ArgumentParser 1.4.0
Additions
- Adds support for subcommand aliases via a new
CommandConfiguration.aliases
parameter. Aliases are shown in help text and used during command parsing. For example, a subcommand like "average" from the example "math" tool can be defined with the aliases["avg"]
. The resulting subcommand can now be invoked with either ofmath stats average
and ``math stats avg`. See the updated documentation and example for additional details. (#627) - Adds a new API
usageString
toParsableArguments
andParsableCommand
for retrieving their usage text, allowing for more flexible construction of error screens. (#634) - Adds support for passing custom arguments to
AsyncParsableCommand.main()
with a newstatic func main(_ arguments: [String]?) async
method. (#568)
Fixes
- Removes default parameter values from deprecated CommandConfiguration initializers to prevent them from being selected as overloads. Some niche invalid deprecation warnings should no longer occur. (#636)
