This release introduces major changes to the way Mixer is called and run. Previously, mixer gained support for automatically building format bumps, but was disabled by default (with --native=true always turned on). The flag forces mixer to run natively on the system, and not perform format bump builds automatically. With this release, the default becomes --native=false, meaning all mixer 'build' commands will run in a docker container. Running in a container ensures the proper version of the tooling is run for specific build versions, because one version of tooling cannot build for 2 different formats. Mixer will automatically pull the appoproriate container that can create builds for a given format, so the format bump process can truly be automated and correct. It will still use a container for regular, non-format bump builds for consistency. Note that aside from the initial docker pull, creating a mix will not be any slower than running natively, and allows users to build versions that require tooling outside of their host system version. Another significant change involves the configuration for Mixer. The builder.conf is now updated to be a stable, relatively unchanging config to describe your workspace. The stateful items (versions, format, etc) are moved into a mixer.state file which holds ephemeral values that are changed build-to-build. This keeps all stateless and stateful items centralized and follows a single format (TOML). The new format is used by default, but can be overridden by setting --new-config=false during the init phase. Both configs are versioned so mixer can easily detect format changes and config errors.
