Version 0.14.0 of Cake has been released.

We are very happy to announce the first release of Cake as a member of the .NET Foundation. If you missed this announcement, you can read more about it here.

In this release, we made a number of improvements and squashed some bugs which had been reported. In addition, we saw four new features added to Cake, including support for the Wix Heat command line tool, and also for Octopus Deploy Push command.

NOTE: Within this release, we also had one breaking change, namely the removal of the obsoleted XmlPoke Aliases. These had been marked as obsolete in a previous release of Cake, and we have now taken the steps to remove them completely. Cake does follow the semantic versioning principles, however, since we have not yet reached the 1.0.0 release, this breaking change appears here, in a minor version number change.

It’s been an amazing journey since the push of the first public commit of Cake in May 2014, in just two years we’ve seen 72 releases, had more than 60 contributors, over a thousand issues and pull requests proposed. And on top of that a small eco system of more than 50 community provided Cake addins.

So firstly a huge thank you to all our contributors and adopters! This wouldn’t have been possible without you! It’s truly amazing to see the increase in contribution and adoption of Cake.

Today we’re really excited and happy to share that Cake is joining the .NET foundation!

So what does this mean for Cake? It’ll still be maintained and governed by the same team as now, but with the support and guidance of the .NET foundation, ensuring the longevity of the project.

Version 0.12.0 of Cake has been released.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but...

This is a huge release for Cake! In this release we have added support for the debugging of Cake scripts using Visual Studio, as well as support for the .Net CLI Tools (a.k.a. dotnet). The best part about both of these features is that they were contributed again by our amazing community members. Thank you, we very much appreciate your help!

In addition to these amazing features, we also took the time to squash some bugs, as well as to improve our own builds through the use of Polly, which is helping with NuGet issues on our Travis CI Builds.

Keep an eye out on the blog and on the Cake website for additional information about the new debugging support and how it can be used.
