1.2.0

Added

• Added support for release artifacts that use .tar.xz format (#100)

Fixed

• Fixed extraction of binaries from tarballs (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz)

1.1.1

Changed

• Prebuilt binaries for Rokit now use an older Ubuntu version (22.04) for better GLIBC compatibility

1.1.0

It's been almost a year since Rokit 1.0.0 - this maintenance release adds compatibility with more tooling versions and artifacts, and updates Rokit's internal dependencies.
It's also the first Rokit release with native ARM64 support across all major platforms. Otherwise, nothing has changed. Rokit 1.0.0 and above remain as stable as ever.

To update to this version, run rokit self-update. 🚀

Added

• Added support for GitHub releases that use an x.y versioning scheme such as the Luau CLI (#86)
• Added an extra hint for ensuring PATH is up to date, and that tools are runnable, after rokit install (#92)

Changed

• Improved artifact extraction for forked tools in specific circumstances (#82)
• Clarified messaging for subcommands when running rokit --help

1.0.0

Given that Rokit is already used in production by many Roblox developers, and many months have passed with no new major issues, it is time to release version 1.0.0.

This comes with a couple guarantees:

• We will not be making any breaking changes to Rokit in the foreseeable future, and if we do, we will release a new major version.
• Rokit's tool storage & tool artifact selection algorithms are stable, and safe to rely on in production environments.
• New features and subcommands may still be added, as long as they do not break existing functionality.

As always, run rokit self-update to update to the latest version of Rokit! 🚀

Changed

• Changed tool downloading to prefer compressed artifacts over uncompressed ones for quicker downloads (#76)

Fixed

• Fixed Rokit not being recognized as in PATH for system-info and self-install commands, unnecessarily prompting the user to restart (#74)
• Fixed tools such as lefthook, with compatible and incompatible artifacts within the same release, not installing correctly (#76)

0.2.5

Added

• Added support for tool artifacts compressed using gzip (.gz) (#73)

Changed

• Changed instructions in self-install command on Windows to tell the user to restart their computer instead of their terminal (#71)

Fixed

• Fixed a regression in the self-update command that prevented tool links from being updated

0.2.4

Added

• Added option to display Rokit's changelog in the terminal when running rokit self-update (#56)
• Added a --check flag to rokit update to check for updates without modifying any tools (#62)

Changed

• Removed unnecessary dependencies in the automatic installer script (#67)
• Changed the User-Agent header that Rokit uses for downloading tools to be more descriptive, hopefully resolving 403 Forbidden errors (#68)

0.2.3

Fixed

• Fixed cross-device link error when running self-install on Linux (#63)
• Fixed issues with standard I/O streams on Unix systems (#64)

0.2.2

Added

• Added a --skip-parse flag to rokit authenticate to skip token formatting checks

Fixed

• Fixed rokit authenticate not correctly verifying certain GitHub tokens (#60)

0.2.1

0.2.0

Added

• Added a new --verbose flag to CLI commands in Rokit for easier debugging when something goes wrong (#46)

Changed

• Removed warnings with additional information when searching for tool fallbacks, in favor of using the new --verbose flag (#46)

Fixed

• Fixed Rokit erroring on first startup due to some directories not yet being created (#42)
• Fixed selene and other tools not being installable because their releases contain multiple archives / binaries (#45)
