### 2.2.1 / 2022-05-08

- This is the last release of cartage. It's been a fun ride, but Docker-based
  images are our future at Kinetic Commerce. There is one feature that remains
  useful, the release-metadata output. We have created a new, more extensible
  format for which we will be creating a gem to manage this. One example of the
  implementation can be found at:

  https://github.com/KineticCafe/release-metadata-ts

  We will also be replacing `cartage-rack` with a new gem supporting this new
  format.

### 2.2 / 2020-03-18

- Added a `metadata` command.

- Indicated that development on `cartage` was winding down.

### 2.1 / 2017-02-18

- Cartage 2.1 now knows how to load plug-ins relative to the project root
  path. If you have a plug-in that you aren't ready to release as a gem, just
  put it in your project as `<ROOT_PATH>/lib/cartage/plugins/foo.rb`; Cartage
  will find it automatically. This feature does not work with command
  extensions.

- The hidden command, `cartage info plugins`, will now correctly report
  plug-in versions.

- Cartage tries to restore files that were modified by a build system prior
  to packaging. This would fail on files that were not part of the resulting
  tarball (because they were in .cartignore). This has been fixed.

- A new utility function, Cartage#recursive_copy has been added to
  recursively copy directories from disk into the work path. The interaction
  of relative and absolute directories is subtle but documented on the method
  itself.

### 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.
