July, 2017

It's no secret, I like Cake. When I have to write a script to build my source code, I use Cake. On my most recent expedition writing a Cake script to publish a UWP application, I noticed Hockey App publish failed, Cake.HockeyApp was throwing an exception.

Version 0.21.1 of Cake has been released.

Following the release of Cake 0.21.0 yesterday, a couple of issues were uncovered, and the decision was taken to correct them immediately. These are minor issues, and are not expected to cause any major problems. Please let us know if you have any issues.

And as always thanks to all Cake contributors and users, Cake wouldn't have been possible without you!

Version 0.21.0 of Cake has been released.

So, let's be clear, this release will break things - but it is all intentional!

This release is mostly about bringing the .NET Core aliases up-to-date with .NET Core SDK 1.0.4, which is the latest RTM/stable version. The shift to using MSBuild and from project.json to csproj project system has resulted in many breaking changes and additions to the .NET CLI.

Regardless of intentional or unintentional breaking changes, the possibility of new releases breaking something is why we always recommend you pin the version of Cake you're running, thus avoiding any unplanned broken builds. You can read more about pinning Cake version here.

Huge thanks to Jonathan Kuleff, who has done a brilliant job and epic effort in methodically going through the .NET CLI and Cake aliases identifying what's been changed, removed or added! It's been great working with you through these pull-requests.
