0.3.3

• [Improvement] Updated Yams
• [Improvement] Updated to Swift 5.4

Better performance for nested archery calls

• [Improvement] Nested $ARCHERY invocations will now prefer $ARCHERY_METADATA instead of parsing the Archerfile again
• [Improvement] Modernized the Archerfile contents created by the init command

Loaders and Environments

A different overview can be found at vknabel.com/pages/Archery-0-3-0-released.

• [Breaking] Mint will not be bundled with Archery anymore and needs to be installed manually when using legacy Arrows.
• [Breaking] Requires Swift 5.
• [Addition] Generate new metadata by loaders.
• [Addition] Passes custom environment variables to all scripts and arrows: ARCHERY, ARCHERY_METADATA, ARCHERY_SCRIPT, ARCHERY_API_LEVEL, ARCHERY_LEGACY_MINT_PATH.
• [Addition] Scripts can now be run in sequence with just an array literal do-all: [first, second, third]
• [Improvement] vknabel/ArcheryArrow implicitly uses the new scripting API and does not require compilation anymore.
• [Improvement] Scripts can now be run in sequence without using arrow: vknabel/ArcheryArrow
• [Improvement] Bash scripts do not require arrow: vknabel/BashArrow anymore.
• [Improvement] vknabel/BashArrow implicitly uses the new scripting API and does not require compilation anymore.
• [Deprecation] The classical arrow-script type will be deprecated and will be removed in far future.

Upcoming Breaking Changes

Previously all scripts were defined as arrow: a separate Swift Package accepting specific arguments, being installed using Mint. This mechanism is now deprecated and will be replaced by plain scripts and environment variables.

Please note the arrow-shorthand syntax script-name: your/Arrow deprecated in version 0.2.1 is still available and has not been removed yet.

Bash Shorthands and Interrupts

0.2.1

• Bumped internal dependencies
• Correctly passes interrupts
• Shorthand arrow syntax will be migrated to vknabel/BashArrow commands

Upcoming Breaking Change

Currently when passing a named string as a script, it will be expanded as arrow: your/Arrow.
The new behavior will run the provided string as a command line script as arrow: BashArrow and command: your script.
Until the next breaking update, repo names will still work as previously.
All strings containing exactly one /, no space and which do not start with a ., will still be treated as arrow.

scripts:
  # Deprecated shorthand
  example: "vknabel/BeakArrow" # this would run the arrow
  # New behavior
  format: "swiftformat ." # this would run a `vknabel/BashArrow` command

YAML Support

Archerfile supports YAML

Especially if your Archerfile contains descriptions it will get hard to read soon.
As a better format we replaced JSON with YAML, which is a superset of JSON and hence won’t break your configs.
As the Archerfile should not be read directly, this update won’t break arrows.
