Box v0.4: Multi-build mode, stability enhancements

Box Version 0.4

Box is a small utility for the building of docker images. Through use of mruby,
we provide additional flexibility over the vanilla docker build command by
adding control structures and basic predicates. We also add new verbs that
allow new actions, such as flattening and tagging images.

Some features that differentiate it from docker build:

• Unique general features:
  • mruby syntax
  • Filtering of keywords to secure builds
  • Shell mode
• In the build plan itself:
  • Layer editing and composition
  • Tagging
  • Flattening
  • Debug mode (drop to a shell in the middle of a plan run and inspect your container)
  • Ruby block methods for user (with_user) and workdir (inside) allow
    you to scope copy and run operations for a more obvious build plan.

This is the 0.4 release of Box, the mruby-inspired advanced docker
builder. If you're new to Box, you can read the documentation here.

The changes included in this version of Box are:

• multi-build mode! Now build whole projects full of multiple images at once!
• many stability enhancements
  • in particular, you should not get random unpreventable panics when invoking
    box anymore.

  the documentation for more.

v0.3.2: Maintenance Release

Box Version 0.3.2

Box is a small utility for the building of docker images. Through use of mruby, we provide additional flexibility over the vanilla docker build command by adding control structures and basic predicates. We also add new verbs that allow new actions, such as flattening and tagging images.

This is the 0.3.2 release of Box, the mruby-inspired advanced docker
builder. If you're new to Box, you can read the documentation here.

The changes included in this version of Box are:

• Fix TTY handling in debug modes (found by @errordeveloper)
• Improve signal handling in a few edge case scenarios in run statements
• USER, WORKDIR, CMD and ENTRYPOINT inheritance is much better now. It should be less surprising when issusing run statements the last layer in a series. (found by @errordeveloper)
• Box no longer takes a final step to commit the image after the run has completed.
• New progress meters for all copy/tar/summing operations.
• Tarring routines (copy, flatten etc) no longer attempt to tar special files such as unix sockets.
• Many fixes around copy, path handling and workdir. Note that now if you want to copy files into a target that is a directory, it will fail. If you do wish to copy them into the directory instead of over it, suffix the directory name with a /. (found by @errordeveloper)

Box v0.3: shell mode, skip layers, and more!

Box Version 0.3

Box is a small utility for the building of docker images. Through use of mruby,
we provide additional flexibility over the vanilla docker build command by
adding control structures and basic predicates. We also add new verbs that
allow new actions, such as flattening and tagging images.

Some features that differentiate it from docker build:

• Unique general features:
  • mruby syntax
  • Filtering of keywords to secure builds
  • Shell mode (interactively work with your build plan)
• In the build plan itself:
  • Tagging
  • Flattening
  • Debug mode (drop to a shell in the middle of a plan run and inspect your container)
  • Ruby block methods for user (with_user) and workdir (inside) allow
    you to scope copy and run operations for a more obvious build plan.

If you're new to Box, you can read the documentation here.

The changes included in this version of Box are:

• New REPL/shell! You can now interactively build container images with box.
  • See the REPL mode docs for more
    information.
• New skip verb: skip layers that you don't want in the final image. Read
  here for more information.
• Improved signal handling; cancelling builds now leaves no temporary files or
  containers within the system.
• A new command-line flag, box -f, omits the automatic final commit. It is
  typically used with the tag verb to avoid making two images.
• The readability of progress meters was improved.

Box v0.2

Box Version 0.2

Box is a small utility for the building of docker images. Through use of mruby,
we provide additional flexibility over the vanilla docker build command by
adding control structures and basic predicates. We also add new verbs that
allow new actions, such as flattening and tagging images.

Some features that differentiate it from docker build:

This is the 0.2 release of Box, the mruby-inspired advanced docker
builder. If you're new to Box, you can read the documentation
here.

The changes included in this version of Box are:

• TTY detection (for colorized output and terminal handling) and flags to force
  it on (--force-tty) and off (--no-tty).
• -t/--tag flags to tag the final image with the tag name. Does not affect
  the tag verb in any way.
• -o/--omit can be used to filter functions/verbs from the capabilities of
  the builder.
• from statements now appropriately cause the image to inherit their
  attributes, such as CMD and ENV.
• debug: set a breakpoint in your build plan to drop into a shell. Placing
  this anywhere in your code, once called, will drop you into a container. Once
  the container terminates, its layer will be saved and the run will continue.
• import: import another file's ruby code.
• Colorized output! This provides a clearer visual experience and is
  appropriately turned off when no TTY is present.

Initial Release of Box: v0.1

Box 0.1 is a new kind of builder for Docker. It leverages the scripting language mruby and pairs it with tons of new functionality inside of the builder itself to bring a better, more flexible experience to building images with docker.

Since this is the first release there are probably more than a few bugs, you've been warned! However, if you see some, please report an issue if you can find the time.
