# Changelog

## 0.9.0 - 2026-04-23

### Added

- Added a "comment" entry to the package format. This entry is for package maintenance comments. Unlike regular YAML comments, it is kept when the package file is updated by a tool.

### Fixed

- `clydetools` now includes the pre-release component when extracting a version number from the tag.

- `clydetools check` now supports CalVer version numbers.

## 0.8.0 - 2024-06-16

### Added

- It is now possible to install assets which are scripts.

- `clyde doc` now also shows the repository and homepage URLs, making it easy to open them.

### Changed

- Clyde no longer uses the `tar` command to unpack tar archives (Fixes #4).

### Fixed

- Fix regression in `clydetools fetch` preventing it from updating packages that use the default fetcher.

- Quitting `clyde doc` with Ctrl+C now properly restores the terminal cursor.

- `clydetools fetch` now prefers assets with explicit arch and OS (fixes gitui update failure).

## 0.7.0 - 2024-04-01

### Added

- Clyde got a new command: `clyde doc` to let you read the documentation provided by a package.

- Clyde releases now include binaries for Mac M1 processors.

- `clydetools` can now download packages from Forgejo forges.

- `clydetools fetch` can now select a subset of the project assets using the new `include` fetcher entry.

### Changed

- `clyde install` no longer overwrites existing files. If a file it wants to install already exists, it aborts and removes any files it just installed.

- `clydetools check` now provides a nicer and more detailed summary of package failures.

## 0.6.0 - 2023-12-28

### Added

- Clyde now ships with auto-completion for Bash, Elvish, Fish, PowerShell and Zsh.

- Clyde packages can now install Fish completion using the new `${fish_comp_dir}` variable.

- When downloading from GitHub, `clydetools` now uses a GitHub token if one is set in `$CLYDE_GITHUB_TOKEN` or in `$GITHUB_TOKEN`.

- `clydetools` now has a short documentation (docs/clydetools.md).

- `clyde list` and `clyde show` can now output their results in JSON.

- The package format now supports a new type of fetcher: `ScriptFetcher`. This fetcher uses the [Boa JavaScript engine](https://boajs.dev/) to allow fetching from many different sources.

### Changed

- `clyde setup` now installs Clyde itself inside the newly created Clyde home, making initial setup simpler (#149).

- When a new version of Clyde is available, `clyde upgrade` won't install any other package than the `clyde` package, ensuring install or upgrade of packages are done with the latest version of Clyde.

- Download messages have been simplified: they no longer show the number of attempts on the first attempt.

- `clydetools fetch` now recognizes `64-Bit` and `32-Bit` as x86_64 and x86 architectures.

- `clyde upgrade` now list packages which cannot be upgraded because they are pinned.

- `clydetools fetch` does not fail anymore to extract version numbers from tags with app name prefixes.

### Deprecated

- The `$CLYDE_INST_DIR` environment variable is now deprecated. `$CLYDE_HOME` is now defined by the activation script, so one can use `$CLYDE_HOME/inst` instead.

### Fixed

- `clyde search` is now more robust: it won't fail if a package file cannot be parsed, and won't try to load the `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file as a package.

## 0.5.0 - 2023-03-20

### Added

- `clydetools fetch` can now fetch updates for packages hosted on gitlab.com.

- `clyde setup` learned the `--url` option to define the URL of the store.

- Clyde packages can now install Bash and Zsh completion using the new `${bash_comp_dir}` and `${zsh_comp_dir}` variables (#20).

### Changed

- `clydetools` learned new patterns to extract arch-os from URLs.

- `clyde setup` now creates a shallow clone of the store, making it faster (#17).

- When a download times out, Clyde now retries 2 times before giving up.

### Fixed

- `clydetools fetch` could sometimes confuse cached assets if their name did not include the version number.

### Package format change

- A new entry has been added: `fetcher`. It makes it possible for the package to define the fetcher to use, and default values for the architecture and/or OS.

## 0.4.1 - 2022-11-30

### Fixed

- Test commands can now use the `${exe_ext}` variable, making them more useful to test Windows packages.
