Release Notes
- Fix pull of private images on certain registries (#74).
- Fix missing user-provided environment variables during detection (#83).
- Use image name to locate cache volume (instead of app path) (buildpacks/roadmap#28).
- Add
pack stacks
command to list stacks (buildpacks/roadmap#24). - Clean-up log output from the pack CLI / lifecycle
- Add color to the pack CLI when used from a terminal (buildpacks/roadmap#33). (Pass
--no-color
to manually disable.) - Add
--quiet
flag (buildpacks/roadmap#32).
Experimental Features
This release introduces a hidden --clear-cache
flag to pack build
that often fails due to poor clean-up after pack receives SIGINT
or SIGTERM
. This flag will be documented in the next release. Will also improve the container clean-up logic in the next release so that stopped containers are removed (and are never left bound to volumes).
Upcoming Features
- In the next release, builders will encode a default run image. Pack's config.toml will only used to create builders. (Note: this feature was rescheduled from v0.0.9 to v0.0.10.)
