JSAMP update

[Mark Taylor]

Hi apps,

as promised in my email of a couple of days ago I have made an
update JSAMP release, v1.3.8, with modifications that enable
the Hub Web Profile implementation to cope with Private Network
Access-related restrictions in (at least) recent versions of
Google Chrome.

If you are bundling a JSAMP hub with your application, you are
advised to upgrade to this newer version.

You can find jsamp-1.3.8.jar at https://www.star.bristol.ac.uk/mbt/jsamp/
or on the Maven central repository under groupId uk.ac.starlink
(https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/uk.ac.starlink/jsamp).
This release does not include a signed jar file; I'm not sure I can
do much about that, but if that fact inconveniences anybody I'd
at least be interested to know.

This is the first JSAMP release since 2019 and although it still
works it's looking a bit old and creaky - no generics and the
build is currently done using javac 1.4 source and target flags,
which are unsupported in recent JDK versions.
I *may* make a new release with the API updated to use generics
in the forseeable future (if you're keen to see that, feel free
to lobby me).

Mark
