3.7.0

v3.6.1...v3.7.0

Note: These release notes include all changes since 3.6.1, including the changes that were first published in 3.7.0.beta1.

Deprecations:

• The set :scm, ... mechanism is now deprecated in favor of a new SCM plugin system. See the UPGRADING-3.7 document for details

Potentially breaking changes:

• The :git_strategy, :hg_strategy, and :svn_strategy settings have been removed with no replacement. If you have been using these to customize Capistrano's SCM behavior, you will need to rewrite your customization using the new plugin system
• remote_file feature has been removed and is no longer available to use @SaiVardhan

New features:

• The tar used by the Git SCM now honors the SSHKit command map, allowing an alternative tar binary to be used (e.g. gtar) #1787 (@caius)
• Add support for custom on-filters #1776

Fixes:

• Fix test suite to work with Mocha 1.2.0 (@caius)
• Fix bug where host_filter and role_filter were overly greedy #1766 (@cseeger-epages)
• Fix the removal of old releases deploy:cleanup. Logic is changed because of unreliable modification times on folders. Removal of directories is now decided by sorting on folder names (name is generated from current datetime format YmdHis). Cleanup is skipped, and a warning is given when a folder name is in a different format

3.7.0.beta1

v3.6.1...v3.7.0.beta1

Deprecations:

• The set :scm, ... mechanism is now deprecated in favor of a new SCM plugin
  system. See the UPGRADING-3.7 document for details.

Potentially breaking changes:

• The :git_strategy, :hg_strategy, and :svn_strategy settings have been
  removed with no replacement. If you have been using these to customize
  Capistrano's SCM behavior, you will need to rewrite your customization using
  the new plugin system.
• remote_file feature has been removed and is no longer available to use @SaiVardhan

New features:

• Fix bug where host_filter and role_filter were overly greedy #1766 (@cseeger-epages)

3.6.1

v3.6.0...v3.6.1

Fixes:

• Restore compatibility with older versions of Rake (< 11.0.0) (@troelskn)
• Fix NoMethodError: undefined method gsub when setting :application to a Proc. The original fix released in 3.6.0 worked for values specified with blocks, but not for those specified with procs or lambdas (the latter syntax is much more common). #1681
• Fix a bug where deploy would fail if :local_user contained a space; spaces are now replaced with dashes when computing the git-ssh suffix. (@will_in_wi)
