v0.8.0

Environmental friendliness

Ever want to alter the environment in your .tape files? Now you can with the ENV directive:

Env HELLO "WORLD"

Type "echo $HELLO"
Enter
Sleep 1s

Bonus: change the prompt

Also thanks to @Delta456, you can now change the prompt by setting PROMPT in the environment:

Env PROMPT "〉"

For details see: #469.

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/releases/download/v0.8.0/checksums.txt'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --cert 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/releases/download/v0.8.0/checksums.txt.pem' \
  --signature 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/releases/download/v0.8.0/checksums.txt.sig' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
