v1.0.0-rc.2

• Updates
  • Remove build_embedded from the mix.exs since it was unnecessary
  • Fix update check in mix local.nerves
  • Various changes to align new project generator with the one in Elixir 1.6.
  • Add rootfs_overlay directory and populate it with an iex.exs to load the
    nerves_runtime IEX helpers. This replaces a common manual process of doing
    this or something similar afterwards.
  • Add a commented out reference for enabling Erlang's heartbeat monitor

v1.0.0-rc.1

• Bug fixes
  • Various mix format updates to the template
  • Update template so that projects use v1.0.0-rc system releases so that they
    compile
  • Fix archive update check logic

v0.8.2

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed check for update logic to exclude pre releases if on stable
    and show new pre releases / stable if current version is pre release.

v1.0.0-rc.0

Nerves no longer automatically compiles any nerves_package that is missing
it's pre-compiled artifact. This turned out to rarely be desired and caused
unexpectantly long compilation times when things like the Linux kernel or gcc
got compiled.

When a pre-compiled artifact is missing, Nerves will now tell you what your
options are to resolve this. It could be retrying mix deps.get to download it
again. If you want to force compilation to happen, add a :nerves option for
the desired package in your top level project:

  {:nerves_system_rpi0, "~> 1.0-rc", nerves: [compile: true]}

v0.8.1

• Bug Fixes
  • deps.get and deps.update aliases should always be added to the
    project regardless of target.

v0.8.0

In the last relase (0.7.x) we added two additional aliases deps.get and
deps.update. In this release, we added an alias for run.
This led to a point where is became unreasonable to manage
all the required aliases in the project mix.exs. We changed the pratice to
allow nerves_bootstrap to manage the required aliases for you by calling
Nerves.Bootstrap.add_aliases/1, however, this causes users who
did not have the nerves_bootstrap archive installed to be stuck in an error
loop unless they would cd to a directory that did not contain an offending
mix.exs file to install the missing archive.

This version provides a safer way of allowing nerves_bootstrap to manage
its required aliases by hooking into a single alias: loadconfig.

To update, you will need to modify your mix.exs to the following:

  # mix.exs

  def project do
    [
      # ...
      aliases: ["loadconfig": [&bootstrap/1]],
    ]
  end

  # Starting nerves_bootstrap adds the required aliases to Mix.Project.config()
  # Aliases are only added if MIX_TARGET is set.
  def bootstrap(args) do
    Application.start(:nerves_bootstrap)
    Mix.Task.run("loadconfig", args)
  end

• Enhancements
  • precompile will compile all Nerves packages instead of only the system
    and its children.
  • Calling run while MIX_TARGET is set will raise an exception for
    trying to run cross compiled code on the host.
  • Application.start(:nerves_bootstrap) will attempt to add aliases to the
    mix project on the top of the stack if MIX_TARGET is set.

v0.7.1

• Enhancements
  • Added alias for deps.update to append nerves.deps.get to fetch
    artifacts.

v0.7.0

• Enhancements

  • Added Mix task nerves.deps.get

  • nerves_bootstrap will check for updates when nerves.deps.get is called.

  • Added Nerves.Bootstrap.add_aliases/1
    This helper function ensures that your project has the required Nerves
    mix aliases defined and in the correct execution order. The function takes
    the existing aliases as a keyword list and injects the required Nerves aliases.
    You will need to update your mix.exs target aliases to use this version of
    nerves_bootstrap like this:

    defp aliases(_target) do
      [
        # Add custom mix aliases here
      ]
      |> Nerves.Bootstrap.add_aliases()
    end

    You should also update your required dependency for nerves to
    {:nerves, "~> 0.9", runtime: false}

• Bug Fixes
  • disable precompiler when calling mix nerves.clean to prevent having to
    build the package so we can clean it.
  • Fixes issue where project dependencies that contain calls to System.get_env
    in their config or mix file or rebar deps that have rebar-config.script
    overrides that make os:getenv calls were not being configured for the
    cross compile environment.

v0.6.4

• Enhancements
  • Changed update location from Github to hex.pm
  • Fixed compiler warning
  • Synchronize new project template with Elixir 1.6 updates (includes formatter)

v0.6.3

• Enhancements
  • Removed unsupported systems from default targets and added x86_64.
  • Moved to independent hex package.
