CHANGELOG

v1.9.0-beta

Welcome to the first new version of HackMyResume in over a year. The purpose of this release is to gather feature enhancements and bug fixes collected over the past 18 months as we reorganize, rebrand, and prepare for the 2.0 release.

Added

  • Support for private resume fields. Mark any non-leaf node in your resume JSON with the private property and it will be omitted from outbound resumes.

    "employment": {
  "history": [
    {
      "employer": "Acme Real Estate"
    },
    {
      "employer": "Area 51 Alien Research Laboratory",
      "private": true
    },
    {
      "employer": "H&R Block"
    }
  ]
}

  • Support for PDF generation through WeasyPrint in addition to the existing support for wkhtmltopdf and PhantomJS.

  • Theme authors can now develop and package custom Handlebars theme helpers via the helpers key of the theme.json file (FRESH themes only) (#158).

  • Help system has been updated with a HELP command and dedicated help pages for each command.

  • Theme authors can relocate theme assets with the baseFolder property in the FRESH theme.json.

  • HackMyResume will now validate the options file (if any) loaded with -o or --options and warn the user if necessary.

  • Ability to disable Handlebars encoding/escaping of resume fields with --no-escape.

  • Introduced the fresh-test-themes project as a repository for simple, test-only resume themes in the FRESH format.

  • Fixed an issue involving an unhelpful spawn-related exception (#136).

Internal

  • JSHint will no longer gripe at the use of == null and != null in CoffeeScript transpilation.

  • Introduced template-friendly Awesome-CV fork to isolate template expansion logic & provide better durability for HackMyResume's awesome theme.

  • Fixed a couple temporary regressions (#139, #140) on the dev branch.

v1.7.4

Added

  • More precise date handling.

Fixed

  • Issue with incomplete PDF generation (#127).

  • Issue with building JSON Resume themes (#128).

  • Issue with generating .json output format by itself (#97).

v1.7.3

Fixed

  • Issue with generated PDFs being chopped off and displaying a mysterious sequence of numbers of unknown and possibly alien origin (#127).

  • Unsightly border on Modern:PDF.

  • Modern|Positive:PDF formats now correctly reference their PDF-specific CSS files.

  • Incorrect helper use warning in Positive:DOC.

v1.7.2

Internal

v1.7.1

Changed

  • Caffeinate. CoffeeScript now used throughout HackMyResume and HackMyCore; generated JavaScript lives in /dist.

Fixed

  • Issue with generating a single PDF with the .pdf extension (#99).

v1.7.0

Changed

  • [Internal] Relocated HMR processing code to the HackMyCore project. Shouldn't affect normal use.

v1.6.0

Major Improvements

  • Better consistency and coverage for all FRESH resumes and themes (#45).

  • Initial support for overridable fonts in FRESH themes. Like a particular theme, but want to change the typography? The specific fonts used by a theme can now be overridden by the user. (FRESH themes only).

  • New resume sections! Support for projects and affiliation resume sections for technical and creative projects and memberships / clubs / associations, respectively (#92).

  • New command! PEEK at any arbitrary field or entry on your .json resume.

Added

  • Improved handling of start and end dates on employment, projects, education, and other sections with start/end dates.

  • Support for an .ignore property on any FRESH or JSON Resume section or field. Ignored properties will be treated by HackMyResume as if they weren't present.

  • Emit extended status and error info with the --debug or -d switch.

  • The -o or --options switch can now handle either the path to a JSON settings file or raw JSON/JavaScript. Since the JSON double quote syntax is a bit cumbersome from the command line, HackMyResume accepts regular JavaScript object literal syntax:

      hackmyresume build resume.json -o "{ theme: 'compact', silent: 'true' }"

  • Ability to disable sorting of resume sections (employments, projects, etc.) with the --no-sort option. HMR will respect the order of items as they appear in your resume .json file.

  • Improvements to the starter resume emitted by hackmyresume new.

