| Changes in shFlags 1.0.x |
| ======================== |
| |
| Changes with 1.0.3 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| MAJOR CHANGE! ``FLAGS_ARGC`` is now obsolete, and is replaced by |
| ``FLAGS_ARGV``. See below for more info. |
| |
| Fixed issue# 7 where long flags defined with '=' (e.g. --abc=123) made it |
| impossible for the user to know how many non-flag command-line arguments were |
| available because the value returned by ``FLAGS_ARGC`` was wrong. The |
| ``FLAGS_ARGC`` value is now obsolete, but will be maintained for backwards |
| compatibility. The new method of getting the non-flag arguments is by executing |
| ``eval set -- "${FLAGS_ARGV}"`` after the **FLAGS** call. The arguments will |
| then be available using the standard shell $#, $@, $*, $1, etc. variables. |
| |
| Due to above fix for issue# 7, there is now proper support for mixing flags |
| with non-flag arguments on the command-line. Previously, all non-flag arguments |
| had to be at the end of the command-line. |
| |
| Renamed ``_flags_standardGetopt()`` and ``_flags_enhancedGetopt()`` functions to |
| ``_flags_getoptStandard()`` and ``_flags_getoptEnhanced()``. |
| |
| Took out the setting and restoration of the '-u' shell flag to treat unset |
| variables as an error. No point in having it in this library as it is verified |
| in the unit tests, and provides basically no benefit. |
| |
| Fixed bug under Solaris where the generated help was adding extra 'x' |
| characters. |
| |
| Added checks for reserved flag variables (e.g. FLAGS_TRUE). |
| |
| Fixed some unset variable bugs. |
| |
| Now report the actual getopt error if there is one. |
| |
| All tests now properly enable skipping based on whether a standard or enhanced |
| getopt is found. |
| |
| Added the OS version to OS release for Solaris. |
| |
| |
| Changes with 1.0.2 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| FLAGS_PARENT no longer transforms into a constant so that it can be defined at |
| run time in scripts. |
| |
| Added warning about short flags being unsupported when there are problems |
| parsing the options with **getopt**. |
| |
| Add default values to end of description strings. |
| |
| Fixed bug that returned an error instead of success when recalling the default |
| values for empty strings. |
| |
| Added warning when a duplicate flag definition is attempted. |
| |
| Improved ``assert[Warn|Error]Msg()`` test helper grepping. |
| |
| Replaced shell_versions.sh with a new versions library and created |
| **gen_test_results.sh** to make releases easier. |
| |
| Copied the coding standards from shUnit2, but haven't fully implemented them |
| in shFlags yet. |
| |
| Issue# 1: When a user defines their own --help flag, no more warning is thrown |
| when FLAGS() is called stating that the help flag already defined. |
| |
| Issue# 2: Passing the --nohelp option no longer gives help output. |
| |
| Issue# 3: Added support for screen width detection. |
| |
| |
| Changes with 1.0.1 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Fixed bug where the help output added [no] to all flag names |
| |
| Added additional example files that are referenced by the documentation. |
| |
| Improved zsh version and option checking. |
| |
| Upgraded shUnit2 to 2.1.4 |
| |
| Added unit testing for the help output. |
| |
| When including a library (e.g. shflags) in a script, zsh 3.0.8 doesn't actually |
| execute the code in-line, but later. As such, variables that are defined in the |
| library cannot be used until functions are called from the main code. This |
| required the 'help' flag definition to be moved inside the FLAGS command. |
| |
| |
| Changes with 1.0.0 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| This is the first official release, so everything is new. |
