Important: X breaking changes below, indicated by ❗ BREAKING ❗

❗ BREAKING ❗

• rover-fed2 has been deprecated - @EverlastingBugstopper, feat: adds rover install --plugin supergraph-{0,2} #1058

  rover fed2 supergraph compose has been deprecated. You should instead set federation_version: 2 in your supergraph.yaml to use Federation 2 with the rover supergraph compose command.

🚀 Features

• rover supergraph compose optionally updates automatically - @EverlastingBugstopper, feat: adds rover install --plugin supergraph-{0,2} #1058 fixes Is it possible to support multiple subgraph schema files for one subgraph service? #2046

  When running rover supergraph compose, Rover will automatically download the correct version of composition to use. When you first install Rover, it will automatically download the latest composition function for Federation 1 and Federation 2. In your supergraph.yaml files, you can specify federation_version: 1 or federation_version: 2 to always get the latest updates. You can pass the --skip-update flag to skip checking for an update. You can also specify an exact version if you'd like to pin your composition function, like so: federation_version: =2.0.0-preview.9.

  Additionally, you can run rover install --plugin supergraph@latest-2 or rover install --plugin [email protected] to install a plugin ahead of time, which may be helpful in CI.

• Adds --insecure-unmask-key to rover config whoami - @EverlastingBugstopper, feat: adds --insecure-unmask-key to config whoami #1043 fixes Rover outputs entire API Key unmasked with the whoami command #1023

  Previously, running rover config whoami would output your entire API key to the terminal. This is not the documented behavior, and it is insecure because someone could be sharing their screen while trying to debug and accidentally leak their API key.

  Now, rover config whoami will mask your API key when it prints to the terminal. You can override this behavior by passing the --insecure-unmask-key flag.

• Retry on timeouts and connection errors - @ptondereau, feat(client): Add timeout and connect error to backoff transient error #1014 fixes Enhance exponential backoff retries for HTTP requests to work for connectivity issues #790

  Rover will now automatically retry HTTP requests that fail due to timeouts or initial connection errors.

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed a dead link in ARCHITECTURE.md - @ptondereau, fix(ci): Fix lint in CI (deadlink) #1053

🛠 Maintenance

• Simplify rover subgraph fetch query - @EverlastingBugstopper, chore: simplify rover subgraph fetch query #1056 fixes supergraph compose should call SubgraphFetchQuery only one time, not once for every subgraph #992

  rover subgraph fetch now uses a much more efficient query that only requests a single subgraph at a time rather than all of them. Yay GraphQL!

📚 Documentation

• Set up new docs infrastructure - @trevorblades, Add netlify config for deploy previews #1051, Start a docs production deploy when docs changes get merged #1052

  @trevorblades has done an awesome job setting up new docs for Apollo, including Rover! Check out the shiny new repo.
