Release notes for 1.16.0
This is a new minor release containing new features and bug fixes.
Improved command execution on Windows
- Quote command arguments: quoting of command arguments like
run 'perl', [ '-e', 'print 1' ];works on Windows now - Support command environment variables: the
run()command on Windows now supports passing environment variables to it viaenv => { VAR => $value }
Require minimum perl-5.14.4
Rex now requires at least perl-5.14.4 to install. A transition towards newer Perl versions enables us to start using modern Perl features throughout the codebase.
Fix git branch operations
- Detect default branch of git origin: automatically detect different default
branch names based on git default configuration (for example
mainon Mac OS X) - Fix git branch checkout operations:
checkout $repo, branch => $branchdid not switch to the target branch in the cloned repo when originally cloned with another branch
