Latest shiro release broke my webapp [ shiro-all-1.5.1.jar ] - shiro

Question

I upgraded my webapp with the latest shiro release 1.5.1 and suddenly it doesn't work anymore. Here the log error:
GRAVE: Shiro environment initialization failed
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/shiro/cache/CacheManagerAware
and here's my shiro.ini that seems to be the culprit:
[main]
jdbcRealm = org.apache.shiro.realm.jdbc.JdbcRealm
jdbcRealm.permissionsLookupEnabled = true
ds = com.mysql.cj.jdbc.MysqlDataSource
ps = org.apache.shiro.authc.credential.DefaultPasswordService
pm = org.apache.shiro.authc.credential.PasswordMatcher
jdbcRealmCredentialsMatcher = org.apache.shiro.authc.credential.Sha256CredentialsMatcher
ds.serverName = localhost
ds.serverTimezone=Europe/Berlin
ds.databaseName = ******
ds.user = *******
ds.password = ********
jdbcRealm.credentialsMatcher = $jdbcRealmCredentialsMatcher
jdbcRealm.dataSource = $ds
pm.passwordService = $ps
jdbcRealm.credentialsMatcher = $pm
shiro.loginUrl = /login.jsp
shiro.postOnlyLogout = true
securityManager.realms = $jdbcRealm
securityManager.rememberMeManager.cipherKey = kPH+bIxk5D2deZiIxcaaaA==
When I go back to the shiro-all-1.4.2.jar version everything is working fine again.
I have even tried to add these 2 lines to my shiro.ini main section but they didn't fix the problem
cacheManager = org.apache.shiro.cache.MemoryConstrainedCacheManager
securityManager.cacheManager = $cacheManager

I can confirm the issue, this should be fixed in the next release.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-749
In addition, the "all" module will likely be deprecated in the future, I'd strongly advise against using them but instead using just the modules you need (for example maybe you just need shiro-web.
The temporary fix is:
a.) also add a dependency to shiro-cache
b.) remove the usage of shiro-all by using the module you need (shiro-web, shiro-guice, etc)
Either way, thanks for the report, we well get this fixed soon!
