CHANGELOG

v0.9.0.rc1 - 2019-01-11

Breaking changes:

• Dependency solver was overhauled;
• Git tag refs that match a version number are now an actual version (i.e. tag: v1.0.0 is converted to version: 1.0.0).

Features:

• Update specified shards only, trying to keep other shards to their locked version if possible;
• Add --local argument to use the cache as-is, allowing to skip git fetches when you know the cache is up-to-date;
• Add the outdated command to list dependencies that could be updated (matching constraints) as well as their latest version; including pre-release versions on demand.
• Add the lock command that behaves like the install and update commands but that only creates a lockfile, and doesn't install anything.

Fixes:

• Transitive dependencies are now available to all installed shards, allowing postinstall scripts to compile any Crystal application;
• Don't consider metadata when considering a pre-release version number.

v0.9.0.beta - 2019-01-11

Breaking changes:

• A shard.yml spec is now required in libraries.
• Drop support for obsolete Projectfile.

Features:

• Experimental support for prereleases. Add a letter to a version number to declare a pre-release. For example 1.2.3.alpha or 1.0.0-rc1.
• Ignore semver metadata (+abc).

Fixes:

• Approximate operator used to match invalid version numbers (e.g. ~> 0.1.0 wrongly matched 0.10.0).
• Unbalanced version numbers, such as 1.0.0 and 1.0.0.1 are now correctly ordered and compared as 1.0.0.1 > 1.0.0.
• Force the 'v' prefix in version tags.
• install -t isn't supported on macOS.

v0.8.1 - 2018-06-17

Fixes:

• Git repositories cloned with v0.8.0 can't fetch new remote refs anymore, which totally broke the update command.
• The Path resolver incorrectly handled invalid symlinks.

v0.8.0 - 2018-06-05 [REVOKED]

Features:

• Install shard executables inside project bin folder on shard install. See #126.

Changes:

• Global cache for cloned Git repositories, aside crystal cache (e.g. ~/.cache/shards). Customizable with SHARDS_CACHE_PATH.
• Clone bare Git repositories instead of creating mirrors (fetch should be faster, and less space required on disk).
• Man pages are now in the man folder.
• Allow loose shard versioning, accepting semver-like versions and alternatives such as calver.

Fixes:

• Compatibility with Crystal 0.25.
