2.1.0.pre.1 (August 28, 2019)

One of the biggest changes in bundler 2.1.0 is that deprecations for upcoming breaking changes in bundler 3 will be turned on by default. We do this to grab feedback and communicate early to our users the kind of changes we're intending to ship with bundler 3. See #6965.

Another important improvement is a better coexistence between bundler installations and the default copy of bundler that comes with ruby installed as a default gem. Since bundler is shipped as a default gem with ruby, a number of users have been affected by issues where bundler ends up failing due to version mismatches, because at some point of the execution, bundler switches to run the default copy instead of the expected version. A number of PRs have been focused on minimizing (hopefully eliminating) this, such as #7100, #7137, #6996, #7056, #7062, #7193, #7216, #7274

Deprecations:

• See the the upgrading document for a detailed explanation of the deprecations that are getting enabled in bundler 2.1, and the future breaking changes in bundler 3.

• Add feature parity to bundle info GEM with respect to the old deprecated command bundle show GEM #7026
• Introduce bundle list to list groups of gems in your Gemfile. This command was actually documented, but was working as an alias to bundle show so this could also be considered a bug fix :) #7072
