Overview

The intention of this milestone is to address larger issues that require a bit of research, prototypes, and architecture in order to inform future decisions and features for the roadmap. Areas of focus include:

• Pre/Post hook functionality
• Nginx configurations per site
• Prototype of provider plugins
• Persistent database storage
• Extending external services
• Various minor fixes and enhancements

Features and Improvements

• bash autocompletion (requires configuration if you're not using homebrew to install) #309
• ddev-router install policy #317
• Full codebase is now mounted to the web container #314
• Newer version of drush in web container #333
• Generate settings file unless custom, manage settings file #325
• Validate sitenames #339
• Testing and "read-the-docs" documentation improvement
• Host-mounted database files #337

The key incompatibility introduced in this release is that mysql data store is now persistent (stored on the host/workstation instead of in the container). It's stored in ~/.ddev/<site_name>/mysql. Databases can be removed with ddev remove --remove-data. The syntax of the ddev remove was changed a bit as removing containers and a site no longer causes data loss.
