root layout

Giter8 0.7.0 introduces an experimental layout called root layout. When Giter8 does not find src/main/g8, it will simply use the root directory of the specified Git repository as the template directory.

The default.properties file can be placed either at the root directory or in project directory. This also means that you can no longer include template fields in the files under project, so the application of root layout is pretty limited. #202 by @eed3si9n

upgrade

If you're using conscript:

cs foundweekends/giter8

Fixes a regression introduced in 0.6.7.

Properties are computed out-of-order in 0.6.7 (causing breakage) #151

This release includes two user-contributed enhancements:

Move to latest version of Scalasti / StringTemplate V4 #144

Resolve latest versions through Maven metadata #136

With the second of these, giter8 templates can refer to the latest published version of an artifact using metadata you're already publishing to the central repository.

In your default.properties, define a value as maven(groupId, artifactId) to have its latest version looked up from the central repo. Keep in mind that Scala projects are typically published with a Scala version identifier in the artifact id. So for the Unfiltered library, we could refer to the latest version as follows:

unfiltered_version = maven(net.databinder, unfiltered_2.11)

Two new features:

Interactively prompt for credentials if required to access the template repository 141

A -t option to build a tagged version of a g8 template 143

Accept https scheme for template base URLs. #137

Preserve and apply file permissions found in templates. #139

This release adds a search command which uses the github API to search for repositories containing the given string, and ending with ".g8". Contributed by hadesgames in PR #128.

g8 search unfiltered

It also upgrades giter8 itself to Scala 2.10 (of interest to anyone using it as a library) via PR #111.
