v3.6.2

This version fixes a regression with the cache key calculation in v3.6.0. When using the MSBuild tasks with lots of projects you would see a greatly increased build time because each project would calculate the version multiple times.

Thanks to @tofutim for the fix and @DanielRose @rubenmamo @tpluscode @asbjornu @Martin-Andersen for contributing to the discussions to help get it fixed.

Version is incremented twice if the base version commit also has an explicit semver message was also fixed by #975 (thanks @MikeLarah)

v4.0.0-beta.1

v4 has two major changes, there likely will be a few issues which fall out of these changes hence the beta.

1. Develop tag changed from unstable to alpha

In GitFlow the default tag on develop has changed from unstable to alpha. It also more aggressively bumps, so develop. An example is below (the final tag is missing, check the docs at GitFlow examples for up to date examples

2. Introduced Mainline development mode

One of the current hard requirements for GitVersion is that you tag when you release. This is due to GitVersions predictive nature, you need to communicate back to GitVesion that you have released something which was built, then it will increment.

Mainline mode lets GitVersion imply a release from any merge or commit to master. The version in this initial beta is an initial proof of concept, it doesn't have the test coverage the other modes have. So if you find an issue please submit a pull request with a test demonstrating your issue. That way we can improve this mode and get better test coverage at the same time.

v3.6.0

This is a pretty big release with a HEAP of fixes. It has taken a little longer than we would have liked to get it out, mainly due to getting our Linux/Mac builds green.

We will be pushing a 4.0.0 build very shortly which will have some good GitFlow support improvements.

v3.5.4

This fixes a regression introduced in 3.5.3 where command line arguments were not parsed correctly.

• #866 -/updateassemblyinfo stopped working with 3.5.3 contributed by Pascal Berger (pascalberger)

v3.5.3

This fixes a number of bugs, and actually should have been a minor release because it has a new feature. You can now ignore part of history when running gitversion. This is handy when GitVersion is calculating the wrong version because of a badly named branch or something.
