notes

I’d like to bisect between 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, though I can’t do it at this point. I just wanted to raise awareness, as this breaks https://github.com/marconilanna/REPLesent at the sbt console

sbt version: 1.1.2+

@ivan-awake i created a file ~/.sbt/1.0/plugins/console.sbt with the following content and it seems to work:

initialize ~= (_ => sys.props("scala.repl.maxprintstring") = "10000" )
