|---|---|---|
| Removed DoubleCheckedLocking test from checkstyle configuration. Fixes CLI-231. Thanks to Duncan Jones. | tn |
| Options.getRequiredOptions() now returns an unmodifiable list. Fixes CLI-230. | tn |
| Added new fluent API to create Option instances via builder class Option.Builder. This replaces the now deprecated OptionBuilder. Fixes CLI-224. Thanks to Duncan Jones, Brian Blount. | tn |
| Clarify javadoc for CommandLine.getOptionValue() that the first specified argument will be returned. Fixes CLI-218. Thanks to Sven. | tn |
| Added new method Options.addOption(String, String). Fixes CLI-214. Thanks to Alexandru Mocanu. | tn |
| Changed unit tests to junit 4 annotation style. Fixes CLI-227. Thanks to Duncan Jones. | tn |
| Default options will now work correctly with required options that are missing. Fixes CLI-202. | ebourg |
| Default options will now work correctly together with option groups. Fixes CLI-203. | ebourg |
| The javadoc of OptionBuilder now states that the class is not thread-safe. Fixes CLI-209. Thanks to Thomas Herre. | ebourg |
| HelpFormatter now supports setting the displayed separator of long options. Fixes CLI-169. Thanks to J. Lewis Muir. | ebourg |
| Improve description of parameter "stopAtNonOption" in method CommandLine.parse(Options, String[], boolean). Fixes CLI-197. Thanks to Anders Larsson. | ebourg |
| Passing default values for not defined options to a parser will now trigger a ParseException instead of a NullPointerException. Fixes CLI-204. | ebourg |
| HelpFormatter.setArgName(String) now correctly sets the argument name. Fixes CLI-205. | ebourg |
| Default properties provided as input to the Parser.parse() methods are now correctly processed. Fixes CLI-201. | ebourg |
| CommandLine.getParsedOptionValue() now returns a String object if no option type has been explicitly set. Fixes CLI-215. Thanks to Manuel Müller. | ebourg |
| Fixed typo in javadoc of class CommandLine. Fixes CLI-200. Thanks to Gerard Weatherby. | ggregory |
| Source code now uses generic types instead of raw types where possible. Fixes CLI-223. Thanks to Gerard Weatherby. | ebourg |
| Corrected javadoc for return type of MissingOptionException.getMissingOptions(). Fixes CLI-220. Thanks to Joe Casadonte. | ebourg |
| HelpFormatter now prints command-line options in the same order as they have been added. Fixes CLI-212. Thanks to Per Cederberg. | ebourg |
| Standard help text now shows mandatory arguments also for the first option. Fixes CLI-186. Thanks to Kristoff Kiefer. | ebourg |
| HelpFormatter does not strip anymore leading whitespace in the footer text. Fixes CLI-207. Thanks to Uri Moszkowicz. | ebourg |
| Strip quotes contained in argument values only if there is exactly one at the beginning and one at the end. Fixes CLI-185. Thanks to Einar M R Rosenvinge. | ebourg |
| Negative numerical arguments take precedence over numerical options (only supported by the new DefaultParser). Fixes CLI-184. | ebourg |
| Fix possible StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in HelpFormatter. Fixes CLI-193. Thanks to Travis McLeskey. | ebourg |
| A new parser is available: DefaultParser. It combines the features of the GnuParser and the PosixParser. It also provides additional features like partial matching for the long options, and long options without separator (i.e like the JVM memory settings: -Xmx512m). This new parser deprecates the previous ones. Fixes CLI-161,CLI-167,CLI-181. | ebourg |
| OptionGroups no longer throw an AlreadySelectedException when reused for several parsings. Fixes CLI-183. | ebourg |
| OptionGroup now selects properly an option with no short name. Fixes CLI-182. | ebourg |
| PosixParser now supports partial long options (--ver instead of --version). Fixes CLI-160. | ebourg |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| OptionBuilder is now reseted if an IllegalArgumentException occurs in create(). Fixes CLI-177. | joehni |
| Ant build system removed. | bayard |
| Incomplete usage documentation about Java property option. Fixes CLI-154. | ebourg |
