Capistrano v3.1.0 Release Notes

  • 💥 Breaking changes:

    • deploy:restart task is no longer run by default. From this version, developers who restart the app on each deploy need to declare it in their deploy flow (eg after 'deploy:publishing', 'deploy:restart') or, for passenger applications, use the capistrano-passenger gem.

      Please, check https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/commit/4e6523e1f50707499cf75eb53dce37a89528a9b0 for more information. (@kirs)

      • Minor changes

    • Tasks that used linked_dirs and linked_files now run on all roles, not just app roles (@mikespokefire)

    • Tasks deploy:linked_dirs, deploy:make_linked_dirs, deploy:linked_files, deploy:cleanup_rollback, deploy:log_revision and deploy:revert_release now use release_roles() not roles() meaning that they will only run on servers where the no_release property is not falsy. (@leehambley)

    • Fixed bug when deploy:cleanup was executed twice by default (@kirs)

    • Config location can now be changed with deploy_config_path and stage_config_path options (@seenmyfate)
