  • v0.19 Changes

    October 27, 2013

    🚀 As of this release, the old bug tracker at Google code is deprecated. Please use Github's tracker for new bugs.

    • Support for configuration file living in XDG_CONFIG_HOME (see github #99).
    • Com uses safer runInteractiveProcess instead of spawning a shell (David McLean). If you're using shell expansion in your Com (e.g. "~/bin/script") here's a workaround: Run Com "/bin/bash" ["-c", "~/bin/script"] (cf. github #127).

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • Safer standard input parsing, avoiding injections.
