v1.5.0

Breaking Changes

• Karate 1.5.0 requires Java 17
• The Maven group-id has changed from com.intuit.karate to io.karatelabs

So the only change should be to your pom.xml or gradle.build.

There are no other syntax or behavior breaking changes, so this should be a smooth upgrade for your tests. The Java APIs (package names) have not changed. They will change only in a future release (most likely 1.6.0).

Notable Improvements

• Support for Java 22+
• CVE resolutions
• Java DSL for Gatling - see example
• Playwright Support

Here is a complete list of all issues fixed in this release.
