ExMake v0.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2013-08-17 // over 10 years ago

  • 🚀 This is another alpha-quality release, adding various bug fixes, enhancements, and optimizations.

    🛠 Fixes:

    • Error out if a phony rule depends on a file that doesn't exist and cannot be built.
    • 👷 Provide better stack traces in debug mode when an exception is caught in a job runner.
    • 🛠 Fix a pattern match failure that could happen in the Erlang library if a rule had header dependencies.
    • 🛠 Fix the "recipe changed directory" error to actually say what it means.
    • Ensure library paths are expanded into absolute paths before adding them.
    • Correctly invalidate the environment table cache if a script file changes.

    ✨ Enhancements:

    • Wrap the DAG creation process in a timing pass.
    • ➕ Add a module for compiling Elixir source code.
    • 👍 Allow specifying output directory in Erlang rules.
    • ➕ Add a manifest macro to specify files to be considered sources of the build cache.
    • Lift the arbitrary restriction that recurse paths could not contain path separators.
    • 🔄 Change into the directory the file given to --file is located in, and lift a similar separator restriction.

    Optimizations:

    • ➕ Add module caching by using a manifest file in the cache directory.
    • If --clear is passed, immediately assume that the cache is stale.

    Built with Elixir 0.10.1.
