What's new

It is now possible to reference the value of an environment variable from the host environment in a build arg, using the same syntax as for environment variables. See build_args in the documentation for more details. (#87 - thanks to @nesl247 for the feedback)
The wrapper script now downloads batect from Bintray rather than GitHub. This gives a number of benefits:
- Pre-release builds can now be published for testing and for those who need access to a bug fix or feature enhancement before it is released.
- Bintray provides statistics for downloads, allowing us to better understand how batect is being used.
- Some organisations want to be able to mirror batect releases internally (just like they do for NPM or Maven repositories, for example), and Bintray supports this.
The wrapper script will automatically start using Bintray when you upgrade - no action is required on your part.
The IDE integration page in the documentation has been expanded to cover Visual Studio Code. (#93 - thanks to @akamanocha for the contribution)

Getting started

First time using batect? Take a look at the getting started guide, or the many sample projects.

If you're already using batect, run ./batect --upgrade to upgrade automatically.
