collections inside node fails for plantuml-8059.jar

Question

using plantuml jar version: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sourceforge/plantuml/plantuml/8059/plantuml-8059.jar with 

@startuml

frame "EKS" {
  component "Schema Poller" as sp
  collections "Service Gateways" as pg
  component "Platform \nFoundation \nGateway" as pfg
}

@enduml

passes online, fails with local file generation command: 

java -jar libs/plantuml.jar -o png -tpng *.pu

error: line 5, Syntax Error?

It doesn't like having `collections` nested inside `frame`?
I've also tried collections outside the frame with the same syntax error result.

Hello A.,

The V8059 is a very old version.

• Could you update with a later or most recent version?

Like :

• 1.YYYY.nn
• 1.2020.nn
• 1.2021.1
  • https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sourceforge/plantuml/plantuml/1.2021.1/

For PlantUML version spec. see:

• https://plantuml.com/versioning-scheme

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

that is a huge relief, thanks.

FYI maven central thinks 8059 is the latest version.
