- Remove the `getLastRelease` plugin type
- Retrieve the last release based on Git tags
- Create the next release Git tag before calling the `publish` plugins
BREAKING CHANGE: Remove the `getLastRelease` plugin type
The `getLastRelease` plugins will not be called anymore.
BREAKING CHANGE: Git repository authentication is now mandatory
The Git authentication is now mandatory and must be set via `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GL_TOKEN`, `GITLAB_TOKEN` or `GIT_CREDENTIALS` as described in [CI configuration](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/blob/caribou/docs/usage/ci-configuration.md#authentication).
- Remove `@semantic-release/condition-travis` from the default plugins
- Verify the current branch in the core
- Verify the build is not triggered by a PR in the core
- Run in dry-run mode if not triggered on CI
- Dry-run mode runs the `verifyConditions` plugins, allowing to detect configuration error locally
- Return without error when no version has to be released due to no changes
- Return without error if the build is triggered from a PR
- Return without error if the current branch is not the configured branch
- CLI return with exit code 1 if there is a `semanticReleaseError`, allowing to fail builds in case of config error, missing token etc...
BREAKING CHANGE: `semantic-release` doesn't make sure it runs only on one Travis job anymore.
The CI configuration has to be done such that `semantic-release`
- runs only once per build
- runs only after all tests are successful on every jobs of the build
- runs on Node >=8
This can easily be done with [travis-deploy-once](https://github.com/semantic-release/travis-deploy-once).
Migration Guide
Modify your `.travis.yml` to use `travis-deploy-once`.
Replace:
```yaml
after_success:
- npm run semantic-release
```
by:
Replace
```yaml
after_success:
- npm install -g travis-deploy-once@4
- travis-deploy-once "npm run semantic-release"
```
- 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).
