v3.4.1

Switched publishers

v3.4.0

3.4.0 is a pretty big release containing mostly bug fixes but a heap of little features and improvements to make it easier to get started and use GitVersion.

Highlights are:

• When GitVersion runs on buildservers which do not allow fetch, it gets the branchname from environmental variables to prevent a fetch by default. This should make it much easier to just grab GitVersion and get started. It also reduces the need for dynamic repositories.
• You can now use {BranchName} in your tag config. So for feature branches you could do alpha.{BranchName}
• Can rebuild tags now without errors on the build server
• Heaps of small commit counting/branch normalisation fixes
• GitVersion now caches results, this speeds up a number of scenarios
• Lots of small docs improvements to make things clearer
