# Upgrade from 6.x to 7.x

1. Change `hostname` to `alias`.
2. Change `real_hostname` to `hostname`.
3. Change `user` to `remote_user`.
4. Update `host()` definitions:
    1. Add `set` prefix to all setters: `identityFile` -> `setIdentityFile` or `set('identify_file')`
    2. Update `addSshOption('UserKnownHostsFile', '/dev/null')` to `setSshArguments(['-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null']);`
    3. Replace _stage_ with labels, i.e.
       ```php
       host('deployer.org')
           ->set('labels', ['stage' => 'prod']); 
       ```
    4. `alias()` is deleted, `host()` itself sets alias and hostname, to override hostname use `setHostname()`.
5. Update `task()` definitions.
    1. Replace `onRoles()` with `select()`:
       ```php
       task(...)
           ->select('stage=prod');
       ``` 
6. Third party recipes now live inside main Deployer repo in _contrib_:
   ```php
   require 'contrib/rsync.php';
   ```
7. Replace `inventory()` with `import()`. It now can import hosts, configs, tasks:
   ```yaml
   import: recipe/common.php
   
   config:
     application: deployer
     shared_dirs:
       - uploads
       - storage/logs/
       - storage/db
     shared_files:
       - .env
       - config/test.yaml
     keep_releases: 3
     http_user: false
   
   hosts:
     prod:
       local: true
   
   tasks:
     deploy:
       - deploy:prepare
       - deploy:vendors
       - deploy:publish
   
     deploy:vendors:
       script: 'cd {{release_path}} && echo {{bin/composer}} {{composer_options}} 2>&1'
   ``` 
8. Rename success task in ~~success~~ to `deploy:success`.
9. Verbosity function (`isDebug()`, etc) deleted. Use `output()->isDebug()` instead.

# Upgrade from 5.x to 6.x

1. Changed branch option priority

    If you have host definition with `branch(...)` parameter, adding `--branch` option will not override it any more.
    If no `branch(...)` parameter persists, branch will be fetched from current local git branch. 
    
    ```php
    host('prod')
        ->set('branch', 'production')
    ```
    
    In order to return to old behavior add checking of `--branch` option.
    
    ```php
    host('prod')
        ->set('branch', function () {
            return input()->getOption('branch') ?: 'production';
        })
    ```    
    
2. Add `deploy:info` task to the beginning to `deploy` task.
    
3. `run` returns string instead of `Deployer\Type\Result`
   
    Now `run` and `runLocally` returns `string` instead of `Deployer\Type\Result`. 
    Replace method calls as:
    
    * `run('command')->toString()` → `run('command')`
    * `run('if command; then echo "true"; fi;')->toBool()` → `test('command')`

4. `env_vars` renamed to `env`

    * `set('env_vars', 'FOO=bar');` → `set('env', ['FOO' => 'bar']);`

    If your are using Symfony recipe, then you need to change `env` setting:
    
    * `set('env', 'prod');` → `set('symfony_env', 'prod');`

# Upgrade from 4.x to 5.x

1. Servers to Hosts
   
   * `server($hostname)` to `host($hostname)`, and `server($name, $hostname)` to `host($name)->hostname($hostname)`
   * `localServer($name)` to `localhost()`
   * `cluster($name, $nodes, $port)` to `hosts(...$hodes)`
   * `serverList($file)` to `inventory($file)`
   
   If you need to deploy to same server use [host aliases](https://deployer.org/docs/hosts#host-aliases):
   
   ```php
   host('domain.com/green', 'domain.com/blue')
       ->set('deploy_path', '~/{{hostname}}')
       ...
   ```
   
   Or you can define different hosts with same hostname:
   
   ```php
   host('production')
       ->hostname('domain.com')
       ->set('deploy_path', '~/production')       
       ...
       
   host('beta')
       ->hostname('domain.com')
       ->set('deploy_path', '~/beta')       
       ...       
   ```
  
2. Configuration options

   * Rename `{{server.name}}` to `{{hostname}}`
   
3. DotArray syntax

   In v5 access to nested arrays in config via dot notation was removed. 
   If you was using it, consider to move to plain config options.
   
   Refactor this:
   
   ```php
   set('a', ['b' => 1]);
   
   // ...
   
   get('a.b');
   ```
   
   To:
   
   ```php
   set('a_b', 1);
   
   // ...
   
   get('a_b');
   ```
   
4. Credentials 

   Best practice in new v5 is to omit credentials for connection in `deploy.php` and write them in `~/.ssh/config` instead.
 
   * `identityFile($publicKeyFile,, $privateKeyFile, $passPhrase)` to `identityFile($privateKeyFile)`
   * `pemFile($pemFile)` to `identityFile($pemFile)`
   * `forwardAgent()` to `forwardAgent(true)`
   
5. Tasks constraints
 
   * `onlyOn` to `onHosts`
   * `onlyOnStage` to `onStage`
   

# Upgrade from 3.x to 4.x

1. Namespace for functions

   Add to beginning of *deploy.php* next line:

   ```php
   use function Deployer\{server, task, run, set, get, add, before, after};
   ```

   If you are using PHP version less than 5.6, you can use this:

   ```php
   namespace Deployer;
   ```

2. `env()` to `set()`/`get()`

   Rename all calls `env($name, $value)` to `set($name, $value)`.

   Rename all rvalue `env($name)` to `get($name)`.

   Rename all `server(...)->env(...)` to `server(...)->set(...)`.

3. Moved *NonFatalException*

   Rename `Deployer\Task\NonFatalException` to `Deployer\Exception\NonFatalException`.

4. Prior release cleanup

   Due to changes in release management, the new cleanup task will ignore any prior releases deployed with 3.x.  These will need to be manually removed after migrating to and successfully releasing via 4.x.

# Upgrade from 2.x to 3.x

1. ### `->path('...')`

   Replace your server paths configuration:

   ```php
   server(...)
     ->path(...);
   ```

   to:

   ```php
   server(...)
     ->env('deploy_path', '...');
   ```
