3.6.2

• Reload logger config in shell according to sys.config
• add report in the effects_code_generation, as it is the short form for both report_errors and report_warnings preventing some unnecessary re-compiling
• Friendlier output on include_lib errors
• Bump certifi to update certificates
• fixed typo erl_first_files
• smarter shell code reloading, add env options for refresh_paths & refresh_paths_blacklist
• Warn but succeed when atoms are passed to erl_first_files

3.6.1

Fixes to relx and other calls that failed for eperm errors in OTP-21.

3.6.0

This is the first important release to support OTP-21.0 officially, rather than just release candidates. There are some new features:

• upgrades to relx to 3.25.0 introduce support for OTP-21's 'sys.config.src' files, which allow automatic replacement of variables in sys.config files, without needing to use set RELX_REPLACE_OS_VARS, and without having to wrap them in strings to work. It also contains a bunch of bugfixes.
• Introduce support of del operations for overrides, which allow to unset specific values from lists such as erl_opts in dependencies
• Add hooks to the upgrade command
• Add --start-clean flag to rebar3 shell

There are also plenty of bugfixes:

• Bump cth_readable for OTP-21 compat
• upgrade bbmustache to 1.5.0
• run compile provider in default namespace from bare compiler, fixing some build issues in mix builds
• Resolve string vs list crashing rebar3 erl_first_files
• Create ERLANG_LIB_*_erl_interface environment variables only if erl_interface exists
• Auto-boot main app in OTP app project templates
• Use maps for child spec example in templates

3.5.3

This is a patch release fixing a few things with 3.5.2:

• Restore default templates in bootstrapped rebar3
• start at least one async thread in async thread poll
• Logger support in cth_readable, and compact CT output

Do note that Erlang R16B support has officially ended in order to support Erlang/OTP-21-rc1, given that logging handling required maps, which did not exist back in R16. If you need R16B support, the old rebar3 releases should work for a good while.

A new compact format for common test output has been added and made default, equivalent to --readable=compact. You can revert to previous behaviour with --readable=true or cancel all reformatting of output with --readable=false as before.

3.5.2

• Support Erlang/OTP-21
• ensure destination directory exists before copying data to it and fix src_dirs symlinking logic
• Display warnings when global cache dirs are read-only
• Bump cth_readable to 1.3.4 to restore eunit macro formatter functionality and lager compat
• Reload pre-started apps running in first shell boot with new sys.config
• Fix local upgrade etag handling
• Fix precedence rules of erl_opts for test profile
• Display rebar.config.script errors for better diagnosing of issues
• Handle Schema-less Proxy URLs in ENV vars
• Fix quotes handling in packages etag values
• Remove noisy debug message about internal state
• force an order on multiple profiles to fix inconsistencies on repeated runs
• use debug level for logs about bad package versioning
• don't attempt to retry finding missing packages when updating index
• Functions allowing providers and plugins to set ENV vars have been exposed
• do not return first hex package version for a constraint with no match
• Set unicode option for standard_io at entry point
• fix hooks and plugins usage when cleaning build artifacts for deps
• upgrade erlware commons and relx for various bug fixes
• Fix alias provider argument passing
