Release Notes (Page 7)

Version 1.0.0-rc0001 of Cake has been released

This version is the 110th release of Cake, but the first pre-release of Cake 1.0🎉 In this blog post, we will go through some of the major new features of 1.0, which platforms are supported, and how you can help to get Cake 1.0 released.

We've chosen to release 1.0 as a pre-release to NuGet and Chocolatey, so we and the community can more easily test and ensure that our 1.0 release will be as stable as possible. It will also enable us to see if there are any steps you need to take to adapt your scripts for 1.0, and for us to see if there're any unintended breaking changes, by testing as many addins, modules, and recipes as possible.

See Upgrade instructions for documentation about breaking changes in this release.

Version 0.38.5 of Cake has been released.

In this version, we've just addressed an issue where the upcoming .NET 5 wasn't identified as .NET Core application but .NET 4 / Mono.

This could cause issues with Cake.Tool for example when running .NET Framework executable on non-Windows platforms or scripts reused cross-runtime.

Even though .NET 5 isn't released, we choose to release this as a hotfix so early adopters wouldn't hit this roadblock, but also for our own dogfooding - as we're building Cake with Cake and have started the process of porting Cake to .NET 5.

Version 0.38.3 of Cake has been released...in 0.38.4.

Because of a configuration error the hot fixes didn't go into 0.38.3, we corrected this in 0.38.4.

In this version, we are releasing two bug fixes that were identified after shipping our 0.38.2 release. One is a fix for how braces are escaped in console messages and the other is ensuring valid dates in zip files.

Version 0.38.2 of Cake has been released.

In this version we are releasing a small bug fix which was identified after shipping our 0.38.0 release.

One of the new features that shipped in 0.38.0 was support for ANSI escape codes. Turns out, this feature breaks the service message logging in some CI systems. The problem was identified when Cake was running in TeamCity, but it is possible that other systems are affected.

Version 0.38.0 of Cake has been released.

In this version we've got a few features and improvements and one bug fix, full list of changes at end of this post

One of the main features is the enabling of ANSI escape codes. Cake will now automatically detect whether a CI system supports ANSI escape codes, and if it does it will use them, rather than using System.Console.ForegroundColor, or similar. This gives a much richer output on systems such as GitHub Actions.

Within the timeframe of this release, we were very happy to welcome Enrico Campidoglio into the Cake Team. Enrico is the person behind the creation of the GitHub Action for Cake, which has now been brought into the Cake GitHub Organisation. We are very grateful to Enrico for the work in creating this action! Welcome to the Team!

🍰Huge thanks to our community! It wouldn't have been possible without your support and contributions!❤
