This project follows semantic versioning. While still in major version 0
,
source-stability is only guaranteed within minor versions (e.g. between
0.0.3
and 0.0.4
). If you want to guard against potentially source-breaking
package updates, you can specify your package dependency using
.upToNextMinor(from: "0.0.1")
as the requirement.
No changes yet.
0.0.5 - 2020-04-15
- You can now specify a version string in a
ParsableCommand
's configuration. The generated tool will then automatically respond to a--version
flag. - Command definitions are now validated at runtime in debug mode, to check issues that can't be detected during compilation.
- Deprecation warnings during compilation on Linux have been removed.
- The
validate()
method is now called on each command in the matched command stack, instead of only the last command in the stack.
The 0.0.5 release includes contributions from kennyyork, natecook1000, sgl0v, and YuAo. Thank you!
0.0.4 - 2020-03-23
- Removed usage of 5.2-only syntax.
0.0.3 - 2020-03-22
- You can specify the
.unconditionalRemaining
parsing strategy for arrays of positional arguments to accept dash-prefixed input, likeexample --one two -three
. - You can now provide a default value for a positional argument.
- You can now customize the display of default values in the extended help for
an
ExpressibleByArgument
type. - You can call the static
exitCode(for:)
method on any command to retrieve the exit code for a given error.
- Supporting targets are now prefixed to prevent conflicts with other libraries.
- The extension providing
init?(argument:)
toRawRepresentable
types is now properly constrained. - The parser no longer treats passing the same exclusive flag more than once as an error.
ParsableArguments
types that are declared as@OptionGroup()
properties on commands can now also be declared on subcommands. Previosuly, the parent command's declaration would prevent subcommands from seeing the user-supplied arguments.- Default values are rendered correctly for properties with
Optional
types. - The output of help requests is now printed during the "exit" phase of execution, instead of during the "run" phase.
- Usage strings now correctly show that optional positional arguments aren't required.
- Extended help now omits extra line breaks when displaying arguments or commands with long names that don't provide help text.
The 0.0.3 release includes contributions from compnerd, elliottwilliams, glessard, griffin-stewie, iainsmith, Lantua, miguelangel-dev, natecook1000, sjavora, and YuAo. Thank you!
0.0.2 - 2020-03-06
- The
EX_USAGE
exit code is now used for validation errors. - The parser provides near-miss suggestions when a user provides an unknown option.
ArgumentParser
now builds on Windows.- You can throw an
ExitCode
error to exit without printing any output. - You can now create optional Boolean flags with inversions that default to
nil
:@Flag(inversion: .prefixedNo) var takeMyShot: Bool?
- You can now specify exclusivity for case-iterable flags and for Boolean flags with inversions.
- Cleaned up a wide variety of documentation typos and shortcomings.
- Improved different kinds of error messages:
- Duplicate exclusive flags now show the duplicated arguments.
- Subcommand validation errors print the correct usage string.
- In the help screen:
- Removed the extra space before the default value for arguments without descriptions.
- Removed the default value note when the default value is an empty string.
- Default values are now shown for Boolean options.
- Case-iterable flags are now grouped correctly.
- Case-iterable flags with default values now show the default value.
- Arguments from parent commands that are included via
@OptionGroup
in subcommands are no longer duplicated.
- Case-iterable flags created with the
.chooseFirst
exclusivity parameter now correctly ignore additional flags.
The 0.0.2 release includes contributions from AliSoftware, buttaface, compnerd, dduan, glessard, griffin-stewie, IngmarStein, jonathanpenn, klaaspieter, natecook1000, Sajjon, sjavora, Wildchild9, and zntfdr. Thank you!