  • Theme Authoring: Annotated the HTML and MS Word (XML) formats of the Modern theme for FRESH theme authors.

  • Theme Authoring: Support for templatized CSS files in FRESH themes. CSS files are now expanded via Handlebars or Underscore prior to copying to the destination.

  • Added CHANGELOG.md (this file).

Changed

  • Rewrote the HackMyResume man/help page.

  • Minor incremental updates to the FRESCA schema.

  • PDF generation now uses asynchronous spawn() which has better compatibility with old or boutique versions of Node.js.

  • Refactored colors in HackMyResume output. Errors will now display as red, warnings as yellow, successful operations as green, and informational messages as cyan.

  • Theme messages and usage tips will no longer display during resume generation by default. Use the --tips option to view them.

  • The --no-tips option (default: false) has been replaced with the --tips option, also defaulting to false.

  • Removed the hello-world theme from the prebuilt themes that ship with HackMyResume. It can be installed separately from NPM:

    npm install fresh-theme-hello-world
hackmyresume resume.json -t node_modules/fresh-theme-hello-world

  • sd

Fixed

  • PDF generation issues on older versions of Node.

  • Stack traces not being emitted correctly.

  • Missing speaking section will now appear on generated resumes (#101).

  • Incomplete education details will now appear on generated resumes (#65).

  • Missing employment end date being interpreted as "employment ends today" (#84).

  • Merging multiple source resumes during BUILD sometimes fails.

  • Document --pdf flag in README (#111).

Internal

  • Logging messages have been moved out of core HackMyResume code ahead of localization support.

  • All HackMyResume console output is described in msg.yml.

  • Relaxed pure JavaScript requirement. CoffeeScript will now start appearing in HackMyResume and FluentCV sources!

  • Additional tests.

v1.5.2

Fixed

  • Tweak stack trace under --debug.

v1.5.1

Added

  • Preliminary support for -d or --debug flag. Forces HackMyResume to emit a stack trace under error conditions.

v1.5.0

Added

  • HackMyResume now supports CLI-based generation of PDF formats across multiple engines (Phantom, wkhtmltopdf, etc). Instead of talking to these engines over a programmatic API, as in prior versions, HackMyResume 1.5+ speaks to them over the same command-line interface (CLI) you'd use if you were using these tools directly.

  • HackMyResume will now (attempt to) generate a PDF output for JSON Resume themes (in addition to HTML).

  • Minor README and FAQ additions.

Changed

  • Cleaner, quicker installs. Installing HackMyResume with npm install hackmyresume -g will no longer trigger a lengthy, potentially error-prone install for Phantom.js and/or wkhtmltopdf for PDF support. Instead, users can install these engines externally and HMR will use them when present.

  • Minor error handling improvements.

Fixed

  • Fixed an error with generating specific formats with the BUILD command (#97).

  • Fixed numerous latent/undocumented bugs and glitches.

v1.4.2

Added

  • Introduced FAQ.
  • Additional README notes.

v1.4.1

Added

Fixed

  • Fixed warning message when hackmyresume new is run without a filename.

v1.4.0

Added

  • "Projects" support: FRESH resumes and themes can now store and display open source, commercial, private, personal, and creative projects.
  • New command: ANALYZE. Inspect your resume for gaps, keyword counts, and other metrics. (Experimental.)
  • Side-by-side PDF generation with Phantom and wkhtmltopdf. Use the --pdf or -p flag to pick between phantom and wkhtmltopdf generation.
  • Disable PDF generation with the --pdf none switch.
  • Inherit formats between themes. Themes can now inherit formats (Word, HTML, .txt, etc.) from other themes. (FRESH themes only.)
  • Rename resume sections to different languages or wordings.
  • Specify complex options via external file. Use with the -o or --opts option.
  • Disable colors with the --no-color flag.
  • Theme messages and usage tips instructions will now appear in the default HackMyResume output for the build command. Run hackmyresume build resume.json -t awesome for an example. Turn off with the --no-tips flag.
  • Treat validation errors as warnings with the --assert switch (VALIDATE command only).

