Legacy Prerelease Announcement
2013-09-09 00:00:00 -0700We 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
