0.25.0 (19-July-2017)

0.25.0

This release introduces a new layout for the local cache, with dedicated export_source folder to store the source code exported with exports_sources feature, which is much cleaner than the old .c_src subfolder. A migration is included to remove from the local cache packages with the old layout.

• Feature: new conan create command that supersedes test_package for creating and testing package. It works even without the test_package folder, and have improved management for user, channel. The test_package recipe no longer defines requires
• Feature: new conan get command that display (with syntax highlight) package recipes, and any other file from conan: recipes, conaninfo.txt, manifests, etc.
• Feature: new conan alias command that creates a special package recipe, that works like an alias or a proxy to other package, allowing easy definition and transparent management of "using the latest minor" and similar policies. Those special alias packages do not appear in the dependency graph.
• Feature: new conan search --table=file.html command that will output an html file with a graphical representation of available binaries
• Feature: created default profile, that replace the [settings_default] in conan.conf and augments it, allowing to define more things like env-vars, options, build_requires, etc.
• Feature: new self.user_info member that can be used in package_info() to define custom user variables, that will be translated to general purpose variables by generators.
• Feature: conan remove learned the --outdated argument, to remove those package binaries that are outdated from the recipe, both from local cache and remotes
• Feature: conan search learned the --outdated argument, to show only those package binaries that are outdated from the recipe, both from local cache and remotes
• Feature: Automatic management CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE in CMake helper for cross-building.
• Feature: created conan_api, a python API interface to conan functionality.
• Feature: new cmake.install() method of CMake helper.
• Feature: short_paths feature now applies also to exports_sources
• Feature: SystemPackageTool now supports FreeBSD system packages
• Feature: build_requires now manage options too, also default options in package recipes
• Feature: conan build learned new --package_folder argument, useful if the build system perform the packaging
• Feature: CMake helper now defines by default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX pointing to the current package_folder, so cmake.install() can transparently execute the packaging.
• Feature: improved command UX with --cwd arguments to allow define the current directory for the command
• Feature: improved VisualStudioBuildEnvironment
• Feature: transfers now show size (MB, KB) of download/uploaded files, and current status of transfer.
• Feature: conan new now has arguments to generate CI scripts for Gitlab CI.
• Feature: Added MinRelSize and RelWithDebInfo management in CMake helper.
• Fix: make mkdir, rmdir, relative_dirs available for import from conans module.
• Fix: improved detection of Visual Studio default under cygwin environment.
• Fix: package_files now allows symlinks
• Fix: Windows installer now includes conan_build_info tool.
• Fix: appending environment variables instead of overwriting them when they come from different origins: upstream dependencies and profiles.
• Fix: made opt-in the check of package integrity before uploads, it was taking too much time, and provide little value for most users.
• Fix: Package recipe linter removed some false positives
• Fix: default settings from conan.conf do not fail for constrained settings in recipes.
• Fix: Allowing to define package remote with conan remote add_ref before download/upload.
• Fix: removed duplicated BUILD_SHARED_LIBS in test_package
• Fix: add "rhel" to list of distros using yum.
• Bugfix: allowing relative paths in exports and exports_sources fields
• Bugfix: allow custom user generators with underscore

0.22.0 (18-April-2017)

0.22.0

• Feature: [build_requires] can now be declared in profiles and apply them to build packages. Those requirements are only installed if the package is required to build from sources, and do not affect its package ID hash, and it is not necessary to define them in the package recipe. Ideal for testing libraries, cross compiling toolchains (like Android), development tools, etc.
• Feature: Much improved support for cross-building. Support for cross-building to Android provided, with toolchains installable via build_requires.
• Feature: New package_files command, that is able to create binary packages directly from user files, without needing to define build() or package() methods in the the recipes.
• Feature: command conan new with a new --bare option that will create a minimal package recipe, usable with the package_files command.
• Feature: Improved CMake helper, with test() method, automatic setting of BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, better management of variables, support for parallel compilation in MSVC (via /MP)
• Feature: new tools.msvc_build_command() helper that both sets the Visual vcvars and calls Visual to build the solution. Also vcvars_command is improved to return non-empty string even if vcvars is set, for easier concatenation.