Fixed

  • Fixed a minor glitch in the FRESCA schema.
  • Fixed encoding issues in the Highlights section of certain resumes.
  • Fix behavior of -s and --silent flags.

Changed

  • PDF generation now defaults to Phantom for all platforms, with wkhtmltopdf accessible with --pdf wkhtmltopdf.
  • Resumes are now validated, by default, prior to generation. This behavior can be disabled with the --novalidate or --force switch.
  • Syntax errors in source FRESH and JSON Resumes are now captured for all commands.
  • Minor updates to README.
  • Most themes now inherit Markdown and Plain Text formats from the Basis theme.

Internal

  • Switched from color to chalk.
  • Command invocations now handled through commander.js.
  • Improved FRESH theme infrastructure (more partials, more DRY).

v1.3.1

Added

  • Add additional Travis badges.

Fixed

  • Fix extraneous console log output when generating a FRESH theme to MS Word.
  • Fix Travis tests on dev.

v1.3.0

Added

  • Local generation of JSON Resume themes. To use a JSON Resume theme, first install it with npm install jsonresume-theme-[blah] (most JSON Resume themes are on NPM). Then pass it into HackMyResume via the -t parameter:

    hackmyresume BUILD resume.json TO out/somefile.all -t node_modules/jsonresume-theme-classy

  • Better Markdown support. HackMyResume will start flowing basic Markdown styles to JSON Resume (HTML) themes. FRESH's existing Markdown support has also been improved.

  • .PNG output formats will start appearing in themes that declare an HTML output.

  • Tweak CSS embedding / linking via the --css option (<style></style> vs <link>). Only works for HTML (or HTML-driven) formats of FRESH themes. Use --css=link to link in CSS assets and --css=embed to embed the styles in the HTML document. For example hackmyresume BUILD resume.json TO out/resume.all --css=link.

  • Improved Handlebars/Underscore helper support for FRESH themes. Handlebars themes can access helpers via {{helperName}}. Underscore themes can access helpers via the h object.

Changed

  • Distinguish between validation errors and syntax errors when validating a FRESH or JRS resume with hackmyresume validate <blah>.
  • Emit line and column info for syntax errors during validation of FRESH and JRS resumes.
  • FRESH themes now embed CSS into HTML formats by default so that the HTML resume output doesn't have an external CSS file dependency by default. Users can specify normal linked stylesheets by setting --css=link.
  • Renamed fluent-themes repo to fresh-themes in keeping with the other parts of the project.

Fixed

  • Fix various encoding errors in MS Word outputs.
  • Fix assorted FRESH-to-JRS and JRS-to-FRESH conversion glitches.
  • Fix error when running HMR with no parameters.
  • Other minor fixes.

v1.3.0-beta

  • Numerous changes supporting v1.3.0.

v1.2.2

Fixed

  • Various in-passing fixes.

v1.2.1

Fixed

  • Fix require('FRESCA') error.
  • Fix .history and .map errors on loading incomplete or empty JRS resumes.

Added

  • Better test coverage of incomplete/empty resumes.

v1.2.0

Fixed

  • Fixed the new command: Generate a new FRESH-format resume with hackmyresume new resume.json or a new JSON Resume with hackmyresume new resume.json -f jrs.

Added

  • Introduced CLI tests.

v1.1.0

Fixed

  • MS Word formats: Fixed skill coloring/level bug.

Changed

  • Make the TO keyword optional. If no TO keyword is specified (for the build and convert commands), HMR will assume the last file passed in is the desired output file. So these are equivalent:

    hackmyresume BUILD resume.json TO out/resume.all
hackmyresume BUILD resume.json out/resume.all

    TO only needs to be included if you have multipled output files:

     hackmyresume BUILD resume.json TO out1.doc out2.html out3.tex

v1.0.1

Fixed

  • Correctly generate MS Word hyperlinks from Markdown source data.

v1.0.0

  • Initial public 1.0 release.
