v2.10

Breaking changes:

• None.

Other notable changes:

• bashy-basics:
  • Handle branches (not just tags) in buildy pull-repo.
• bashy-node:
  • Added --runner-versions[] option to node-project build-main-module.
  • Updated node-project lint to handle new-style "flat" ESLint config files.

v2.9

Breaking changes:

• None.

Other notable changes:

• bashy-basics:
  • Accept jq versions that have "patch" values (that is, sub-minor version
    numbers).
• bashy-node:
  • New subcommand lint, extracted from sibling project lactoserv.
  • New option --runner-script for node-project build-main-module, using
    code extracted from sibling project lactoserv.
  • Accept Node v21 when running.

v2.8

This is a stable-ish release. No further breaking changes are currently
contemplated for the 2.* release series.

Breaking changes:

• bashy-node: Reworked build options to use the newly-standardized multi-value
  forms. Only nominally breaking in that use of bashy-node at all is
  pretty minimal.

Other notable changes:

• bashy-basics:
  • New utility functions env-clean, env-minimize, and env-names.
  • New helper library buildy-help, to help avoid some project-build-related
    boilerplate.

v2.7

This is a stable-ish release. No further breaking changes are currently
contemplated for the 2.* release series.

Breaking changes:

• bashy-core:
  • arg-processor:
    • Tightened up syntax for passing multi-value arguments.
    • Reworked --enum to be a multi-value option in the same way that the
      system lets clients define them. Most notably, it's now --enum[]=
      instead of --enum=.
    • Changed how --filter functions/code are called, so that they no longer
      run in a subshell, which required changing how the client filter code is
      defined. TLDR: Instead of printing replacement values, they now need to
      call replace-value.

Other notable changes:

• bashy-core:
  • arg-processor:
    • --filter now supports {...} to specify a code snippet, just like
      --call already does.
    • --eval values can be specified using the same multi-value syntax used by
      the rest of the system.
  • misc:
    • Made vals more conservative in its output.
    • New function set-array-from-vals, which is (approximately) the reverse
      action of vals.

v2.6

Breaking changes:

• bashy-core:
  • arg-processor:
    • New recommended processing call process-args "$@" || exit "$?", because
      of "magic" reduction noted below.
    • Renamed --init to --default, which is a better word for the meaning.
    • Removed opt-choice, as it's now covered by the more general opt-alias
      (see below).
  • define-usage: Dropped "magical" exit behavior.

Other notable changes:

• Cleaned up existing doc and added a handful more.
• bashy-core:
  • arg-processor:
    • Tightened up error checking and reporting.
    • Added opt-alias to allow for expansion of single no-value options into
      multiple options (including with values). Used underlying facility to
      rework implementation of single-character short options.
    • Added opt-multi to accept multi-valued options. Relatedly, added
      multi-value option passing syntax --opt-name[]=..., along with helper
      function vals for use sites.
  • define-usage: New option --with-help to help reduce boilerplate.
  • stderr-msg: New option --file-line.
  • Added a lot of tests, covering almost all of the core library functionality.

v2.5

Notable changes:

• Added a simple test harness, and made a handful of tests.
• bashy-core:
  • New interactive ubik, which will use one found on PATH as a last resort.
  • arg-processor: New post-process hook post-process-args-call.
• bashy-basics:
  • buildy:
    • New command buildy make-distro, cribbed from sibling project lactoserv
      and adapted for more general use.
    • New command buildy ls-files, inspired by (and based on) the git
      command of the same name.
  • New command ls-files, top-level and non-git-specific (as opposed to the
    one in buildy).
  • Renamed jbash-array to jset-array, and made major improvements.
  • New command jstring.
• New sub-library bashy-node, for Node-specific stuff, particularly help
  building and maintaining Node projects. As with make-distro (above), this
  started out life in the sibling project lactoserv. Note: This
  sub-library is fairly opinionated.

v2.4

v2.4 -- 2023-09-26

Notable changes:

• bashy-core: Support linking within script directories, to enable
  encapsulated subprojects.
• bashy-basics: Make jval and jget option --input=raw0[:slurp] work as
  expected with jq-1.7. (The new jq fixes a bug which we had implicitly
  relied on.)

v2.3

Notable changes:

• bashy-basics: Fixed handling of nop JSON output filters, that is, :: --output=none without any JSON processing commands. Previously this could
  sometimes confusingly fail or at least produce a spurious error message.

v2.2

Notable changes:

• bashy-core:
  • New helper functions: set-array-from-lines and sort-array.
  • lib: New option --exec. New feature lib ., lib .., etc.
  • Expanded functionality of helpy print-usage.
  • ubik:
    • Finds functions from the library, not just commands (scripts).
    • Smarter error reporting.
  • stderr:
    • New helper functions for more consistency amongst commands.
    • progress-msg defaults to enabled.
  • A decent handful of bugfixes.
• bashy-basics:
  • New command hierarchy buildy, to do some common project-build type stuff.
  • New script timey secs. Subsumes and deprecates timey now-secs.
  • New helper functions jbash-array and jpostproc.
  • Renamed commands json-* to just j*.

v2.1

v2.1 -- 2023-05-12

Notable changes:

• Major rework of boilerplate files, for much faster library loading.
• Fix a handful of bugs that were introduced during the earlier restructuring.
• Rename "sublibrary" to "unit" in both prose and code.
• New "smart dispatch" shell function wrapper for ubik.
• Change the default of rsync-local to be --no-delete and not --delete, to match regular rsync.
• New scripts:
  • tempy (temporary file/dir) utilities.
  • timey (date/time) utilities.
  • Sublibrary bashy-net, with a few tools extracted from the sibling project milky-cloud.
