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.

  • Changed update location from Github to hex.pm

  • Synchronize new project template with Elixir 1.6 updates (includes formatter)

v0.6.3
