Hi Everyone,
jMonkeyEngine v3.7.0-stable is now available for everyone to use! 
The latest Beta 1.2.2 version has shown no significant issues and is already being used by the SDK, which gives us great confidence in this stable release.
I’d like to extend my gratitude to all the contributors for their pull requests, all the reviewers for their reviews and suggestions and all of those who where kind enough to answer my questions in private messages and on GitHub discussions. Special thanks to @sgold for his incredible patience and detailed explanations throughout the release process. I’ve learned a lot along the way.
I focused on merging as many open PRs as possible, especially those that seemed significant, as long as they were tested and trusted by the author, didn’t conflict with other PRs, and there were no strong objections from the community.
a simple getting started gradle script using v3.7.0 stable should look something like this:
plugins {
id 'java'
}
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
def jme3 = [v:'3.7.0-stable', g:'org.jmonkeyengine']
dependencies {
compile "${jme3.g}:jme3-core:${jme3.v}"
runtime "${jme3.g}:jme3-desktop:${jme3.v}"
runtime "${jme3.g}:jme3-plugins:${jme3.v}"
runtime "${jme3.g}:jme3-lwjgl:${jme3.v}"
}
Cheers!
