for #2543
BREAKING CHANGE: semantic-release is now ESM-only. since it is used through its own executable, the impact on consuming projects should be minimal
BREAKING CHANGE: references to plugin files in configs need to include the file extension because of executing in an ESM context
the performance and readability of reduce is not a concern in this project since maintainers are
familiar with the idiom and are iterating over small lists. the filter rule is disabled selectively
since the filter being identified is not Array.filter
closes#2403
- 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).
- Run with one command and do not rely on error exit codes to stop the process when a release is not necessary
- Break `index.js` in smaller modules in order to improve testability and simplify the code
- Add several missing unit and integration tests to reach 100% coverage
- Integration tests now test end to end, including publishing to Github (with http://www.mock-server.com on Docker)
- Use `tj/commander.js` to print an help message, verify and parse CLI arguments
- Semantic-release can now be called via Javascript API: `require('semantic-release')(options)`
- Remove npmlog dependency and add more log messages
- Logger is now passed to plugins
- Add debug logs with `visionmedia/debug`. `debug` is enabled for both semantic-release and plugins with `--debug`
- Use `kevva/npm-conf` in place of the deprecated `npm/npmconf`
- Pass lastRelease, nextRelease and commits to generate-notes plugin
- In dry-run mode, print the release note instead of publishing it to Github as draft, and skip the CI verifications
- The dry-run mode does not require npm and Github TOKEN to be set anymore and can be run locally
BREAKING CHANGE: Semantic-Release must now be executed with `semantic-release` instead of `semantic-release pre && npm publish && semantic-release post`.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `semantic-release` command now returns with exit code 0 on expected exception (no release has to be done, running on a PR, gitHead not found, other CI job failed etc...). It only returns with 1 when there is an unexpected error (code error in a plugin, plugin not found, git command cannot be run etc..).
BREAKING CHANGE: Calling the `semantic-release` command with unexpected argument(s) now exit with 1 and print an help message.
BREAKING CHANGE: Semantic-Release does not rely on `npmlog` anymore and the log level cannot be configured. Debug logs can be activated with CLI option `--debug` or with environment variable `DEBUG=semantic-release:*`
BREAKING CHANGE: The CLI options `--debug` doesn't enable the dry-run mode anymore but activate the debugs. The dry run mode is now set with the CLI command `--dry-run` or `-d`.
