Release v13.0.1

This release fixes README.md, which was corrupted in the last release, and adds a tip about using UnionFS to the Cookbook.

Release v13.0.0

This release removes multi-tree operation. It just didn’t work that well, and was rarely used. Use UnionFS or equivalent instead.

Release v12.0.2

This release improves the formatting of --help output slightly.

Release v12.0.1

This release fixes the wrapping of --version output, broken in 12.0.0.

Release v12.0.0

This release makes Nancy treat symlinks like UnionFS: when the target of a symlink in one input tree is overridden by a file in another input tree, that overriding is respected. Previously, the symlink would have been followed to its original target.

This change necessitated one backwards-incompatible change: the NANCY_INPUT environment variable now refers to the input file currently being processed, not the input root under which that file is found.

Release v11.1.0

This release adds parallel execution of background tasks, configurable with the --jobs flag.

Release v11.0.1

This release fixes a test and the plain-text wrapping of the README file. There are no code changes to the program itself.

Release v11.0.0

This major release fixes the setting of the environment variable
NANCY_INPUT for $run files, removes the $filename and $realpath
commands, plus the NANCY_OUTPUT environment variable, makes $outputpath
relative to NANCY_OUTPUT, and adds the --delete and --update flags to
enable intelligent updating, especially useful for projects that take a long
time to build. The .in.nancy mechanism is replaced by a simpler and more general .copy mechanism for chained use of Nancy commands.

Thanks as ever to Alistair Turnbull, whose recent work overhauling the code base made it easier to work with and expand, and who also contributed to this release.

Release v10.3.0

This release adds a new command $filename to find files in the same way that $include does, a new command-line flag --process-hidden to allow Nancy to process hidden files and directories, and @apt1002 completely overhauled the code, and made improvements to the documentation, for which many thanks!).

Release v10.2.0

This release tweaks file copying (of untemplated files) to stop copying the metadata of the files. This means that the files will be copied with a fresh timestamp and default permissions, for example.
