Announcing GoReleaser v1.5 — the misc improvements release

GoReleaser 1.5 is out, with a handful of miscellaneous improvements.

Highlights

  • Better manpages using mango;
  • Migrated from cobra to coral — which will eventually lead to faster go install;
  • Improved nFPM to make it easier for GoReleaser's debs and GoReleaser-generated debs that pass lintian checks;
  • Several improvements on GoReleaser output logs;
  • More fields are now templateable, namely on nFPMs and Universal Binaries configs;
  • Hooks now have an option to always print their outputs;
  • goreleaser build --single-target now copies the binary to CWD, also accepts a -output flag telling to copy the binary elsewhere;
  • Changelog passing through goreleaser release --release-notes now warns if the file is empty or whitespace-only, allowing to more easily debug releases;
  • You can now override build tags, ldflags, gcflags and asmflags per target platform;
  • On a similar note, you can get the runtime GOOS and GOARCH on template variables using {{ .Runtime.Goos }} and {{ .Runtime.Goarch }}.

You can see the full changelog here.
