Breaking Changes / Removed features

• Increasing conan_package_tools min version to >=0.39.0 as 0.39.0 added support for CONAN_GLOBAL_CONF
• Remove Clang 3.9 builds from the default build matrix
• Visual Studio 2017 was dropped since GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines are dropping support for it (see https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/4312)
• Remove build_template_boost_default.py, build_template_boost_header_only.py, build_template_default.py, build_template_header_only.py or build_template_installer.py files. build.py files that make use of those files will break. Migrate to use the auto-detect feature (or if you can't use the auto-detect feature for some reason, a custom build.py file that does not try to import these files).

Deprecated Features / Will be removed in a future release

• Support for AppVeyor CI is deprecated. AppVeyor does not allow dynamic matrix generations which we need for most modern features.
• Clang < 10 builds will be removed from the default build matrix
• GCC 4.9 builds will be removed from the default build matrix
• Apple Clang 10 builds will be removed from the default build matrix

Upcoming Features Early Notice

• Bincrafters Package Tools will start to use semantic versioning
• The usage of the "modern" Conan Docker Tools containers will be extended to Clang >= 10 builds (see https://github.com/conan-io/conan-docker-tools/tree/b693dc3507cf16e7ec5db50e002765420b747651/modern); this might cause incompatibilities with existing builds and setups
• Clang 13 builds will be added to the default build matrix
• Use the Conan 2.x behaviour to always use 2 profiles (host and build) - This might break old recipes

New Features

• Add GCC 11 and Clang 12 builds to the default build matrix
• Use "modern" Conan Docker Tools containers for GCC >= 11 and Clang >= 12 build jobs (see https://github.com/conan-io/conan-docker-tools/tree/b693dc3507cf16e7ec5db50e002765420b747651/modern)
• Add environment variable BPT_MATRIX_DISCARD_DUPLICATE_BUILD_IDS. Options: true/false, default: true. This does NOT YET what it says. Right now, this only has an effect for installer_only and header_only recipes when set to false. In those cases, you get the full build matrix, instead of a shortened build matrix. In the future, the matrix generation actually compares build IDs and discards jobs based on the IDs. (https://github.com/bincrafters/community/issues/1391)

Other Improvements

• Change the default remote URL to Bincrafters' Artifactory remote (it was still pointing to Bintray)
• Some more adjustment to support the msvc compiler model (though, it still does not work completely)
• Add Apple Clang -> XCode mappings for newer versions

Bugfixes

• Enable installing system packages also for Conan 2.x system package tools
• Do not set CONAN_DOCKER_ENTRY_SCRIPT, but append instead

Internal Improvements

• Allow getting the builder for autodetect builds without executing the builder
• Add Dependabot to repository

• @ericLemanissier
• @jmarrec

Bugfixes

• Fix: Correctly read environment variable BPT_MATRIX_SPLIT_BY_BUILD_TYPES

Breaking Changes / Removed features

• No support for the environment variable BINTRAY_REPOSITORY anymore to specify the repository name for a Conan repository on Bintray. Use CONAN_REMOTE for the URL+name of your remote(s) (+ potential CONAN_UPLOAD if download and upload remotes are different)
• No explicit support for Travis CI anymore; macOS jobs will start to run on GitHub Actions (if it exists)
• No explicit support for Circle CI anymore as it is untested and unused by Bincrafters for a very long time and does not support many features there anyway

Deprecated Features / Will be removed in a future release

• Support for repositories using the single-recipe layout. Even if you have just one Conan recipe pro repository, you can use the multi-recipe layout without any major disadvantages, but it streamlines our tooling.
• Environment variable splitByBuildTypes and BPT_SPLIT_BY_BUILD_TYPES, use BPT_MATRIX_SPLIT_BY_BUILD_TYPES instead to split build jobs by build type (Debug/Release) - possible values: true, false
• build.py files which make use of BPT's build_template_boost_default.py, build_template_boost_header_only.py, build_template_default.py, build_template_header_only.py or build_template_installer.py files. Migrate to use the autodetect feature.
• In the next release, Clang 3.9 won't be added to the build matrix by default anymore

Upcoming Features Early Notice

• In the next release, the following compilers will be added to the default build matrix: Visual Studio 2022 Preview, GCC 11, Clang 12

New Features

• Generate build jobs for GCC 10, Clang 10 and Clang 11 in the build matrix
• BPT checks now if the CI config file version is compatible with the currently used version of BPT. Sometimes new features require breakages.

Bugfixes

• Fix container image for Linux installer recipes run (mismatch between specified GCC version 7 and specified image conanio/gcc8)
• Fix matrix generation for installer and header_only packages in a CCI style repository

Internal Improvements

• Matrix generation: split-by-build-types is now dynamic instead of hard coded

• BREAKING CHANGE: Always enable Conan revisions in the client
• BREAKING CHANGE: Replace gcc7-centos6 container with the gcc8 container for building Linux installer packages
• When neither AppVeyor nor Azure Pipelines are configured, Windows builds will run on GitHub Actions
• Provide more disk space for Linux jobs on GitHub Actions

• When neither Travis nor Azure Pipelines are configured, run macOS build jobs on GitHub Actions

• More work to support dynamic matrix generation on AZP

• Introduce prepare-env command to setup the env according to one option set generated by generate-ci-jobs. This allows us to hide this implementation logic and simplify CI config files. This works for now only on GitHub Actions.
• Start implementing support for repositories with multiple version for one recipe and for repositories with multiple recipes with multiple versions (like CCI). This works so for for Installers, header_only recipes and the Linux configurations for any other packages while running on GitHub Actions. There is not yet any support for other CI systems.

bincrafters-package-tools can now read environment information on AZP
