Versioning policy

Deptool versions are named MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

  • The major version number is purely cosmetic and represents the author’s sentiment.
  • The minor version is bumped for new features and changes that are not bugfixes.
  • The patch version is bumped for bugfixes.

The version number is not a semantic version. Changes that have compatibility impact will be clearly marked as such in the changelog.

Unreleased.

New features:

Improvements:

  • Do not depend on shell brace expansion when installing the agent, for wider compatibility.
  • List which specific systemd units failed to become active, if any.
  • Improve the error message for when symlink reconcile fails to remove an existing path.
  • Print stderr when agent installation fails.
  • Subdirectories in the systemd directory (used for systemd drop-ins) are now handled correctly.

Bugfixes:

  • Fix a bug where an inactive unit could be masked by an active one when multiple systemd units were affected in the same deployment.

1.0.0

Released 2026-05-06.

This is the initial public release. It’s accompanied by an announcement post. The 1.0 version number represents the fact that the author uses this version successfully for personal infra. It’s not a stability commitment, though if future changes have compatibility impact, they will be clearly marked as such in this changelog.
