- Do not rely on `package.json` anymore
- Use `cosmiconfig` to load the configation. `semantic-release` can be configured:
- via CLI options (including plugin names but not plugin options)
- in the `release` property of `package.json` (as before)
- in a `.releaserc.yml` or `.releaserc.js` or `.releaserc.js` or `release.config.js` file
- in a `.releaserc` file containing `json`, `yaml` or `javascript` module
- Add the `repositoryUrl` options (used across `semantic-release` and plugins). The value is determined from CLi option, or option configuration, or package.json or the git remote url
- Verifies that `semantic-release` runs from a git repository
- `pkg` and `env` are not passed to plugin anymore
- `semantic-release` can be run both locally and globally. If ran globally with non default plugins, the plugins can be installed both globally or locally.
BREAKING CHANGE: `pkg` and `env` are not passed to plugin anymore.
Plugins relying on a `package.json` must verify the presence of a valid `package.json` and load it.
Plugins can use `process.env` instead of `env`.
