Cask v0.5

Cask v0.5 is released! The release mostly includes small changes such as bug fixes, clean up and code refactoring. But there are a few features worth mentioning.

Upgrade command

Previously, updating Cask has been somewhat of pain. Now it’s as simple as running cask upgrade. This will upgrade Cask, but also all of Cask’s dependencies.

Outdated command

Now you can find out what packages are outdated by running the command cask outdated. This command will print a list of all dependencies with a newer version available. It will print the package name, current version and new available version.

EPL

To handle the many quirks and inconsistencies in package.el, we wrote a package called epl.el, which is a layer on top of package.el. It has a nice interface and works from Emacs 23 to trunk.
