- Allow `publish` plugins to return an `Object` with information related to the releases
- Add the `success` plugin hook, called when all `publish` are successful, receiving a list of release
- Add the `fail` plugin hook, called when an error happens at any point, receiving a list of errors
- Add detailed message for each error
Adds the options `extends`, which can be defined via configuration file or CLI arguments to a single path or an array of paths of shareable configuration.
A shareable configuration is a file or a module that can be loaded with `require`.
Options is defined by merging in the following order of priority:
- CLI/API
- Configuration file
- Shareable configuration (from right to left)
Options set in a shareable configuration can be unset by setting it to `null` or `undefined` in the main configuration file. If a default value applies to this property it will be used.
BREAKING CHANGE: Each plugin is expected to return an async function or a Promise returning function. The callback parameter is not passed to plugins anymore.
- Add a new plugin type: `publish`
- Add support for multi-plugin. A plugin module can now return an object with a property for each plugin type
- Uses by default [npm](https://github.com/semantic-release/npm) and [github](https://github.com/semantic-release/github) in addition of Travis for the verify condition plugin
- Uses by default [npm](https://github.com/semantic-release/npm) and [github](https://github.com/semantic-release/github) for the publish plugin
- `gitTag` if one can be found is passed to `generateNotes` for both `lastRelease` and `nextRelease`
- `semantic-release` now verifies the plugin configuration (in the `release` property of `package.json`) and throws an error if it's invalid
- `semantic-release` now verifies each plugin output and will throw an error if a plugin returns an unexpected value.
BREAKING CHANGE: `githubToken`, `githubUrl` and `githubApiPathPrefix` have to be set at the [github](https://github.com/semantic-release/github) plugin level. They can be set via `GH_TOKEN`, `GH_URL` and `GH_PREFIX` environment variables.
BREAKING CHANGE: the `npm` parameter is not passed to any plugin anymore. Each plugin have to read `.npmrc` if they needs to (with https://github.com/kevva/npm-conf for example).
