We’re excited to announce the release of repver v0.2.0, now available on GitHub! Published on June 16, 2025, this release builds on the foundation laid by our initial launch and brings enhanced usability to the repver CLI tool.

What’s New

The standout feature in v0.2.0 is the new --version flag. You can now run repver --version at any time to display your installed version number - a simple but essential addition for anyone managing multiple installations or verifying upgrade success.

Beyond this visible enhancement, v0.2.0 includes important maintenance updates:

  • Go runtime upgraded through three incremental versions (1.24.1 to 1.24.4) for improved performance and security
  • Updated GitHub Actions tooling for more reliable CI/CD workflows
  • Documentation improvements including added usage examples

Why It Matters

This release marks repver’s transition from “Concept” to “Active” status. The consistent maintenance cadence - regular Go runtime updates, dependency management via Dependabot, and responsive feature additions - demonstrates a commitment to keeping the tool production-ready.

For users, this means:

  • Better visibility: The version flag makes it easy to confirm which version you’re running
  • Reliability: Up-to-date dependencies mean better security and compatibility
  • Growing confidence: An actively maintained project with transparent development practices

The tool itself continues to solve a real problem for developers: automating batch string replacements (like version number updates) across multiple files while handling Git operations automatically. Whether you’re updating documentation, Dockerfiles, or configuration files where Dependabot can’t reach, repver streamlines the process.

Getting Started

New users: Download the appropriate binary for your platform from the v0.2.0 releases page. Pre-built binaries are available for Linux (amd64, arm64, 386), macOS (amd64, arm64), and Windows (amd64, 386).

Upgrading from v0.1.0: Simply replace your existing repver binary with the new version. Your .repver configuration files remain fully compatible - no migration needed. Verify your upgrade by running repver --version.

Full installation instructions and usage examples are available in the README.
