Release 1.4

[sheerun]

For 1.4 I want to release only few features:

• Add login and unregister commands (Unregister and login commands (rebased) #1719)
• Better homedir detection (514eb8f)
• Add --save-exact flag Add --save-exact flag #1654
• Ensure extracted files are readable (tar-fs) [fix] Ensure extracted files are readable, update tar-fs #1548
• Improved Windows support (AppVeyor CI, tests actually passing on Windows)
• Some minor fixes: "Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json" needs a line break #1639, Showing --no-color in help #1620, Add extra newline at the end of help-cache.std #1576, Added return character #1557, 962a565, a464f5a
• Automatically detecting smart Git hosts (Automatically detecting smart Git hosts #1628)
• The version command in the programmatic API now returns the new version (Fixes #1754: The version command in the programmatic API now returns the new version #1755)
• [bower/config#23] Allow npm config variables (Accept npm's config variables in package.json #1711)
• [bower/config#24] Merge .bowerrc files upwards directory tree (fixes) Merge .bowerrc with global bower #1689

It'll also include greatly improved test coverage (~60% -> ~88%), and many refactors.

I hope it'll break vicious cycle of patch releases.

Things to do before release:

• Finish tests for bower login (@sheerun)
• Implement two-factor authentication for login command
• Review diff of all non-test changes (e.g. probably SVNResolver needs some reverting, see windows slash appended to svn info by bower #1721)
• Create release draft on GitHub with all changes
• Review of master branch
• Bump package.json to 1.4.0, publish tag on github, and release on npm

@samccone Anything you'd like to add?

[samccone]

hey @sheerun let me get all caught up on the notifications and take a look at what you have done.
I think login and unregister commands is the last big thing in my mind .. but will come back to this 👍

[sheerun]

@samccone @nwinkler @desandro @benschwarz @satazor

1.4.0 is ready to be released on master branch. Could you review? (especially login / unregister feature, but also other changes mentioned above). I'd like to release tomorrow if you see no issues.

[sheerun]

Oh, also @zanona and @kodypeterson

[sheerun]

btw. It's more about testing if mentioned features actually work, rather than reviewing the code :)

[nwinkler]

Sure - I'll take a look at this today. I'll be testing the #1628 functionality.

[nwinkler]

I've tested the #1628 Shallow Cloning option against the following:

• GitHub.com
• BitBucket.org
• Our on-premise Atlassian Stash instance

All three work fine, shallow cloning is enabled automatically for them, based on the server's response.

I don't have access to a GitHub Enterprise instance to verify it against that. Does anyone have access to an instance they could test this with?

When you run bower install --verbose, there should be a line like the following for non-GitHub hosts:

bower repo#master detect-smart-git Smart Git host detected: true

For GitHub Enterprise, it should print false instead of true, resulting in a full clone, not a shallow one.

[desandro]

Success!
