Boring is good. ## Highlights - You can now sort tags by `semver` in [GoReleaser Pro][pro] - Docker pushes will now be retried when the registry yields a 503. It'll retry 10 times. - Winget: added support for `package_dependencies` and update schema version to 1.5.0. - GoReleaser will now run against Gerrit, Soft-Serve, and other Git providers, as long as the SCM release is disabled. - You can now ignore Git tags that match a regular expression. - You can now skip pre build hooks on `goreleaser build`. - Properly `go mod` handling on pre-mods Go versions. - WASI support. - New templateable fields and functions. - Several bug fixes, specially when the runtime OS is Windows. Besides that, some important refactories that should help evolving GoReleaser further: - `--skip` merges all the `--skip-*` flags, and will be extended to more features (open an issue requesting what you need 📩). - Template error handling was improved. - We also updated GoReleaser to Go 1.21. And, as always, several bug fixes and documentation updates! ## Windows GoReleaser was never properly tested on Windows. It somewhat works, but there are potentially many rough edges. [I started trying to make CI pass on Windows](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/pull/4293). It's a bit hard to evolve it as I don't really use Windows, so I have to juggle around VMs and/or CI. If you use Windows regularly and want to contribute, ping me on our [Discord][discord], I'm happy to help you in any way I need, especially if you are a beginner in the field and/or Go. ## Blog Our blog was migrated to this site, or, rather, is being migrated!
