0.8.1 |
|
I'm happy to announce BoxGrinder Build 0.8.1. This is a bugfix release. Please refer to the Release Notes below for a full list of bugfixes.
This release is immediately available from BoxGrinder stable repo and will be available shortly in Fedora Rawhide.
In this release I fixed some gem dependency issues. Currently we have 11 plugins for BoxGrinder Build. Keeping the gemspec and RPM spec files up to date with the proper versions of all of the dependencies is difficult. I'm therefore considering including all of the plugins into the boxgrinder-build gem.
- Simpler install - all of the plugins would be available with one install
- Simpler release process
- All of the plugins with their dependencies would be installed, resulting in a bigger dependency tree
- Plugins you're not interested in would be installed too

BoxGrinder Build 0.8.0 was released almost two weeks ago, but it hasn't yet made it into Fedora (you can of course download the latest releases from our repositories, you don't need to wait for Fedora packages) due to BGBUILD-165. With BGBUILD-165 now fixed, 0.8.x can be added to Fedora, though I haven't decided whether 0.8.x should land in Fedora 13 and 14. If you have any thoughts on this, please leave a comment.
