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
If the current value is already unstable then we presume the user is happy to take newer unstable versions. However we should not presume that they want to keep jumping versions if so and instead would prefer to stabilise.
Discussed in #2258 but does not close it
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 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 the library `linkify-markdown` to actively linkify urls, issues and usernames so that they can then be linked to the renovatebot redirector for github.
Adds description if onboarding PR is edited or conflicted. Removes config description if PR has been edited. Adds description of PR rate limiting.
Closes#1317, Closes#1684, Closes#1359
