New aliases for RC and nightly Scala versions
This Scala CLI version introduces dedicated aliases for calling the latest Scala Release Candidate versions in a given series (including LTS).
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S rc
# 3.8.1-RC1
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S 3.rc
# 3.8.1-RC1
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S 3.8.rc
# 3.8.1-RC1
scala-cli -e 'println(dotty.tools.dotc.config.Properties.simpleVersionString)' -S 3.lts.rc --with-compiler
# 3.3.7-RC2
scala-cli -e 'println(dotty.tools.dotc.config.Properties.simpleVersionString)' -S lts.rc --with-compiler
# 3.3.7-RC2
Dedicated default and LTS nightly aliases are also provided.
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S nightly
# 3.8.2-RC1-bin-20260115-6151803-NIGHTLY
scala-cli -e 'println(dotty.tools.dotc.config.Properties.simpleVersionString)' -S lts.nightly --with-compiler
# 3.3.8-RC1-bin-20260112-d35b2d4-NIGHTLY-git-d35b2d4
scala-cli -e 'println(dotty.tools.dotc.config.Properties.simpleVersionString)' -S 3.lts.nightly --with-compiler
# 3.3.8-RC1-bin-20260112-d35b2d4-NIGHTLY-git-d35b2d4
Also note that there is no easy way to identify an RC for Scala 2 / 2.12 / 2.13 (as a particular nightly serves as the RC for those Scala distributions).
A reasonable error is also provided when it is requested.
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S 2.rc
# Invalid Scala version: 2.rc. In the case of Scala 2, a particular nightly version serves as a release candidate.
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S 2.12.rc
# Invalid Scala version: 2.12.rc. In the case of Scala 2, a particular nightly version serves as a release candidate.
scala-cli -e 'println(scala.util.Properties.versionNumberString)' -S 2.13.rc
# Invalid Scala version: 2.13.rc. In the case of Scala 2, a particular nightly version serves as a release candidate.

scala-cli export mill-1-0-6-export.scala --mill --mill-version 1.0.6 --power
