v0.9.22 - 2014-09-22
--------------------

### Features and improvements ###

 - Implemented an improved dependency handling (supported by Matthias Dondorff)
	 - Deprecated `"~branch"` based dependencies - these have proven to facilitate unresolvable versioning conflicts
	 - Added a "selections" file that contains the pinned versions of all dependencies for more control - `dub upgrade` can be used to update this file
	 - Package selections can be overridden user or system wide using `dub add-override`
	 - When determining the version of a GIT working copy, the latest tag is preferred over the branch
	 - See the [full rationale](https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub/wiki/...)
 - Implemented the `dub dustmite` command for comfortable creation of reduced test cases of DUB packages
	 - All packages are automatically copied to an isolated folder where [Dustmite](https://github.com/CyberShadow/DustMite/wiki) can do its job
	 - DUB is run in a special mode that doesn't require expensive initialization, so that it doesn't slow down the reduction process
	 - The test condition can be a specific exit code or an output regex match on either the compiler, linker, or program run
 - Added support for single file builds (by Mathias Lang aka Geod24) - [pull #364][issue364]
 - The special `"*"` version specification now matches any version or branch (should always be used for referencing sub packages of the same package)
 - Warn about using certain build options outside of build types (in addition to warning about certain `"dflags"`)
 - Removed explicit linking against Phobos on Linux when building using DUB (fixed building with DMD 2.065)
 - Fixed imports for DMD master (by John Colvin) - [pull #283][issue283]
 - Path based dependencies don't require a version number anymore (ignored)
 - Add support for vibe.d based HTTP downloads for better integration into vibe.d projects
 - `"mainSourceFile"` is now implicitly added to `"sourceFiles"`
 - `"preGenerateCommands"` are now run before collecting source files, enabling better support for generating source files - [issue #144][issue144]
 - Added a `-missing-only` switch to `dub upgrade` to get the same upgrade/fetch behavior as for `dub build` - see also [issue #271][issue271]
 - The default compiler is now the one that was used to build DUB itself (by Iain Buclaw) - [pull #303][issue303]
 - When running an executable, the working directory is now only changed if an explicit `"workingDirectory"` is specified
 - The compiler is now invoked to determine the actual build platform for the chosen compiler flags instead of simply guessing
	 - Implemented for GDC by Kinsey Moore aka opticron - [pull #324][issue324]
 - Added a basic `dub clean` command - [issue #134][issue134]
 - Added a spell checker for the `-c`/`--config` flag (by Andrej Mitrovic) - [pull #313][issue313]
 - Added support for `$ROOT_PACKAGE_DIR` and `$<dependency>_PACKAGE_DIR` variables
 - Generalized the `--local`/`--system` flags to `--cache=<location>`, which is now available for all commands (by Colden Cullen) - [pull #306][issue306]
 - Added a `--build-mode` switch to choose between combined build and separate compile/link for DMD
 - When building a static library, its dependencies are not built anymore - [issue #316][issue316]
 - Displaying the line number where parsing a JSON document fails - see [issue #317][issue317]
 - Added a shorthand syntax for sub packages (":subpack" instead of "parent:subpack") - [issue #315][issue315]
 - Replace all "package.json" files/mentions with "dub.json" and clean up white space throughout the code base (by James Clarke aka jrtc27) - [pull #337][issue337], [pull #338][issue338], [pull #339][issue339]
 - `dub describe` not outputs all source/import files of all configurations and platforms - [issue #185][issue185]
 - Added basic support for the new human readable `"systemDependencies"` field
 - Added a `--temp-build` switch to force building in a temporary folder - [issue #294][issue294]
 - Using `executeShell` when invoking tools to enable more flexible use of shell features - [issue #356][issue356]
 - `dub init` now creates a default `.gitignore` file
 - An exit code of `-9` for a tool now triggers a short message with a possible cause (out of memory)
 - The information about possible package upgrades is now cached for one day, resulting in less online queries to the package registry
 - Implemented separate compile/link mode for GDC (by Mathias Lang aka Geod24) - [pull #367][issue367]
 - `.def` files are now passed to the linking stage when doing separate compile/link building
 - Added BASH shell completion script (by Per Nordlöw) - [issue #154][issue154]
 - Added FISH shell completion script (by Matt Soucy) - [pull #375][issue375]

v0.9.21 - 2014-02-22
--------------------

### Features and improvements ###

 - Implemented building dependencies as separate libraries (use `--combined` to use - almost - the old behavior)
 - The preferred package description file name is now "dub.json" instead of "package.json" (which is still supported)
 - Revamped command line help now shows detailed help for each command
 - Added `dub test` to run the unit tests of a package using a custom main() function
 - Public sub packages can now (and are recommended to) reside in sub folders
 - Added ruby style `~>` version specifications: `"~>1.0.2"` is equivalent to `">=1.0.2 <1.1.0"` and `"~>1.3"` is equivalent to `">=1.3.0 <2.0.0"`
 - `--annotate` now works for all commands
 - Added a `--force-remove` switch to force package removal when untracked files are found in a package folder
 - Added a `"mainSourceFile"` field to better control how `--rdmd` and `dub test` work
 - The target binary (if any) is now automatically deleted after a linker error to avoid partially linked binaries
 - Added `--force` to `dub build` and `dub run` to force recompilation even if already up to date
 - Renamed the "debug_" and "release" build options to "debugMode" and "releaseMode" to avoid the D keyword clash
 - Renamed the "noBoundsChecks" build option to "noBoundsCheck" to be consistent with the corresponding build requirement
 - `dub init xxx vibe.d` now emits a `-version=VibeDefaultMain` as required by the latest versions
 - Reimplemented the VisualD project generator to use the new compile target logic
    - Instead of `dub generate visuald-combined` use `dub generate visuald --combined`
    - Properly handles the explicit library target types (those other than `"targetType": "library"`)
 - Added support for `dub add-local` without an explicit version argument (will be inferred using GIT) (by p0nce) - [pull #194][issue194]
 - Added a new "release-nobounds" build type
 - Improved the error message when "dub remove" fails because of a missing installation journal
 - Removed the Mono-D project generator - use Mono-D's built in DUB support instead
 - Added support for public sub packages in sub folders - this is the preferred way to use sub packages, see <http://code.dlang.org/package-format#sub-packages>
 - Only "main.d"/"app.d" or "packname/main.d"/"packname/app.d" are now automatically treated as `"mainSourceFile"` for executable targets and none for library targets
 - Excessive/unknown command line arguments now result in an error
 - The "checking dependencies" message on startup is now a diagnostic message
 - A `"dflags"` entry of the form `-defaultlib=*` for DMD is now passed to the linking stage for separate compilation
 - Added simple support for `--arch=x86` and `--arch=x86_64` and LDC
 - The order of source files as passed to the compiler is now sorted by name to avoid random triggering of order dependent compiler issues

### Bug fixes ###

 - Fixed a malformed log message for files with modification times in the future
 - Fixed handling of absolute working directories
 - Fixed a segmentation fault on OS X when doing `dub upgrade` - [issue #179][issue179]
