2.5.3 (November 5, 2024)

• Enhancements
  • Changed CommandSet._cmd to a read-only property which never returns None because it is meant to be called after the CommandSet is registered. This addresses type checker errors that occurred if CommandSet._cmd wasn't cast or checked if None before use.

2.5.2 (November 3, 2024)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed default pytest execution when not using cmd2's custom invoke command via inv pytest

2.5.1 (November 2, 2024)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed readline bug when using ipy command with gnureadline and Python 3.13

2.5.0 (October 23, 2024)

• Breaking Change
  • cmd2 2.5 supports Python 3.8+ (removed support for Python 3.6 and 3.7)
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed issue where persistent history file was not saved upon SIGHUP and SIGTERM signals.
  • Multiline commands are no longer fragmented in up-arrow history.
  • Fixed bug where async_alert() overwrites readline's incremental and non-incremental search prompts.
    • This fix introduces behavior where an updated prompt won't display after an aborted search
      until a user presses Enter. See async_printing.py
      example for how to handle this case using Cmd.need_prompt_refresh() and Cmd.async_refresh_prompt().
• Enhancements
  • Removed dependency on attrs and replaced with dataclasses
  • add allow_clipboard initialization parameter and attribute to disable ability to
    add output to the operating system clipboard
  • Updated unit tests to be Python 3.13 compliant.
  • Fall back to bz2 compression of history file when lzma is not installed.
  • Added settable called scripts_add_to_history which determines whether scripts and pyscripts
    add commands to history.
• Deletions (potentially breaking changes)
  • Removed apply_style from Cmd.pwarning().

2.4.3 (January 27, 2023)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed ValueError caused when passing Cmd.columnize() strings wider than display_width.
• Enhancements
  • Renamed utils.str_to_bool() -> utils.to_bool().
  • Enhanced utils.to_bool() so that it accepts and converts bool, int, and float in addition to str.

2.4.2 (July 13, 2022)

• Enhancements
  • Updated argparse decorator to remove annotations when the docstring is used for a command's help text.
  • Updated unit test to be Python 3.11 compliant.

2.4.1 (April 13, 2022)

  • Fixed issue where tab completion was quoting argparse flags in some cases.
• Enhancements
  • Added broader exception handling when enabling clipboard functionality via pyperclip.
  • Added PassThroughException to __init__.py imports.
  • cmd2 now uses pyreadline3 when running any version of Python on Windows
  • Improved memory usage in certain use cases of tables (e.g. nested colored tables)
• Deletions (potentially breaking changes)
  • Deleted cmd2.fg and cmd2.bg which were deprecated in 2.3.0. Use cmd2.Fg and cmd2.Bg instead.

2.3.3 (November 29, 2021)

• Enhancements
  • Added clearer exception handling to BorderedTable and SimpleTable.

2.3.2 (November 22, 2021)

• Bug Fixes
