Scoped settings and tasks
All posterous-sbt settings and tasks are now scoped into a configuration named "posterous". This will require you to change the way your email and password are defined (yes, again). More on that below.
Because the settings and tasked are scoped, we no longer need to prefix them to avoid collisions. So publish-notes is now just publish in the posterous scope. This is how you invoke it sbt's interactive mode:
Same goes for the old preview-notes, it's now this:
Optional email and password settings
The settings type for your email and password has changed from a String to an Option[String]. This allows the plugin to define a default value of None.
This way you can launch sbt and use it normally even an unconfigured instance of posterous-sbt is loaded. Previously, you would see a confusing error on launch. Now, you will see an error only when you try to run the posterous:publish or posterous:check options.
Settings adjustment
You need to adjust the way your user settings are configured with this release. Since all projects and users should have upgraded from sbt 0.10.0 to 0.10.1 by now, it is recommended that you remove your file ~/.sbt/plugins/user.scala if present, and instead configure using a file ~/.sbt/user.sbt:
import posterous.Publish._
(email in Posterous) := Some("you@example.com")
(password in Posterous) := Some("yourpassword")
To upgrade your global plugin
After updating your user settings as described above, update your libraryDependencies in ~/.sbt./plugins/build.sbt:
libraryDependencies <+= (sbtVersion) { sv =>
"net.databinder" %% "posterous-sbt" % ("0.3.0_sbt" + sv)
}
Project-specific settings
Information on project-specific configuration of the plugin has been added to the readme.
posterous-sbt is a plug-in for Simple Build Tool that automates publishing release notes to any Posterous site.
