Added

• Full Python 3 support, which makes Recipe Robot compatible with (and require) AutoPkg 2. Big thanks to @sheagcraig for fixing a particularly sticky bug involving string encoding. (#156, #160, #163)
• As part of Python 3 transition, rewrote significant portions of Recipe Robot to use curl instead of Python's urllib. This adds flexibility and mimics AutoPkg's behavior, but may result in changes in behavior from Recipe Robot 1.x.
• New disk image build tool and layout.
• The recipe-robot script now supports the creation of "jss-upload" type recipes, which imports a package into Jamf Pro but does not create any policies or groups. (#153)
• Now able to build recipes for macOS screen saver (.saver) bundles.
• Recipe Robot now does more thorough pre-checking of URLs: attempts to use HTTPS instead of HTTP when possible, and tries to add a widely used user-agent if a 403 error is encountered.
• Added CodeQL scanning to GitHub repo.
• Added Sparkle shortVersionString to verbose output. (#173)
• Added code signature team identifier verbose output. (#174)

Changed

• Recipe Robot no longer assigns AutoPkg input variables for DOWNLOAD_URL, SPARKLE_FEED_URL, GITHUB_REPO, and BUNDLE_ID. Instead, it hard-codes these values into the appropriate processor arguments. @jazzace nicely summarizes the benefit of this change here.
• Added detail to the --configure option that clarifies that following the official "jss-recipes" style format is unnecessary unless you're contributing to jss-recipes.
• Recipe Robot script --configure option now treats pressing Return the same as pressing "S" to save the list of preferred recipe types, to align with the behavior of other configuration options.
• Various minor adjustments to continue preparing for Python 3 compatibility.
• Cleaned up Swift codebase using swiftlint.
• More robust Sparkle feed processing. (#150, #173)

Fixed

• Resolved an issue that resulted in preferences unrelated to Recipe Robot being saved into the Recipe Robot preference file.
• Updated regular expression used to grab app descriptions from MacUpdate.
• Fixed an issue that would cause certain GitHub URLs to be parsed incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug that occurred when checking for existing recipes using AutoPkg 2. (#171)
• Resolved a first-run issue with reading empty preference values.
• Fixed an issue that could cause a disk to fill up with recursive links. (#158)
• Caught an error that resulted from neglecting to cast certain lists before writing to recipe plist.
• Better handle download file inputs that are lacking kMDItemWhereFroms extended attributes.
• Worked around an issue preventing real-time script output from being displayed in the app by shelling out to echo while running in app mode. (#169, #170)

Removed

• Removed internal support for piped subprocess commands, previously deprecated in v1.2.0.
• Temporarily removed 403 error detection (usually due to rate-limiting) for BitBucket, GitHub, and SourceForge API calls.
• Removed all calls to FoundationPlist in support of Python 3 transition. (Left FoundationPlist itself included in source, but will remove in a future release.)

Known Issues

• On macOS 10.14 (and possibly earlier) an incorrect "certificate has expired" warning may appear in the output. (#165)
• The "jss-upload" type is not addressable yet in the Recipe Robot app, only in the script.
• Because Recipe Robot is now using plistlib instead of FoundationPlist, it's likely that some non-standard developer plist files may not successfully parse. This is because plistlib is stricter than FoundationPlist, and the same issue applies to AutoPkg itself (see autopkg#618 for an example).
