4.0.0-alpha.21

This release changes the default behavior of the sync command.

A plain configlet sync now makes no changes to the track
directory, and instead behaves as configlet sync --check did.

The old behavior of configlet sync, which was interactively syncing
the tests, is now implemented as configlet sync --update.

This is the first step towards overhauling the sync design to also
handle syncing docs, metadata, and filepaths.

4.0.0-alpha.14

This biggest change this release is for configlet sync.

Specification update

The previous format for a tests.toml file was like:

[canonical-tests]

# lowercase words
"79ae3889-a5c0-4b01-baf0-232d31180c08" = true

This release updates configlet sync so that it reads and writes each
tests.toml file using the new format:

[79ae3889-a5c0-4b01-baf0-232d31180c08]
description = "lowercase words"

Note that:

• A missing include property implies include = true.
• We remove any explicit include = true in a tests.toml file when
  that file is regenerated, which happens when configlet includes or
  excludes a new test case.
• We try to preserve custom properties (where the key is named something
  other than include or description), but we do not currently
  preserve the existing whitespace.

New features

• lint: require some arrays to have unique items (#296)
• lint(validators): support checking arrays for duplicates (#295)
• lint(track_config): validate editor language properties (#294)
• lint(concept_exercises): validate icon property (#293)

4.0.0-alpha.13

New features

With this release, configlet lint now checks that the value of every uuid key:

• matches the regular expression ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-4[0-9a-f]{3}-[89ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$
• is unique within the track

It does not yet check that each value is unique across all Exercism tracks. But it will later.

A user can generate a suitable UUID by running configlet uuid.

4.0.0-alpha.12

New features

• lint: add kebab-case checks (#274)
