- **`--check` preflight** — validates branch, working tree, shallow clone, remote URL, push auth, version files, and release target without releasing; reports all problems at once, non-zero exit on failure
- **Shallow clone detection** — refuses to release when the clone is shallow and no previous tag is found (tags may be beyond the fetch depth); `--allow-shallow` bypasses the guard for a genuine first release
- **CI branch detection fallback** — on detached HEAD, the branch name falls back to `CI_COMMIT_BRANCH`, then `CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` (GitLab CI), then `GITHUB_REF_NAME` (GitHub Actions); `--branch` is no longer required in CI
### Fixed
- **Detached HEAD push** — go-git pushes silently skipped the branch update in detached CI checkouts (only the tag was pushed); the branch is now pushed from HEAD's commit hash
- **Release notifications** — best-effort notification on release to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Telegram, and/or a generic JSON webhook via the new `notify` config section; every target is independently opt-in (config file or env var), and a failed notification never fails the release
- **Python `pyproject.toml` support** — opt-in via `python.pyproject_toml` (single) or `python.pyproject_tomls` (list); reads `[project].version` (PEP 621) first, then `[tool.poetry].version`; original formatting preserved; `--pyproject <path>` CLI flag for one-off overrides
- **Gradle support** — opt-in via `gradle.build_file` (single path) or `gradle.build_files` (list, overrides single); supports both Groovy DSL (`version = '1.2.3'`) and Kotlin DSL (`version = "1.2.3"`); original quote style preserved on write; `--gradle <path>` CLI flag for one-off overrides
## v1.5.1 — 2026-07-11
### Added
- **Documentation site** — Hugo + Geekdoc; installation, CLI reference, configuration, CI integration, and changelog pages; deployed to `gh-pages` via Gitea CI on push to `main`
- **`FuzzUpdate`** in `internal/changelog` and **`FuzzWriteVersion`** in `internal/node` — complete fuzz coverage for all file-rewriting packages
### Changed
- **CLAUDE.md** — fuzzing completeness guidelines with authoritative table
- **Multi-module Maven support** — `maven.pom_paths: [...]` lists multiple `pom.xml` paths; overrides `pom_path`; each path is updated and committed in the same release commit
- **Node.js `package.json` support** — opt-in via `node.package_json` (single path) or `node.package_jsons` (list); version bumped in-place alongside `pom.xml` and `CHANGELOG.md`
- **`git.bump_rules` config** — controls which version component each commit type bumps: `breaking`, `feat`, `fix` each accept `"patch"` (default) or `"minor"`
- **100% per-package statement coverage** across all 12 packages via injectable function vars
### Changed
- **`--pom` flag** now clears `maven.pom_paths` before setting `maven.pom_path`
- **`version.Next()` signature** — accepts a bump-rules map as a sixth parameter; `nil` defaults to all-patch
- **Verbose config table** — now includes `git.bump_rules.*`, `maven.pom_paths`, and `node.paths` rows
## v1.4.0 — 2026-07-11
### Added
- **GitHub release support** — `internal/ghclient` package; configured via `github.token` + `github.repo`; GitHub takes precedence over GitLab when both are configured
- **`git.releasable_types` config** — opt-in list of commit types that count as releasable
- **CHANGELOG deduplication guard** — `changelog.Update()` is idempotent; skips write if section already exists
## v1.3.0 — 2026-07-07
### Added
- **`release.env` dotenv artifact** — written on every real release containing `NEXT_VERSION=<tag>`; never committed; exposes the version to downstream GitLab CI jobs
## v1.2.0 — 2026-07-07
### Added
- **`--verbose` flag** — prints config table, commit list with parsed types, and version decision
