Karate 1.5.0 will require Java 17. Karate 1.5.0 will also change the Maven group-id from com.intuit.karate to io.karatelabs. For a smoother transition, the Java APIs would be changed in a future release (most likely 1.6.0).

This is an RC release, so there could be minor changes before 1.5.0 (final). But most teams can start using this, especially those who need Java 17 and the CVE resolutions.

Notable Improvements

• CVE resolution
• Java DSL for Gatling - see example
