Next Release

0.2.0 (January 6, 2015)

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

Customizations have been heavily simplified and the resulting syntax is no longer valid with Otto 0.2. Upgrading your Appfiles to the new format is very simple. Please see the customizations documentation for more information.

FEATURES:

New App Type: python: Detect, develop, and deploy Python applications.
New App Type: java: Detect, develop, and deploy Java applications.
Layered Dev Environments: Dev environments are now layered. Each layer is cached. When bringing up a new development environment, cached layers are used to speed it up immensely.
App Type Plugins: You can now add custom app types (or even override Otto's built-in types) using app type plugins. Want to support a new language? A new framework? App type plugins are for you.
ScriptPacks: Libraries of pure shell code that app types use to interact with the OS.

IMPROVEMENTS:

app/ruby: Automatically detect desired Ruby version and install it [GH-293]
