Boilerplates 0.2.0 is here, and this update changes quite a lot about how my templates work! In this video, I show you what changed in Boilerplates 0.2.0, why the app and template library are now split into separate repositories, how the new `template.json` format works, why the custom template delimiters are useful, and how the improved variable system makes generated Docker Compose stacks easier to customize. We also look at one of the most useful new features: remote generation over SSH, so you can generate template files directly on a server instead of creating them locally and copying everything over manually. And finally, I quickly explain the new Swarm module and what it means for future Boilerplates features.

Boilerplates 0.2.0 is a major update to a Python CLI tool for generating customizable Docker Compose stacks and infrastructure templates. Key changes include: splitting the CLI application from the template library into separate repositories, switching template metadata format from YAML to JSON for better ordering and Python performance, changing Jinja2 template delimiters from curly brackets to angle brackets to avoid conflicts with Ansible and other tools, adding a new 'secret' variable type with auto-generation support, adding remote upload capability for generated templates, and separating Docker Swarm templates from standard Docker Compose templates. A future 0.3.0 release with a new web interface and custom templating engine is teased for the next 2-3 months.
