title: Hacé version v0.1.2 is out
type: text
---
<div>
A new <a href="https://github.com/ralsina/hace/releases">release</a>
of <a href="https://github.com/ralsina/hace">Hacé</a>
my make-like tool backed by <a href="https://github.com/ralsina/croupier">Croupier</a>
is out!


<h2>Version v0.1.2</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Make tasks not be <code>default</code> by default. This means that if you<br />
don't specify a task when invoking <code>hace</code>, nothing will happen.</p>
<p><strong>This is a breaking change.</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Added <code>self</code> to exposed variables in tasks. This can be used<br />
to achieve what you would use $@ or other automatic variables<br />
in Makefiles.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Added <code>-f</code> option to specify a Hacefile to use.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Added <code>-n</code> option to do a dry run.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Added <code>always_run</code> flag for tasks which causes them to always<br />
run even if their dependencies are unchanged.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Implemented <code>--question</code> flag to ask if a task should be run.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Implemented <code>auto</code> command, which continuously rebuilds as needed<br />
reacting to filesystem changes.</p>
</li>
</ul>
