optparse-applicative v0.14.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-06-09 // almost 7 years ago

    ⬆️ Upgrade str and related builders to be polymorphic over
    ✅ IsString. This allows Text and Bytestring to be used
    naturally with strOption and strArgument and friends.

    Note: This change may require additional type signatures
    in cases where the reader was necessary for type
    inference.

    Export public API explicitly from Options.Applicative
    instead of re-exporting other modules.

    Note: Minor changes to exports were made in conjunction
    📜 to this change. ParserHelp no longer requires an
    an extra import, and some internally used functions
    from Options.Applicative.Common are no longer
    exported from the main module.

    ➕ Add Zsh and Fish completions with rich descriptions for
    options and commands.

    👉 Use "--zsh-completion-script" and "fish-completion-script"
    to generate scripts for these shells.

    🛠 Fix bash completions with quoted sections, tilde expansions
    and completions after "--".

    ➕ Add suggestions to error message when a user mistypes a
    command or option.

    ➕ Add style builder, for styling option descriptions.

    👌 Improve error message for options when a required argument
    is not supplied.

    🛠 Fix #242 regarding flags with long options, where a flag given
    a long option could be interpreted incorrectly.

    🛠 Fix noIntersperse to be more like its namesakes in other
    libraries. When on, options will be accepted until an argument
    is passed, after which all options will be treated as positional
    arguments.

    ➕ Add forwardOptions builder, which will allow unknown options
    🏗 and flags to be passed to an argument builder.
    📜 This is useful to mixed parsing environments, or wrappers to
    other commands.

    ➕ Add Semigroup instances for Completer and Chunk.

    Forwards compatibility with MonadFail proposal.
