Legacy Prerelease Announcement

We are finalizing work on the "legacy" Albacore gem. The internals of Albacore are pretty messy and need a refresh. We'll be talking more about this later. For now, know that we are working to stabilize and release a proper 1.0 version of Albacore and it will be the last legacy release (except critical bug fixes and patches, more on that process later, as well).

Right now, Albacore has a nasty Rubyzip dependency bug that will cause Albacore not to load. You need to install this version to work around that.

> gem install albacore --version '~> 1.0.rc'

or, in your Gemfile

gem "albacore", "~> 1.0.rc"

We've been sitting on a handful of new features and other fixes

• Added the tag parameter to the FluentMigrator task
• Added the force parameter to the Unzip task to allow overriding destination files
• Added the target_platform parameter in the ILMerge task
• Added support for renaming directories in the Output task
• Added support for adding comments to the top of an Assembly Info file
• Fixed a file name bug in the Zip task
• Fixed a reference file bug in the NuSpec task
• Fixed a VB.NET assembly attribute bug in the AssemblyInfo task
• Fixed the RubyZip 1.0.0 dependency breaking-change bug
• Changed the Zip task to preserve the directory structure by default. You have to call the flatten_zip method explicitly now.
• Dropped Ruby 1.8.7 and IronRuby support, added Ruby 2.0.0, and targeted the JRuby "head" version
