v0.5.0

Release Notes

• Registers are now implemented as previously described in the specification. Thanks to this, tasks can pass values to other tasks. Check Dog's own dogfile for examples of this.
• Dogfile.yml is now called dog.yml. It looks cleaner and it follows the convention that yaml files are normal definition files so they don't start with caps, different classification from Makefile/Dockerfile/etc.
• Removed most runners because no one was going to use them. I implemented them initially because it was easy but I wasn't interested in using them either. sh and bash should be enough for now and they are pretty standard. I am not sure yet about Windows support so I removed it, modern Windows supports bash anyway.
• Much better formatting for task duration time.
• Added binaries for NetBSD and for ARM architecture. None of this (including Solaris and other BSDs) is tested at this point, help needed.
• Dockerfile included. Dog container can run tasks if provided with a dogfile as a mounted volume.
• Listing tasks includes their pre/post tasks.
• Debug mode (--debug) shows dog version, loaded dogfiles, path and other runtime info.
• Removed backwards compatibility, deprecation warnings, etc. It was cool as an experiment but this is v0.x so no need for it.
• Improved regular expressions for task names and dogfiles so implementation follows the specification.
• [Bugfix] Workdir directive works as documented now.
• License changed to Apache License Version 2.0.
• A lot of tests added.

v0.4.0

Release Notes

• The root of the repository now hosts the dog Go package, which implements logic for parsing and manipulating Dogfiles and for constructing and running task chains. The new package dog/run handles the low level execution of tasks. Dog (the cli tool) has been moved into the cmd/dog subdirectory. More info on the reasons for this change can be found in this pull request.
• GoDoc can be used to read the documentation of the new packages dog and dog/run.
• Changes in the Dogfile Spec: exec is now runner. run is now code. Backwards compatibility support has been added.
• Dog uses exit status 1 if the main program fails and exit status 2 if any of the task fails.
• Support for dotenv has been removed.
• Renamed status code to exit status. It was wrong.
• Some examples added into the examples/ directory to show how to use dog as a library.
• Stdout and Stderr can be configured when running a task chain. This way future dogtools can choose to write output to files or to the network instead of using the operating system's standard outputs.
• A Bash completion script has been added to extras/dog.bashcompletion.

v0.3.0

Release Notes

• Added option to specify Dogfile dir as a command line argument
• Improved documentation of the spec
• Fixed formatting errors introduced in previous release
• Fixed walking up filesystem when no Dogfile is found
• Removed option to provide environment variables using comand line arguments
• Removed Windows Support

v0.2.0

Release Notes

• Tasks without description are not listed. This is useful for tasks that are used as pre/post hooks for other tasks and are not meant to be called directly.
• Dog works from any subdirectory. When launched, it walks up the filesystem tree until a Dogfile is found. This is similar to how the git cli works.
• Users can override the task workdir at launch time. Example: dog -w /path/to/dir taskname.
• Updated instructions on how to install Dog, including homebrew and go get.
• Now Dog works with interactive tasks that read user input.
