# Changes in shFlags
|
||
|
|
||
|
## 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixed `flags_reset()` so it unsets the default value environment vars.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## 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.
