Announcing GoReleaser v1.20 — a quality-of-life release

A little over 100 commits in small-ish quality-of-life improvements.

This is not a flashy release, but I bet you’re going to like it anyway 😄

Highlights

Nightlies

I’ve been releasing GoReleaser Pro Nightlies for a while now, but it never had a fixed schedule, and the OSS version never had a nightly release either.

Starting now, the Pro Nightly will be released every Wednesday, and the OSS every Thursday.

GoReleaser Pro improvements

GoReleaser Pro added a few new features:

• ability to automatically check boxes in PR templates
• alternative names for Homebrew formulas
• Dockerfile templated contents
• HTTP & Artifactory upload matrix
• nFPM templated_scripts
• goreleaser release --single-target
• Release’s footer/header can be set to file paths/URLs in the configuration file

Nix

We added Nix support in the previous release, and in this one we added a few improvements:

• zip support
• the ability to define runtime dependencies
• make it easier to extend with a new extra_install option

extra_install

Speaking of extra install instructions, we added this option to brew too.

mod_timestamp

We added the ability to set a mod_timestamp to both metadata files and to universal binaries.

Other improvements and bug fixes

This release also adds a few other small improvements, here’s a few of them:

• Scoops now support arm64
• Winget got the PortableCommandAlias option
• Release on GitHub now has the make_latest option
• You can now disable custom publishers using templates
• goreleaser init and overall goreleaser release output improvements

Make sure to read the full release notes, and the pro version release notes as well.

As always, we also had a bunch of bug fixes and documentation improvements.
