Fixed

• Make sure cli/*opts* reflects what the main command receives

0.14.62 (2024-07-04 / 8a515f3)

Added

• Allow :init also on nested subcommands, gets merged into top level init. Flags are processed afterwards, so this is good way to set initial data that flags can filter/change

Fixed

• Fix generated help text when subcommand is not recognized

0.12.53 (2024-05-30 / 7b52e6d)

Added

• Better help messages: say why we are showing the help (no such command, missing positional args)

0.9.42 (2024-05-27 / 3b81e73)

Changed

• Exit with error message if conditional arguments are missing

0.8.39 (2024-05-24 / e967e9c)

Added

• -h can now be used to get help, in addition to --help

Changed

• When encountering parse errors (invalid arguments), print a message and exit, rather than throwing (which looks quite ugly from a bb script)

0.5.27 (2024-02-26 / 28f559d)

Added

• Allow a command spec to be just a function

Fixed

• Preserve command order in help text when using a vector

0.4.24 (2024-02-17 / 5a1e316)

Added

• Bind the options map to cli/*opts*, for easy access.
• Show the default for a flag in the help text.
• Add a docstring to the main entry point (dispatch)
• Bind *opts* during flag handler execution

Fixed

• Recognize - and \\--foo as positional args

Changed

• When given both a :default and a :handler for a flag, call the handler with the default, rather than just assoc-ing it.
• When given a string :default and a :parse function for a flag, run the default value through the parse function, rather than using it directly. Using the unparsed string form for the default is preferable over for instance using a keyword, since it leads to better help text rendering.
• Improve and document the processing logic, especially when it comes to subcommand flags with handler functions.
