependencyDot:... (#390287 - closed) we managed to find a solution that is supported starting with 1.1.0
but fails with 1.0.x
.
Considering v1.1.0 was introduced in January 2018, which is more than 5 years ago, it makes sense to us to drop support for older versions.
Proposal
Announce deprecation of support for sbt 1.0.x
in Dependency Scanning and License Scanning features as of %16.1, with a removal planned in %16.3. We are targetting %16.3 as there is a migration stop for this release and we have planned other breaking changes to happen at that time. This will ensure we limit use impact, were they any remaining user on sbt 1.0.x
