release: v0.4.2

[EverlastingBugstopper]

[0.4.2] - 2022-02-11

🚀 Features

• Adds launch URL feedback to rover subgraph publish - @Y-Guo, Add launch url feedback to subgraph publish #989

  If a rover subgraph publish invocation kicks off a launch, it will now output the URL associated with the launch so you can go right to it in Studio.

• Improve messaging for rover subgraph check - @david-castaneda, Improve messaging for rover subgraph check #980

  In the case where the API schema does not change after a subgraph check but the core schema was modified, you are now notified as such rather than being displayed a confusing "there were no changes detected" message.

🐛 Fixes

• Omit Float scalars from introspection result - @lrlna, fix(rover-client): introspection result should omit Float scalar #988 fixes Rover adds Scalar Float to schema graphql file #985

  Since Float is a built-in GraphQL scalar type, it is no longer included in Rover's introspection results.

• Fix configuration error messages when there are no profiles - @EverlastingBugstopper, fix: proper configuration error messages #995 fixes Improve errors and messages when you haven't configured auth at all #783

  Rover had a hard time detecting when there were no configured profiles, so it never actually emitted error E020. Now it does, and we also get some performance improvements by only parsing environment variables on startup rather than on every time they are needed.

• No longer panic when printing large output - @EverlastingBugstopper, fix: handle pipe errors #955 fixes bug: pipe error #842

  Migrate away from the println and eprintln macros that can cause panics from time to time and instead use calm_io to gracefully handle output.

• Lowers the maximum required glibc version from 2.18 to 2.17 - @EverlastingBugstopper, chore: lower the max glibc version to 2.17 #990 fixes supergraph compose should call SubgraphFetchQuery only one time, not once for every subgraph #992

  We build Rover in Docker with the centos:7 base image, which has glibc v2.17 installed. This means we can lower our installer requirements to 2.17, allowing folks on older machines like centos to install Rover. Thanks to @theJC for the report and help with testing!

• Removes unused --profile argument from rover subgraph introspect - @EverlastingBugstopper, fix: removes --profile from rover subgraph introspect #950 fixes --profile does nothing in rover subgraph introspect #948

🛠 Maintenance

• Use apollo-encoder in rover-client - @lrlna, rover-client: use apollo-encoder in rover-client #939

  sdl-encoder has been replaced with the official apollo-encoder from the apollo-rs ecosystem.

• Add PR template - @EverlastingBugstopper, chore: adds PR template #488

  Now folks who are kind enough to contribute pull requests to Rover's repository will have a helpful template to fill out.

• Fix mechanism for building old versions of Rover - @EverlastingBugstopper, fix: build with versioned schemas #973 fixes Build fails with the recent schema from Apollo #967

  If a build is executed via cargo xtask dist --version vx.x.x, it will now actually download the schema it needs from the GitHub release artifacts page in order to build for the exact types that were built at that tagged version.

• Allow Rover to be installed alongside Node.js v17 - @EverlastingBugstopper, chore: support node 17 in rover installer #999 fixes installer+npm: increase range of engines to support Node.js 17 #993

• Run plugin tests and lints in xtask - @EverlastingBugstopper, chore: clean up xtask for plugins #977 fixes Run plugin tests and lints in xtask #909

• Adds new unused input type to check mutations - @EverlastingBugstopper, fix: add new unused input type to check mutations #969 fixes Build fails with the recent schema from Apollo #967

  Update the inputs to our check mutations to always send null for the excludedOperationNames field.

📚 Documentation

• Add docs for rover supergraph fetch - @StephenBarlow, Document supergraph fetch #971 fixes document supergraph fetch #952

• Miscellaneous documentation polish - @StephenBarlow, Various docs tidying for Rover #965, Clarify subgraph name rules plus some copyedits #963
