Releases · stackotter/swift-bundler

This release removes reliance on Swift Bundler being installed at /opt/swift-bundler and updates the installation instructions accordingly. The recommended installation method is now via mint.

If you have previously installed Swift Bundler via the installation script method, you must delete the /opt/swift-bundler directory.

v2.0.0

v2.0.0

After a month of work and over 120 commits, I have finished rewriting and improving the entirety of Swift Bundler 🎉

For a nice overview of the changes go and read my blog post.

Improvements

Better configuration format
Help messages are more useful
Error messages are more descriptive
Commands are more intuitive
Command line output is colourful!
Improved consistency between SwiftPM and Xcode builds
Automatic migration from old configuration format (Bundle.json) to new configuration format (Bundler.toml)
Swift Bundler is now released under the more permissive Apache 2.0
Swift Bundler is less opinionated about the layout of your project and the only requirement is that Bundler.toml is in the root directory
The chance of fatal errors occurring has been significantly reduced by avoiding all force unwraps (and similar), and removing many other sources of fatal errors

New features

Package templates
Commands give tips on what to do next
Multi-app packages
Plist entries can contain variables (e.g. {COMMIT_HASH} can be used to insert the current commit hash into the Info.plist at build time)
Option to set indentation style when creating a new package
Stylish and helpful command-line output
Documentation site

Internal changes

Swift Bundler is now written in a functional style for maximum reusability and maintainability
Result-based error handling is now used instead of throws to ensure that error messages are always descriptive and always have user-friendly error messages
All errors implement errorDescription
The monolithic Bundler type has been split into several smaller self-contained utilities
All child processes are terminated when the swift-bundler process is killed
Errors are now propagated instead of just terminating the process when the error occurs, allowing for centralised error handling
