a Make/rake-like dev tool using Go
The big feature for this release is mage imports. You can now import targets from another package into another magefile. This is a huge benefit for anyone that wants to reuse common targets, like gofmt etc.

The big thing in this release is fixing mg.SerialDeps, which was broken in v1.6.0 (and now has tests ro prevent that from happening again).
Ensure we print an error if running the compiled magefile fails (#171) actually parse the MAGEFILE_VERBOSE flag (#175) fix serial deps (#177) fix error handling when failing to list magefiles (#174)
PR #172 brought up a problem with systems where the magefile cachedir is on a different drive. On these machines, trying to move the generated mainfile fails because it's not a simple rename, you have to copy the data. However, this defeats the purpose of moving the mainfile, which was just to retain the modtime so the go tool wouldn't think it was newer than the compiled binary.
Upon more reflection the obvious thing to do is just to generate the mainfile tweak its mod time to be old. That's what this change does, which greatly simplifies that code, and fixes the bug.
Don't cache mainfiles, just set modtime (#173)
If you're running go 1.10 or above, Mage now use the go tool's built-in GOCACHE to determine whether or not to rebuild the binary it runs. This results in a ~100ms slower run time for small magefiles, but it removes the problem where if you change some library your magefile depends on, mage wouldn't realize it and wouldn't rebuild the binary, and thus you'd be running the old (unchanged) code.
Since go 1.9 and below don't have a GOCACHE, we maintain our (somewhat flawed) caching mechanism in those cases.
Note that this depends on the go command that mage uses to compile your magefiles, not the go command used to build mage itself.
Rely on GOCACHE rather than our own hashing mechanism (#168)
MAGEFILE_IGNOREDEFAULT flag (#167) Add -d flag to set the working directory (#159)
Add sh.Copy (#130)
make sure we test that the returned interface is non-nil before converting to error (#166) Ensure dep error propagation (#164) add code so mg.Deps understands namespaces (#163) consider missing cache dir cleaned (#162)
This release adds a -gocmd to the list of flags you can use with mage. This flag allows you to choose what command mage runs when it builds the binary of your magefile. This can be useful if you have multiple versions of go installed (e.g. with go get golang.org/dl/go1.xx), and different projects need to be built with different versions of go.
Now you can run mage -gocmd go1.11 build . or mage -gocmd go1.8.7 install etc.
The default is to use whatever "go" command is first in your path.
There's also a MAGEFILE_GOCMD environment variable you can set if you want to always default to something other than "go".
bd5486e Add support for choosing what binary to run with mage (#146) e592274 new demo video
v1.2.4 is the newest version of Mage. I stripped out v2 tags in order to keep go modules from requiring the /v2 import path. Mage is and always will be backwards compatible with earlier versions, so there's no reason to move to v2. I had originally moved to v2 with the thought that every new release would be a new major version, since Mage doesn't really need semantic versioning... but that was before semantic import versioning came around.
Apologies for any problems this causes anyone.
