0.12.0

giter8.version

Starting Giter8 0.12.0 adds a new application named giter8-launcher whose job is analogous to sbt's sbt-launcher. giter8-launcher clones the template and reads project/build.properties file to determine the Giter8 version to render the template.

As a template author you should specify the Giter8 version in project/build.properties file as:

giter8.version=0.12.0

Once "sbt new" uses this mechanism it should decouple the Giter8 version from the release cycle of sbt.

@eed3si9n implemented this feature in #444. The original idea was proposed by Merlijn Boogerd (@mboogerd) in 2017 as #303.

Coursier bootstrap

Giter8 0.12.0 also adds a bootstrap script for giter8-launcher generated using Coursier, and publishes to Maven Central as https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/foundweekends/giter8/giter8-bootstrap_2.12/0.12.0/giter8-bootstrap_2.12-0.12.0.sh. This could be locally saved as ~/bin/g8.

Documentation in Korean

Earlier this year (2019), documentation was translated to Korean by Hamel Yeongho Moon (@hamelmoon) in #417 with review by @yoohaemin. Thanks!

conditionals

Starting Giter8 0.10.0, all fields have a property named truthy to be used in conditional expressions.
"y", "yes", and "true" evaluate to true; anything else evaluates to false.

$if(scala212.truthy)$
scalaVersion := "2.12.3"
$elseif(scala211.truthy)$
scalaVersion := "2.11.11"
$else$
scalaVersion := "2.10.6"
$endif$

0.7.0

new management and Apache v2

This is the first release since the development is passed on to
foundweekends project.

• We've relicensed Giter8 under Apache v2 license after contacting
  previous contributors and getting their approvals. #194
• Organization name is changed to org.foundweekends.giter8.
• The sbt plugins were renamed to sbt-giter8 and sbt-giter8-scaffold.
• Created Pamflet documentation.

bug fixes and improvements

• ls(..) property is dropped. #201 by @eed3si9n

root layout

Giter8 0.7.0 introduces an experimental layout called root layout.
When Giter8 does not find src/main/g8, it will simply use the root directory
of the specified Git repository as the template directory.

The default.properties file can be placed either at the root directory
or in project directory.
This also means that you can no longer include template fields in the files
under project, so the application of root layout is pretty limited. #202 by @eed3si9n
