### 2.0 / 2016-05-31

*   Rewrite! Over the last year, a number of deficiencies have been found,
    especially related to the extensibility and the execution of various
    phases. Cartage 2.0 is a rewrite of major parts of the system and is
    intentionally not backwards compatible with Cartage 1.0. Documentation for
    upgrading is provided.

    *   Changed from CmdParse to GLI for providing CLI interface structure.

    *   Removed the -E/--environment flag and support for environment-tagged
        configuration.

    *   Added compression configuration. Supported types are bzip2, gzip, and
        none. The default remains bzip2.

    *   The release_hashref file is no longer created. It has been replaced
        with release_metadata.json. This contains more information and requires
        cartage-rack 2.0 to display.

    *   Plug-ins have changed:

        *   Plug-in capabilities must be provided in the gem path
            <tt>lib/cartage/plugins</tt>.

        *   Plug-ins declare their feature support to indicate the points that
            they will be called during the packaging process.

        *   Plug-in commands must be provided in the gem path
            <tt>lib/cartage/commands</tt>. These commands are always available.

        *   Plug-ins are currently automatically enabled on discovery and may
            be explicitly disabled in configuration. Future versions of Cartage
            will support explicit plug-in selection in configuration.

    *   Made more functions public for use by plug-ins.

    *   Removed support for default configuration files outside of a project
        directory. Only <tt>config/cartage.yml</tt>, <tt>.cartage.yml</tt>, and
        <tt>cartage.yml</tt> will be read now.
        <tt>$HOME/.config/cartage.yml</tt>, <tt>$HOME/.cartage.yml</tt>, and
        <tt>/etc/cartage.yml</tt> are no longer read. The previous behaviour
        can be obtained with ERB insertion into one of the project-specific
        files, as shown below. This pattern is not recommended.

            ---
            # cartage.yml
            % candidates = []
            % candidates << "#{ENV['HOME']}/.config/cartage.yml"
            % candidates << "#{ENV['HOME']}/.cartage.yml"
            % candidates << '/etc/cartage.yml'
            % global = candidate.select { |c| File.exist?(c) }
            <%= Cartage::Config.import(global) %>

    *   Extracted bundler support as a new gem,
        [cartage-bundler]{https://github.com/KineticCafe/cartage-bundler}.

    *   Extracted tarball building as a built-in plug-in,
        Cartage::BuildTarball.

*   Added Cartage::Minitest to provide methods to assist with testing Cartage
    and plug-ins using Minitest.
