Type
----
Must be one of the following:
- `feat`: A new feature.
- `fix`: A bug fix.
- `minifix`: A minimal fix that doesn't warrant an entry in the CHANGELOG.
- `docs`: Documentation only changes.
- `style`: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space,
formatting, missing semi-colons, JSDoc annotations, comments, etc).
- `refactor`: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature.
- `perf`: A code change that improves performance.
- `test`: Adding missing tests.
- `chore`: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries.
- `upgrade`: A version upgrade of a project dependency.
Scope
-----
The scope is required for types that make sense, such as `feat`, `fix`,
`test`, etc. Certain commit types, such as `chore` might not have a clearly
defined scope, in which case its better to omit it.
Subject
-------
The subject should contain a short description of the change:
- Use the imperative, present tense.
- Don't capitalize the first letter.
- No dot (.) at the end.
Footer
------
The footer contains extra information about the commit, such as tags.
**Breaking Changes** should start with the word BREAKING CHANGE: with a space
or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
Tags Tags

### `Change-Type: <type>`
This tag is used to determine the change type that a commit introduces. The
following types are supported:
- `major`
- `minor`
- `patch`
This tag can be omitted for commits that don't change the application from the
user's point of view, such as for refactoring commits.
Examples:
```
Change-Type: major
Change-Type: minor
Change-Type: patch
```
See the [Semantic Versioning][semver] specification for a more detailed
explanation of the meaning of these types.
### `Changelog-Entry: <message>`
This tag is used to describe the changes introduced by the commit in a more
human style that would fit the `CHANGELOG.md` better.
If the commit type is either `fix` or `feat`, the commit will take part in the
CHANGELOG. If this tag is not defined, then the commit subject will be used
instead.
You explicitly can use this tag to make a commit whose type is not `fix` nor
`feat` appear in the `CHANGELOG.md`.
Since whatever your write here will be shown *as it is* in the `CHANGELOG.md`,
take some time to write a decent entry. Consider the following guidelines:
- Use the imperative, present tense.
- Capitalize the first letter.
There is no fixed length limit for the contents of this tag, but always strive
to make as short as possible without compromising its quality.
Examples:
```
Changelog-Entry: Fix EPERM errors when flashing to a GPT drive.
```

fix(GUI): ignore extensions before the first non-compressed extension
Currently, we extract all the extensions from an image path and report back
that the image is invalid if *any* of the extensions is not valid , however
this can cause trouble with images including information between dots that are
not strictly extensions, for example:
elementaryos-0.3.2-stable-i386.20151209.iso
Etcher will consider `20151209` to be an invalid extension and therefore
will prevent such image from being selected at all.
As a way to allow these corner cases but still make use of our enforced check
controls, the validation routine now only consider extensions starting from the
first non compressed extension.
Change-Type: patch
Changelog-Entry: Don't interpret image file name information between dots as image extensions.

upgrade: etcher-image-write to v5.0.2
This version contains a fix to an `EPERM` issue happening to some Windows user,
triggered by the `write` system call during the first ~5% of a flash given that
the operating system still thinks the drive has a file system.
Change-Type: patch
Changelog-Entry: Upgrade `etcher-image-write` to v5.0.2.
Link: https://github.com/balena-io-modules/etcher-image-write/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#502---2016-06-27
Fixes: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/531

feat(GUI): implement update notifier functionality
Auto-update functionality is not ready for usage. As a workaround to
prevent users staying with older versions, we now check for updates at
startup, and if the user is not running the latest version, we present a
modal informing the user of the availiblity of a new version, and
provide a call to action to open the Etcher website in his web browser.
Extra features:
- The user can skip the update, and tell the program to delay the
notification for 7 days.
Misc changes:
- Center modal with flexbox, to allow more flexibility on the modal height.
interacting with the S3 server.
- Implement `ManifestBindService`, which now serves as a backend for the
`manifest-bind` directive to allow the directive's functionality to be
re-used by other services.
- Namespace checkbox styles that are specific to the settings page.
Change-Type: minor
Changelog-Entry: Check for updates and show a modal prompting the user to download the latest version.
