# Changelog

## 1.7.7 - 2015-01-27

Revert locations of all files while still packaging `node_modules`.

It's because people are depending on internals of bower, like
`bower/lib/renderers/StandardRenderer`. We want to preserve this
implicit contract, but we discourage it. The only official way
to use bower programmatically is through `require('bower')`.

## 1.7.6 - 2015-01-27

- Revert location of "bin/bower" as developers are using it directly ([#2157](https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/2157))
  Note: Correctly, you should use an alias created in `npm bin --global`.

## 1.7.5 - 2015-01-26

- Remove analytics from Bower, fixes ([#2150](https://github.com/bower/bower/pull/2150))
- Default to ^ operator on `bower install --save` ([#2145](https://github.com/bower/bower/pull/2145))

- When strictSsl is false, set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true ([#2129](https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/2129))

## 1.0.0 - 2013-07-23

Total rewrite of bower.
The list bellow highlights the most important stuff.
For a complete list of changes that this rewrite and release brings please read: https://github.com/bower/bower/wiki/Rewrite-state


- Clear architecture and separation of concerns
- Much much faster
- `--json` output for all commands
- `--offline` usage for all commands, except `register`
- Proper `install` and `update` commands, similar to `npm` in behaviour
- Named endpoints when installing, e.g. `bower install backbone-amd=backbone#~1.0.0`
- New interactive conflict resolution strategy
- Prevent human errors when using `register`
- New `home` command, similar to `npm`
- New `cache list` command
- New `prune` command
- Many many general bug fixes

Non-backwards compatible changes:

- The value of the `json` property from .bowerrc is no longer used
- `--map` and `--sources` from the list command were removed, use `--json` instead
- Programmatic usage changed, specially the commands interface

Users upgrading from `bower-canary` and `bower@~0.x.x` should do a `bower cache clean`.
Additionally you may remove the `~/.bower` folder manually since it's no longer used.
On Windows the folder is located in `AppData/bower`.
