Argh changelog

Changelog History

• v0.26.3-dev Changes

  Backward incompatible changes:

  • ⬇️ Dropped support for Python 2.6.

  ✨ Enhancements:

  • ➕ Added support for Python 3.5.
  • 👌 Support introspection of function signature behind the @wraps decorator (issue #111).

  🛠 Fixed bugs:

  • When command function signature contained **kwargs and positionals without defaults and with underscores in their names, a weird behaviour could be observed (issue #104).

  Other changes:

  • Include the license files in manifest (PR #112).

• v0.26.2 Changes

  May 11, 2016

  🚀 This is a maintenance release. Just a few changes:

  • ✂ Removed official support for Python 3.4, added for 3.5.
  • Various tox-related improvements for development.
  • 👌 Improved documentation.

• v0.26.1 Changes

  🛠 Fixed bugs:

  • ✅ The undocumented (and untested) argument dispatch(..., pre_call=x) was broken; fixing because at least one important app depends on it (issue #63).

• v0.26 Changes

  🚀 This release is intended to be the last one before 1.0. Therefore a major cleanup was done. This breaks backward compatibility. If your code is really outdated, please read this list carefully and grep your code.

  • ✂ Removed decorator @alias (deprecated since v.0.19).

  • ✂ Removed decorator @plain_signature (deprecated since v.0.20).

  • 💅 Dropped support for old-style functions that implicitly expected namespace objects (deprecated since v.0.21). The @expects_obj decorator is now mandatory for such functions.

  • ✂ Removed decorator @command (deprecated since v.0.21).

  • The @wrap_errors decorator now strictly requires that the error classes are given as a list (old behaviour was deprecated since v.0.22).

  • 🚚 The allow_warnings argument is removed from argh.completion.autocomplete(). Debug-level logging is used instead. (The warnings were deprecated since v.0.25).

  Some more stuff has been scheduled to be purged before 1.0:

  • 🗄 Deprecated arguments title, help and description in add_commands() helper function. See documentation and issue #60.

  Other changes:

  • 👌 Improved representation of default values in the help.

  • 🔧 Dispatcher can be configured to skip unknown arguments (issue #57).

  • ➕ Added add_subcommands() helper function (a convenience wrapper for add_commands()).

  • 📜 EntryPoint now stores kwargs for the parser.

  • Added support for default command with nested commands (issue #78).

  This only works with Python 3.4+ due to incorrect behaviour or earlier versions of Argparse (including the stand-alone one as of 1.2.1).

  Due to argparse peculiarities the function assignment technique relies on a special ArghNamespace object. It is used by default in ArghParser and the shortcuts, but if you call the vanilla ArgumentParser.parse_args() method, you now have to supply the proper namespace object.

  🛠 Fixed bugs:

  • 0️⃣ Help formatter was broken for arguments with empty strings as default values (issue #76).

• v0.25 Changes

  • ➕ Added EntryPoint class as another way to assemble functions (issue #59).

  • ➕ Added support for Python 3.4; dropped support for Python 3.3 (this doesn't mean that Argh is necessarily broken under 3.3, it's just that I'm not testing against it anymore).

  • 🗄 Shell completion warnings are now deprecated in favour of logging.

  • 0️⃣ The command help now displays default values of all arguments (issue #64).

  • 📄 Function docstrings are now displayed verbatim in the help (issue #64).

  • Argh's dispatching now should work properly in Cython.
