The last release of ScalaCheck was on Apr-22 2018.

Here's a proposal for a release:

1.14.1

Here are things already merged to master since 1.14.0:

• Fix Arbitrary[Option[T]] so it is equivalent to Gen[Option[T]] Discrepancy between Gen and Arbitrary for Option #401
• Allow Gen.oneOf to take argument of Iterable Widen "oneOf" argument to "Iterable" from "Seq" #438
• Fix compilation error in Cogen with Scala 2.11.12 partially revert #395 #403
• Update Scala.js 1.x to 1.0.0-M6 Upgrade to Scala.js 1.0.0-M6. #460

• Fix compilation error in pretty-printer for Java 11 and later work around scala/bug#11125 #430

• Test for Gen.pick should be more succinct Cleanup test for Gen.pick #450
• Add support for Either[T] Add Gen.either #409

• Fix stackoverflow of Pretty.break Make Pretty.break tail recursive #476.
• Improve errors for test parameters Improve errors for test parameters #497.

There are a few PRs that are candidates but they need more review:

• Fixes for Dotty compiler Changes to scalacheck to cross compile with Dotty #423
• Overridding Properties.overrideParameters doesn't override parameters Allow Properties.overrideParameters to work correctly. #463

@ashawley What was your reason for closing this? I think a new ScalaCheck release in the near future sounds like a good idea, and it looks like you did thorough research before opening this issue?

[nrinaudo]

I’d vote for merging #468, since the command api is barely usable (for me) without that fix

[ashawley]

And there's a good chance that #468, failure to shrink Commands, could be causing secondary problems, such as #476.

It looks like 1.14.1 might not be far off. Is there anything I can do to help with the release?

[ashawley]

I've added Dotty fixes in #423 to the list above, since it seems safe to include in 1.14.1.

A lot has been merged, so I updated the list above.
