0.20.0 (27-February-2017)
0.20.0
- Feature: Largely improved management of environment variables, declaration in
package_info()
,
definition in profiles, in command line, per package, propagation to consumers. - Feature: New build helpers
AutotoolsBuildEnvironment
,VisualStudioBuildEnvironment
, which
deprecateConfigureEnvironment
, with much better usage of environment variables - Feature: New
virtualbuildenv
generator that will generate a composable environment with build
information from installed dependencies. - Feature: New
build_id()
recipe method that allows to define logic to build once, and package
multiple times without building. E.g.: build once both debug and release artifacts, then package
separately. - Feature: Multi-config packages. Now packages can provide multi-configuration packages, like
both debug/release artifacts in the same package, withself.cpp_info.debug.libs = [...]
syntax.
Not restricted to debug/release, can be used for other purposes. - Feature: new
conan config
command to manage, edit, displayconan.conf
entries - Feature: Improvements to
CMake
build helper, now it hasconfigure()
andbuild()
methods
for common operations. - Feature: Improvements to
SystemPackageTool
with detection of installed packages, improved
implementation, installation of multi-name packages. - Feature: Unzip with
tools.unzip
maintaining permissions (Linux, OSX) - Feature:
conan info
command now allows profiles too - Feature: new tools
unix_path()
,escape_windows_cmd()
,run_in_windows_bash()
, useful
for autotools projects in Win/MinGW/Msys - Feature: new context manager
tools.chdir
, to temporarily change directory. - Feature: CMake using
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
for cross-compiling. - Feature: Artifactory build-info extraction from traces
- Feature: Attach custom headers to artifacts uploads with an
artifacts.properties
file. - Feature: allow and copy symlinks while
conan export
- Fix: removing quotes in some cmake variables that were generating incorrect builds
- Fix: providing better error messages for non existing binaries, with links to the docs
- Fix: improved error messages if
tools.patch
failed - Fix: adding
resdirs
tocpp_info
propagated information, and cmake variables, for directories
containing resources and other data. - Fix: printing error messages if a
--build
policy doesn't match any package - Fix: managing VS2017 by
tools
. Still the manual definition ofvs150comntools
required. - Bug fix: crashes when not supported characters were dumped to terminal by logger
- Bug fix: wrong executable path in Visual Studio generator
NOTE: It is important that you upgrade at least to 0.19.3 version if you are using remotes with packages that might be created with 0.20.0 version.
