⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • Java 17 Required — LDDTool and the Information Model now require Java Development Kit 17 or higher. Applications and build systems using Java 11 or earlier will no longer work.

    Who is affected: All users of LDDTool, data providers generating LDDs, and developers building from source.

    What breaks: Running LDDTool with Java 11 or earlier will fail with compatibility errors.

    How to migrate:

    1. Install Java 17 or higher from your package manager or Adoptium
    2. Verify installation: java -version (should show version 17+)
    3. Update CI/CD pipelines and build scripts to use Java 17
    4. Rebuild any custom integrations using the new JDK

    (#968, #971)

Highlights

  • Java 17 upgrade ensures compatibility with PDS validate 3.8+ and modern dependencies (#971)

  • Additional units: Added mrad/pixel to Units_of_Pixel_Resolution_Angular per CCB-38 (#812)
  • Spectral radiance units: Added permissible values to units of spectral radiance per CCB-47 (#840)
  • Current units: Added micro amps and nano amps as units of current per CCB-16 (#791)
  • Array_1D_Spectrum: Created new Array_1D_Spectrum class and added to multiple file areas per CCB-42 (#810, #811)
