New major updates in this version:
Slack Notifications
Just by providing a Slack integration URL, ecs-deploy will now automatically notify you about deployments. You will receive a message when the deployment starts as well as when the deployment finished either successfully or failed.
The Slack URL can be provided either by the new option --slack-url or as environment variable SLACK_URL.
With the new option --slack-service-match (env var SLACK_SERVICE_MATCH) you can control, which services you want to be notified about (e.g. if you only want to notify production deployments).
Diff
If you manage your task definitions in a separate tool or workflow, it can be very helpful to see the differences between two specific revisions of a task defition. This now easily can be achieved with the new command ecs diff. All you need to provide is the task family name as well as two different revision numbers:
ecs diff my-task 10 11
You will get a colored overview of all differences between those two revisions.
