kotlin-argparser v2.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-04-21 // almost 7 years ago
  • โž• Added

    ๐Ÿ“œ ArgParser.option is now a public method, so it's possible to create many
    ๐Ÿ†• new option types that were not previously possible. The existing option types
    are all written in terms of option, so they can be used to get an idea of
    how it works.

    โœ… More tests have been added.

    Started using keepachangelog.com format for CHANGELOG.md

    ๐Ÿš€ Made minor improvements to release process

    ๐Ÿ”„ Changed

    ๐Ÿ“œ The storing, adding and positionalList methods of ArgParser have had
    their parameters slightly reordered to be consistent with the other methods.
    This is an incompatible change. The name(s) come first, if any, followed by
    help. Other parameters appear after help, with the transform function,
    if any, last. It is recommended that clients either pass the transform as a
    block (ie: with braces) or as a named parameter, as any future new parameters
    will necessarily change its position in the list.

    Delegate and DelegateProvider are now abstract classes with internal
    constructors. This makes it much easier for me to separate internal and
    public parts of their API. This is an incompatible change, however it
    shouldn't really affect you unless you were trying to implement Delegate,
    ๐Ÿ‘ which was't supported to begin with.

    0๏ธโƒฃ default methods on both Delegate and DelegateProvider are now extension
    methods. This makes it possible to generalize the type when adding a
    0๏ธโƒฃ default. This is most noticable when using a nullable value (or null
    0๏ธโƒฃ itself) for the default, though may also be useful in other cases (eg: a
    0๏ธโƒฃ "storing" that always produces a Rectangle, but you want the default to be
    a Circle. The resulting delegate will be a Delegate<Shape>.)

    Registration of delegates now takes place at binding-time rather than
    construction time. This should be pretty indistinguishable from the old
    behavior unless you're creating delegates without binding them.

    Help formatting has been improved so that it's far less likely to wrap option
    names in the usage table.

    ๐Ÿ›  There have been numerous bugfixes, particularly around positionals
