v2.1

Overview for 2.1

After a long hiatus without releases, this version simplifies the packaging of
Hamcrest into a single jar: hamcrest-<version>.jar. Other big changes include
Java 9 module compatibility, migrating the code repository from Google Code to
GitHub, along with numerous other new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Breaking Changes for 2.1

• The way that the project is packaged has changed. This may cause problems with
  correctly upgrading transitive dependencies. Refer to the
  Hamcrest Distributables
  documentation for more information, and in particular,
  Upgrading from Hamcrest 1.x
• org.hamcrest.Factory has been removed. This was only used in old implementations
  of the hamcrest build toolchain, and can safely be deleted from client code without
  any effect.
