Be encouraged to add missing\nresources and create a Pull Request or to create an [Issue](https://github.com/ekristen/aws-nuke/issues/new).\n\n## What's New in Version 3\n\nVersion 3 is a rewrite of this tool using [libnuke](https://github.com/ekristen/libnuke) with a focus on improving a number of the outstanding things\nthat I couldn't get done with the original project without separating out the core code into a library. See Goals\nbelow for more.\n\nThis is not a comprehensive list, but here are some of the highlights:\n\n* New Feature: Signed Darwin Binaries for macOS\n* New Feature: Published Homebrew Tap (ekristen/tap/aws-nuke@3)\n* New Feature: Global Filters\n* New Feature: Run Against All Enabled Regions\n* New Feature: Explain Account and Explain Config Commands\n* Upcoming Feature: Filter Groups (**in progress**)\n* Breaking Change: `root` command no longer triggers the run, must use subcommand `run` (alias: `nuke`)\n* Breaking Change: CloudFormation Stacks now support a hold and wait for parent deletion process\n* Breaking Change: Nested CloudFormation Stacks are now eligible for deletion and no longer omitted\n* Completely rewrote the core of the tool as a dedicated library [libnuke](https://github.com/ekristen/libnuke)\n  * This library has over 95% test coverage which makes iteration and new features easier to implement.\n* Semantic Releases with notifications on issues / pull requests\n* Context is passed throughout the entire library now, including the listing function and the removal function\n  * This is in preparation for supporting AWS SDK Go v2\n* New Resources\n* Broke away from rebuy-de/aws-nuke project as a fork for reasons outlined in the history section\n\n### Goals\n\n- [x] Easier maintainability and bug fixing, see go report and code climate badges above\n- [x] Adding additional tests around the core library\n- [ ] Adding more tests around specific resource types\n- [x] Adding additional resources and tooling to make adding resources easier\n- [x] Adding documentation for adding resources and using the tool\n- [ ] Consider adding DAG for dependencies between resource types and individual resources\n- [ ] Support for AWS SDK Go v2\n\n## Documentation\n\nAll documentation is in the [docs/](docs) directory and is built using [Material for Mkdocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/). \n\nIt is hosted at [https://ekristen.github.io/aws-nuke/](https://ekristen.github.io/aws-nuke/).\n\n## History of this Fork\n\n**Important:** this is a full fork of the original tool written by the folks over at [rebuy-de](https://github.com/rebuy-de).\nThis fork became necessary after attempting to make contributions and respond to issues to learn that the current\nmaintainers only have time to work on the project about once a month and while receptive to bringing in other \npeople to help maintain, made it clear it would take time. Considering the feedback cycle was already weeks on \ninitial communications, I had to make the hard decision to fork and maintain it.\n\n### libnuke\n\nI also needed a version of this tool for Azure and GCP, and initially I just copied and altered the code I needed for\nAzure, but I didn't want to have to maintain multiple copies of the same code, so I decided to create \n[libnuke](https://github.com/ekristen/libnuke) to abstract all the code that was common between the two tools and write\nproper unit tests for it. \n\n## Attribution, License, and Copyright\n\nThe rewrite of this tool to use [libnuke](https://github.com/ekristen/libnuke) would not have been possible without the\nhard work that came before me on the original tool by the team and contributors over at [rebuy-de](https://github.com/rebuy-de)\nand their original work on [rebuy-de/aws-nuke](https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke).\n\nThis tool is licensed under the MIT license. See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for more information. The bulk of this\ntool was rewritten to use [libnuke](https://github.com/ekristen/libnuke) which was in part originally sourced from\n[rebuy-de/aws-nuke](https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke).\n\n## Contribute\n\nYou can contribute to *aws-nuke* by forking this repository, making your changes and creating a Pull Request against\nthis repository.
