on GitHub

v3.4.1...v3.5.0

You'll notice a big cosmetic change in this release: the default logging
format has been changed to
Airbrussh. For more details on
what Airbrussh does
and how to configure it, visit the
Airbrussh README.

• To opt out of the new format, simply add set :format, :pretty to switch to
  the old default of Capistrano 3.4.0 and earlier.
• If you are already an Airbrussh user, note that the default configuration has
  changed, and the syntax for configuring Airbrussh has changed as well.
  This simple upgrade guide
  will walk you through it.

Potentially breaking changes:

• Drop support for Ruby 1.9.3 (Capistrano does no longer work with 1.9.3)
• Git version 1.6.3 or greater is now required
• Remove 'vendor/bundle' from default :linked_dirs (@ojab)
• Old versions of SSHKit (before 1.9.0) are no longer supported
• SHA1 hash of current git revision written to REVISION file is no longer abbreviated
• Ensure task invocation within after hooks is namespace aware, which may require
  you to change how your after hooks are declared in some cases; see
  #1652 for an example
  and how to correct it (@thickpaddy)
• Validation of the :application variable forbids special characters such as slash,
  this may be a breaking change in case that you rely on using a / in your application
  name to deploy from a sub directory.

New features:

• Added a doctor task that outputs helpful troubleshooting information. Try it like this: cap production doctor. (@mattbrictson)
• Added a dry_run? helper method

• Allow after() to refer to tasks that have not been loaded yet (@jcoglan)
• Allow use "all" as string for server filtering (@theist)
• Print a warning and abort if "load:defaults" is erroneously invoked after
  capistrano is already loaded, e.g. when a plugin is loaded in deploy.rb
  instead of Capfile. (@mattbrictson)
• Added option to set specific revision when using Subversion as SCM (@marcovtwout)
• Deduplicate list of linked directories
• Integration with Harrow.io (See http://capistranorb.com/documentation/harrow/) when running cap install
