* Allow password to be reentered on sudo if it was entered incorrectly
* Use && as the command separator for the checkouts, so that errors are caught early.

* Require Net::SSH 1.0.5
== 0.9.0 / October 18th, 2005

* Add diff_from_last_deploy to the rails switchtower rakefile template
* Add diff_from_last_deploy task (currently only works with subversion)
* Add deploy_with_migrations task.
* Make the migrate task more customizable.
* If no password is given with the -p switch, prompt for password immediately.
* Do not install a switchtower stub in the script directory. Assume the switchtower executable is in the path.
* Remove trailing newlines from commands to prevent trailing backslash #2141
* Default parameters work correctly with the generator #2218 [Scott Barron]
* Attempt to require 'rubygems' explicitly when running the switchtower utility #2134
* Make default tasks work only on app/db/web roles, so that additional roles may be created for boxes with specific needs without needing to (for instance) deploy the app to those boxes
* Default the application name to "Application" when using --apply-to
* Show the help screen instead of an error when no arguments are given
* Make SwitchTower easier to invoke programmatically via SwitchTower::CLI
* Specify the revision to release via the :revision variable (defaults to latest revision)
* Allow variables to be set via the cli using the -s switch
* Log checkouts to a "revisions.log" file
* Changed behavior of checkout to use the timestamp as the release name, instead of the revision number
* Added CVS module (very very experimental!)
* Works with public keys now, for passwordless deployment
* Subversion module recognizes the password prompt for HTTP authentication

= Capistrano
Capistrano is a utility and framework for executing commands in parallel on multiple remote machines, via SSH. It uses a simple DSL (borrowed in part from Rake, http://rake.rubyforge.org/) that allows you to define _tasks_, which may be applied to machines in certain roles. It also supports tunneling connections via some gateway machine to allow operations to be performed behind VPN's and firewalls.
Capistrano was originally designed to simplify and automate deployment of web applications to distributed environments, and originally came bundled with a set of tasks designed for deploying Rails applications. The deployment tasks are now (as of Capistrano 2.0) opt-in and require clients to explicitly put
"load 'deploy'" in their recipes.
== Documentation
We know that documentation is something that really lets us down, that's why there is a repository for a handbook below, please open an issue on it if you would like something documented:
* http://github.com/leehambley/capistrano-handbook
If you prefer the wiki style of documentation, then please see our wiki
* http://wiki.capify.org
Due to a failure of MySQL with PHP, searches shorter than three characters are all but ignored, we're going to rectify this, but in the meantime, please do what you can, tickets opened on the handbook for the wiki will be answered too, so please let us know if you don't find something you needed.
We take bug reports via lighthouse app, you can find that page here:
* http://capistrano.lighthouseapp.com
More documentation is on the way, if in doubt try opening the recipes that ship with capistrano.
== DEPENDENCIES
* Net::SSH v2 (http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org)
* Net::SFTP v2 (http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org)
* Net::SCP v1 (http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org)
* Net::SSH::Gateway v1 (http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org)
* HighLine (http://highline.rubyforge.org)
If you want to run the tests, you'll also need to have the following dependencies installed:
* Echoe (for the Rakefile)
* Mocha (http://mocha.rubyforge.org)
== ASSUMPTIONS
Capistrano is "opinionated software", which means it has very firm ideas about how things ought to be done, and tries to force those ideas on you. Some of the assumptions behind these opinions are:
* You are using SSH to access the remote servers.
* You either have the same password to all target machines, or you have public keys in place to allow passwordless access to them.
Do not expect these assumptions to change.
== USAGE
In general, you'll use Capistrano as follows:
* Create a recipe file ("capfile" or "Capfile").
* Use the +cap+ script to execute your recipe.
Use the +cap+ script as follows:
cap sometask
By default, the script will look for a file called one of +capfile+ or +Capfile+. The +someaction+ text indicates which task to execute. You can do "cap -h" to see all the available options and "cap -T" to see all the available tasks.
== Capistrano Edge
If you want to try Capistrano code that hasn't been formerly released yet, this repository now includes a gemspec that should build what you need, here's how to get a copy:
git clone git://github.com/capistrano/capistrano.git capistrano-capistrano
cd capistrano-capsitrano
rake package
sudo gem install pkg/capistrano-*.gem
This will install the most recent version of capistrano and make it available for both cap, and capify.
We recommend that you capify a new test application, as the resulting files are different to previous versions.
If you have multiple versions of capistrano (or indeed any gem with a binary) installed, you can call `cap` like so to specify which version to use:
cap _2.5.5_ deploy
cap _2.5.6_ deploy:setup
