# GoReleaser 2.0

This overview applies to target GoReleaser versions of at least `2.0`.

- Version 2 removes options deprecated during the v1 series; migration starts with a clean `goreleaser check` on the latest v1, followed by another check using v2.
- Version 2 configurations carry the top-level `version: 2` schema header. This header selects the configuration schema, not the binary version.
- The supported clean snapshot workflow is `goreleaser release --snapshot --clean`; legacy `--rm-dist`, individual `--skip-*`, and `--debug` usages need migration to their v2 replacements reported by the v1 deprecation warnings.
- GitHub Actions workflows can select the v2 line with `goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v6` and `version: "~> v2"`.
- Existing capabilities retained from late v1 include SBOM creation, keyless Cosign signing, AUR, Chocolatey, Ko, NUR, Winget, DMG and MSI packaging, and macOS signing and notarisation.
- Pro-only capabilities include templated files, cross-SCM package publishing, changelog sub-grouping, and split-and-merge release workflows.
