clikt v2.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-02-22 // about 4 years ago

  • 2020-02-22

    ➕ Added

    • 🍎 Clikt is now available as a Kotlin Multiplatform Project, supporting JVM, NodeJS, and native Windows, Linux, and macOS.
    • eagerOption {} function to more easily register eager options.
    • Eager options can now be added to option groups in help out by passing a value for groupName when creating them.
    • canBeSymlink parameter to file() and path() conversions that can be used to disallow symlinks
    • CliktCommand.eagerOption to simplify creating custom eager options

    🔄 Changed

    • 🚚 The parameter names of file() and path() conversions have changed. The existing names are deprecated, and can be converted to the new usages with an IntelliJ inspection. Note that if you are calling these functions with unnamed arguments (e.g. file(true, false)), you'll need to add argument names in order to remove the deprecation warning.

    🗄 Deprecated

    • 🗄 The CliktCommand.context property has been deprecated in favor of the new name, currentContext, to avoid confusion with the CliktCommand.context{} method.
    • 🗄 NoRunCliktCommand was renamed to NoOpCliktCommand. The existing class is deprecated. (#130)

    🛠 Fixed

    • file() and path() conversions will now properly expand leading ~ in paths to the home directory for mustExist, canBeFile, and canBeDir checks. The property value is unchanged, and can still begin with a ~. (#131)