| TypeHandler prints messages to stderr. Fixes CLI-170. | bayard |
| Infinite loop in the wrapping code of HelpFormatter. Fixes CLI-162. | bayard |
| Fixing some minor javadoc issues. | sgoeschl |
| The number of arguments defined for an option specifies the arguments per occurrence of the option and not for all occurrences. This was a major regression in CLI 1.1 which prevented the use of repeated options. Fixes CLI-137. | ebourg |
| Added a getOptionProperties() method in the CommandLine class to retrieve easily the key/value pairs specified with options like -Dkey1=value1 -Dkey2=value2. | ebourg |
| GnuParser now supports long options with an '=' sign (ie. --foo=bar and -foo=bar) Fixes CLI-157. | ebourg |
| PosixParser no longer ignores unrecognized short options. Fixes CLI-164. | ebourg |
| PosixParser no longer stops the bursting process of a token if stopAtNonOption is enabled and a non option character is encountered. Fixes CLI-163. | ebourg |
| PosixParser no longer keeps processing the tokens after an unrecognized long option when stopAtNonOption is enabled. Fixes CLI-165. | ebourg |
| Required options are properly checked if an Options instance is used twice to parse a command line. Fixes CLI-156. | ebourg |
| The ordering of options can be defined in help messages. Fixes CLI-155. | bayard |
| The line wrapping in HelpFormatter now works properly. This caused CLI-162, and thus there was a feature change for the HelpFormatter in that it is strict on width now rather than what seemed to be lenience before. Text without whitespace will be cut off to fit in the spacing, and an IllegalStateException will be thrown if it is impossible to output the information due to spacing constraints. Fixes CLI-151. Thanks to Dan Armbrust. | bayard |
| The message of MissingOptionException has been improved. Fixes CLI-149. | bayard |
| The exceptions have been enhanced with methods to retrieve easily the related options. Fixes CLI-86. | ebourg |
| Option.toString() now reports arguments properly. Fixes CLI-141. Thanks to Henning Schmiedehausen, Bjorn Townsend. | bayard |
| The Parser class has been changed to be more easily extendable. Fixes CLI-142. Thanks to Henning Schmiedehausen. | bayard |
| The following classes are now serializable: Option, OptionGroup, CommandLine and Options. Fixes CLI-140. | bayard |
| OptionValidator is no longer public, its methods were all private. | ebourg |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong usage summary. Fixes CLI-2. | |
| Dependecy on commons-lang-2.0 but commons-lang-1.0 is obtained. Fixes CLI-5. | |
| Line separator as first char for helpformatter (footer) throws exception. Fixes CLI-8. | |
| CommandLine.getOptionValue() behaves contrary to docs. Fixes CLI-13. | |
| clone method in Option should use super.clone(). Fixes CLI-21. | |
| Passing properties in Parser does not work for options with a single argument. Fixes CLI-23. | |
| Only long options without short option seems to be noticed. Fixes CLI-26. | |
| Infinite Loop in Command-Line processing. Fixes CLI-28. | |
| Options should not be able to be added more than once. Fixes CLI-29. | |
| HelpFormatter doesn't sort options properly. Fixes CLI-35. | |

| No Javadoc for HelpFormatter!. Fixes CLI-59. | |
| Parser breaks up command line parms into single characters. Fixes CLI-65. | |
| Missing arguments in HelpFormatter.renderOptions(..). Fixes CLI-67. | |
| Error parsing option arguments. Fixes CLI-69. | |
| A weakness of parser. Fixes CLI-71. | |
| Setting description of a Option. Fixes CLI-78. | |
| CLI_1_BRANCH build.xml doesn't work. Fixes CLI-129. | |
| Remove the Commons Lang dependency. Fixes CLI-130. | |
| Options class returns options in random order. Fixes CLI-131. | |
| MissingOptionException should contain a useful error message. Fixes CLI-132. | |
| NullPointerException in Util.stripLeadingHyphens when passed a null argument. Fixes CLI-133. | |
| 1.1 is not backwards compatible because it adds methods to the CommandLineParser interface. Fixes CLI-134. | |
| Backwards compatibility between 1.1 and 1.0 broken due to Option.addValue removal. Fixes CLI-135. |
