Release Notes

• Fix pull of private images on certain registries (#74).
• Fix missing user-provided environment variables during detection (#83).
• Use image name to locate cache volume (instead of app path) (buildpacks/roadmap#28).
• Add pack stacks command to list stacks (buildpacks/roadmap#24).
• Clean-up log output from the pack CLI / lifecycle
• Add color to the pack CLI when used from a terminal (buildpacks/roadmap#33). (Pass --no-color to manually disable.)
• Add --quiet flag (buildpacks/roadmap#32).

Experimental Features

This release introduces a hidden --clear-cache flag to pack build that often fails due to poor clean-up after pack receives SIGINT or SIGTERM. This flag will be documented in the next release. Will also improve the container clean-up logic in the next release so that stopped containers are removed (and are never left bound to volumes).

Upcoming Features

• In the next release, builders will encode a default run image. Pack's config.toml will only used to create builders. (Note: this feature was rescheduled from v0.0.9 to v0.0.10.)
