Announcing GoReleaser v1.21 — mostly bug fixes

A boring release, mostly bug fixes. Boring is good.

Highlights

• You can now sort tags by semver in GoReleaser Pro
• Docker pushes will now be retried when the registry yields a 503. It’ll retry 10 times.
• Winget: added support for package_dependencies and update schema version to 1.5.0.
• GoReleaser will now run against Gerrit, Soft-Serve, and other Git providers, as long as the SCM release is disabled.
• You can now ignore Git tags that match a regular expression.
• You can now skip pre build hooks on goreleaser build.
• Properly go mod handling on pre-mods Go versions.
• WASI support.
• New templateable fields and functions.
• Several bug fixes, specially when the runtime OS is Windows.

Besides that, some important refactories that should help evolving GoReleaser further:

• --skip merges all the --skip-* flags, and will be extended to more features (open an issue requesting what you need 📩).
• Template error handling was improved.
• We also updated GoReleaser to Go 1.21.

And, as always, several bug fixes and documentation updates!

Windows

GoReleaser was never properly/extensive tested on Windows. It somewhat works, but there are many rough edges, and potentially some bugs here and there.

To make Windows a first-class runtime for GoReleaser, I started trying to make CI pass on Windows. It’s a bit hard to evolve it as I don’t really use Windows, and end up having to juggle around VMs and/or CI.

If you use Windows regularly and want to contribute to OSS, ping me on our Discord, I’m happy to help you in any way you need, especially if you are a beginner in the field and/or Go.

It still a work in progress, though. You can also see the still-open issue here

The old address will still be up indefinitely, but we won’t be updating it any longer.
