Previously if grouping, all major/minor updates within that group were combined into one. Instead, we now honour the “separateMajorMinor”, "separateMinorPatch", and "separateMultipleMajor" settings and keep the groups separate if necessary.
For maximum compatibility with existing PRs, we name branches like `renovate/group-name` whenever possible and only name them like `renovate/major-group-name` or `renovate/patch-group-name` if major or patch are found.
Closes#2425
Adds new admin option “skipInstalls” that is applicable for npm-only for now (including lerna-npm). If set to false, Renovate will perform a full install of modules rather than `—package-lock-only`. This is necessary in some cases to work around bugs in npm.
Self-hosted bot users can set this option themselves on the bot’s config, but app users will require it to be enabled per-repository by the app admin.
Adds field prettyDepType available for templates, currently used for npm only. Allows for PR titles like “Update devDependency left-pad to v1.3.0” instead of default “Update dependency left-pad to v1.3.0”.
To enable in PR titles: add this configuration: `"commitMessageTopic": "{{prettyDepType}} {{depName}}”`
This is not enabled by default as otherwise it could lead to the reopening of previously manually-closed PRs.
Closes#2371, Closes#1863
Adds support for GitHub-hosted presets, using the `github>` prefix. Supports single preset per repository only.
Example:
```json
{
"extends": ["github>renovatebot/renovate"]
}
```
The above would extend the `renovate.json` inside this repository (probably not a good idea, but an example).
Closes#2102, Closes#2312
Adds rules to skip any configured grouping or schedules that prevent insecure packages from being updated immediately.
If GitHub's vulnerability alerts are detected, package rules are added to force empty schedule and grouping for each affected package. Settings are configurable via new `vulnerabilityAlerts` config object, e.g. so that custom PR titles, labels or assignees can be configured.
Closes#1567
Adds new config option `rollbackPrs` which defaults to `true` (current behaviour). Setting to false will disable creation of rollback PRs - configurable globally, per-language, per-package, etc.
Adds support for .gitlabci.yml files. Part of the logic is same as Docker Compose files, however the “services” list is new/different so requires additional logic.
Closes#1598
Refactors template logic to test for isSingleVersion instead of the negative of isRange. This means that new values like `==1.2.0` in python will be presented as v1.2.0
If an encrypted npmToken is found alongside an unencrypted npmrc in config, then the token will replace any `${NPM_TOKEN}` placeholder found, or be appended to the end of the file. This enables large npmrc files to be defined in config without needing to enrypt the entire thing.
Closes#1796
