0.7.5

Release date: 2017-07-08

• Bug Fixes
  • case_insensitive is no longer a runtime-settable parameter, but it was still listed as such
  • Fixed a recursive loop bug when abbreviated commands are enabled and it could get stuck in the editor forever
    • Added additional command abbreviations to the "exclude from history" list
  • Fixed argparse_example.py and pirate.py examples and transcript_regex.txt transcript
  • Fixed a bug in a unit test which occurred under unusual circumstances
• Enhancements
  • Organized all attributes used to configure the ParserManager into a single location
  • Set the default value of abbrev to False (which controls whether or not abbreviated commands are allowed)
    • With good tab-completion of command names, using abbreviated commands isn't particularly useful
    • And it can create complications if you are't careful
  • Improved implementation of load to use command queue instead of nested inner loop

0.7.4

Release date: 2017-07-03

• Bug fixes
  • Fixed a couple bugs in interacting with pastebuffer/clipboard on macOS and Linux
  • Fixed a couple bugs in edit and save commands if called when history is empty
  • Ability to pipe cmd2 command output to a shell command is now more reliable, particularly on Windows
  • Fixed a bug in pyscript command on Windows related to \ being interpreted as an escape
• Enhancements
  • Ensure that path and shell command tab-completion results are alphabetically sorted
  • Removed feature for load command to load scripts from URLS
    • It didn't work, there were no unit tests, and it felt out of place
  • Removed presence of a default file name and default file extension
    • These also strongly felt out of place
    • load and _relative_load now require a file path
    • edit and save now use a temporary file if a file path isn't provided
  • load command has better error checking and reporting
  • Clipboard copy and paste functionality is now handled by the pyperclip module
  • shell command now supports redirection and piping of output
  • Added a lot of unit tests
• Other changes
  • Removed pause command
  • Added a dependency on the pyperclip module

0.7.3

• Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug in displaying a span of history items when only an end index is supplied
  • Fixed a bug which caused transcript test failures to display twice
• Enhancements
  • Added the ability to exclude commands from the help menu (eof included by default)
  • Redundant list command removed and features merged into history command
  • Added pyscript command which supports tab-completion and running Python scripts with arguments
  • Improved tab-completion of file system paths, command names, and shell commands
    • Thanks to Kevin Van Brunt for all of the help with debugging and testing this
  • Changed default value of USE_ARG_LIST to True - this affects the beavhior of all @options commands
    • WARNING: This breaks backwards compatibility, to restore backwards compatibility, add this to the
      init() method in your custom class derived from cmd2.Cmd:
      • cmd2.set_use_arg_list(False)
    • This change improves argument parsing for all new applications
  • Refactored code to encapsulate most of the pyparsing logic into a ParserManager class

0.7.2
