https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/compare/v3.1.0...v3.2.0

• Minor changes:
  • Added keys method to Server properties to allow introspection of automatically added properties.

  • Amended the git check command, "ls-remote", to use "-h", limiting the list to refs/heads

3.1.0

https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/compare/v3.0.1...v3.1.0

Breaking changes:

• deploy:restart task is no longer run by default. From this version, developers who restart the app on each deploy need to declare it in their deploy flow (eg after 'deploy:publishing', 'deploy:restart').

  Please, check 4e6523e1f5 for more information. (@kirs)

• Minor changes

  • Tasks that used linked_dirs and linked_files now run on all roles, not just app roles (@mikespokefire)
  • Tasks deploy:linked_dirs, deploy:make_linked_dirs, deploy:linked_files, deploy:cleanup_rollback, deploy:log_revision and deploy:revert_release now use release_roles() not roles() meaning that they will only run on servers where the no_release property is not falsy. (@leehambley)
  • Fixed bug when deploy:cleanup was executed twice by default (@kirs)
  • Config location can now be changed with deploy_config_path and stage_config_path options (@seenmyfate)
  • no_release option is now available (@seenmyfate)
  • Raise an error if developer tries to define :all role, which is reserved (@kirs)
  • deploy:failed hook was added to add some custom behaviour on failed deploy (@seenmyfate)
  • Correctly infer namespace in task enhancements (@seenmyfate)
  • Add SHA to revision log (@blackxored)
  • Allow configuration of multiple servers with same hostname but different ports (@rsslldnphy)
  • Add command line option to control role filtering (@andytinycat)
  • Make use of recent changes in Rake to over-ride the application name (@shime)
  • Readme corrections (@nathanstitt)
  • Allow roles to be fetched with a variable containing an array (@seenmyfate)
  • Improve console (@jage)
  • Add ability to filter tasks to specific servers (host filtering). (@andytinycat)
  • Add a command line option to control role filter (--roles) (@andytinycat)
  • Use an SCM object with a pluggable strategy (@coffeeaddict)

Big thanks to @Kriechi for his help.

3.0.0

https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/compare/2.15.5...v3.0.0

If you are coming here to wonder why your Capfile doesn't work anymore, please vendor lock your Capistrano at 2.x, whichever version was working for you until today.

Capistrano 3 is a ground-up rewrite with modularity, stability, speed and future proofing in mind. It's a big change, but now the code is 10x smaller, runs faster, is easier to read, and quicker to extend. In the reduction we've come up with a great gem based modular system for plugins and we're really proud of this release.

The 3.0.0 release contains 38 patches from the following amazing people:

• Tom seenmyfate Clements: more than 28 patches including cucumber integration tests! Not to mention Rails asset pipeline code, and bundler integrations.

• Lee Hambley: Small changes around compatibility and log formatting

• Kir Shatrov: for improvements in the core to make it easier to write extensions, for improving documentation, and for effectively building the chruby, rvm and rbenv integrations.

• Michael Nikitochkin: Fixing a bug around linked files and directories.

• Jack Thorne: for improvements to the default Capfile to fix some bad example syntax.

• Erik Hetzner: for (what looks like great) work on the Mercurial (Hg) support. The Hg and Git source control mechanisms do not work the same way, but rather lean on the strengths of the underlying tools.

  (If I missed anyone, I'm sorry, your contributions have been awesome)

The 2.x branch of code is now no longer maintained. Towards the end of it's useful life there were an increasing number of features and pieces of code which didn't make sense for certain groups of people, in certain situations, leading a to a ping-pong tennis effect with pull requests every few weeks "fixing" a use-case which had already been "fixed" shortly before. As many of the use-cases are outside the scope of the testing environments I (and by extension the trusted contributors and IRC regulars) were able to test for.

There's a more extensive post about my failure to be able to keep up with the demands of maintaining v2 whilst trying to build something which is appropriate for the current landscape. If you are affected by the unsupported 2 branch, please contact me (Lee Hambley) to discuss how my company can help support you. Otherwise, please try v3, we're sure you'll like it, and the code is designed to be so simple that anyone can work on it.

• Change the flow (and hooks) see http://www.capistranorb.com/documentation/getting-started/flow/ for more information. Requires min SSHKit 0.0.34 (@teohm)
• Fix sorting releases in lexicographical order (@teohm)

3.0.0.pre12

• capistrano/bundler now runs bundle on all roles, this addresses the same issue as the related changes in pre11. (@leehambley)

3.0.0.pre11

• Some deploy.rake tasks now apply to all servers, not expecting a primary(:app) server which may not exist in all deploy environments. (@leehambley).

• Fixes a syntax error introduced with filtering (with tests) introduced in pre8. (@leehambley)

• Capfile template fixes (repo/repo_url) (@teohm)
