0.3.2

Features
--------

* Added pytest coverage to CI/CD process. (417)
* Application metadata now contains a `Briefcase-Version` indicator. (425)
* The device list returned by `briefcase run android` now uses the Android device model name and unique ID e.g. a Pixel 3a shows up as `Pixel 3a (adbDeviceId)`. (433)
* Android apps are now packaged in Android App Bundle format. This allows the Play Store to dynmically build the smallest APK appropriate to a device installing an app. (438)
* PursuedPyBear is now included in the new project wizard. (440)

Bugfixes
--------

* iOS builds will now warn if the Xcode command line tools are the active development environment. (397)
* Linux Docker builds no longer use interactive mode, allowing builds to run on CI (or other TTY-less devices). (439)

Improved Documentation
----------------------

* Documented the process of signing Android apps & publishing them to the Google Play store. (342)

Misc
----

* 428

0.3.1

Features
--------

* The Linux AppImage backend has been modified to use Docker. This ensures that
the AppImage is always built in an environment that is compatible with the
support package. It also enables Linux AppImages to be built on macOS and
Windows. "Native" builds (i.e., builds that *don't* use Docker) can be invoked
using the ``--no-docker`` argument. (344)
* A ``PYTHONPATH`` property has been added to ``AppConfig`` that describes the
``sys.path`` changes needed to run the app. (401)
* Ad-hoc code signing is now possible on macOS with ``briefcase package
--adhoc-sign``. (409)
* Android apps can now use use ``-`` in their bundle name; we now convert ``-``
to ``_`` in the resulting Android package identifier and Java package name. (415)
* Mobile applications now support setting the background color of the splash
screen, and setting a build identifier. (422)
* Android now has a ``package`` command that produces the release APK. After
manually signing this APK, it can be published to the Google Play Store. (423)

Bugfixes
--------

* Some stray punctuation in the Android device helper output has been removed. (396)
* An explicit version check for Docker is now performed. (402)
* The Linux build process ensures the Docker user matches the UID/GID of the host
user. (403)
* Briefcase now ensures that the Python installation ecosystem tools (``pip``,
``setuptools``, and ``wheel``), are all present and up to date. (421)

Improved Documentation
----------------------

* Documented that Windows MSI builds produce per-user installable MSI installers,
while still supporting per-maching installs via the CLI. (382)
* ``CONTRIBUTING.md`` has been updated to link to Briefcase-specific
documentation. (404)
* Removed references to the ``build-system`` table in ``pyproject.toml``. (410)

0.3.0

This is a major backwards incompatible release. It is a complete, ground up rewrite of Briefcase, converting it into a PEP518 build tool instead of a setuptools extension.

It also dramatically improves support on all platforms, and contains a comprehensive test suite.

0.3.0.dev8

* Allowed for different device formats returned by simctl for iOS.
* Corrected path handling for Windows when there are multiple source paths.
* Fixed the stub publish command for macOS.
* Honor Content-Disposition headers when downloading resources.

0.3.0.dev7

* Improves error handling when git is not installed
* Sets a maximum version on Jinja2 to preserve Python 3.5 compatibility.

0.3.0.dev6

* Addressed a packaging problem with GitPython
* Various documentation improvements.
