Automation allows us to focus on the important tasks and forget about the tedious and repetitive ones, like releasing and publishing packages or images. You should really give it a try. Lukasz shows you how to get started in [this blog post](https://www.asyncapi.com/blog/automated-releases/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=text&utm_campaign=newsletter-26-03-2020). [Read on!](https://www.asyncapi.com/blog/automated-releases/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=button&utm_campaign=newsletter-26-03-2020 "Read on!") ![](https://mcusercontent.com/3cdae6aed726d2e7490aec739/images/c3b28dce-bce5-4910-beb9-313aa6835152.png) ## **Project Status Update** ### Releases automation Releases of all our tools, like generator, parser, and all others, are now fully automated. We did the automation with the support of: - [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) - [Conventional Commits](http://conventionalcommits.org/) - [Semantic Release package]() For more details read [this post](https://www.asyncapi.com/blog/automated-releases/). ### AsyncAPI npm organization and scopes We started using [npm scopes](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-scopes) for all packages. **Now there is an AsyncAPI organization on npm** and all our packages are prefixed with “@asyncapi/”. As a result of this setup, we had to deprecate some packages and publish them under a new name: - Deprecated [https://www.npmjs.com/package/asyncapi](https://www.npmjs.com/package/asyncapi) in favor of [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/specs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/specs) - Deprecated [https://www.npmjs.com/package/asyncapi-parser](https://www.npmjs.com/package/asyncapi-parser) in favor of [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/parser](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/parser) - Deprecated [https://www.npmjs.com/package/asyncapi-generator](https://www.npmjs.com/package/asyncapi-generator) in favor of [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/generator](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@asyncapi/generator). You might need to force installation for the first time to switch from old package name to the new one, like “npm install -g @asyncapi/generator --force” **Don’t worry though, we did not introduce changes other than the name, so you just need to use a new name with a new version and all works as before.** ### Static Code Analysis In order to increase the quality of our tools we started testing Sonar Cloud. We'll give it a try in the [generator](https://github.com/asyncapi/generator/) for the next 3 minor releases. **It is already integrated with our pull requests** and you can see a summary dashboard [here](https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=asyncapi_generator). If it proofs to help and be reliable, we will make Sonar Cloud validation part of our release flow and enable it for the rest of the libraries. ### Releases We introduced plugins in the [JavaScript Parser](https://github.com/asyncapi/parser-js) for schemas parsers. This means that custom schema parsers, like OpenAPI schema or RAML data types, are now developed in separate independent packages: - [https://github.com/asyncapi/raml-dt-schema-parse](https://github.com/asyncapi/raml-dt-schema-parser)[r](https://github.com/asyncapi/raml-dt-schema-parser) - [https://github.com/asyncapi/openapi-schema-parser](https://github.com/asyncapi/openapi-schema-parser) You can create your own schema parsers and plug into the AsyncAPI parser. We changed Node.js requirements in the [Generator](https://github.com/asyncapi/generator). **With the support from our community**, [Jorge Arco](https://github.com/jorge07) and [Michael Davis](https://twitter.com/damaru_inc/), we updated support for Node.js 12.16+ not only for the Generator but also for the Node.js templates. ![](https://mcusercontent.com/3cdae6aed726d2e7490aec739/images/38569ecf-d762-4e43-93a2-af41c149c080.png) ## **AsyncAPI Special Interest Group (SIG) open meeting** ### Last Meeting The last SIG meeting took place on the **17th of March.** We covered**two important topics** during the meeting: - We explained in detail the release automation that we introduced in our tooling. It was mainly about the release workflow and motivation behind it. If you read [our post](https://www.asyncapi.com/blog/automated-releases/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=text&utm_campaign=newsletter-26-03-2020) about automation, you can skip the recording. - We had a preview presentation of our [roadmap for 2020](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TX9iN_7KFUYIiZjsB2GIwmdfz8SYkzbgXK3-nigcYsI/).
