Hi, I have made some changes to tools.cli to fix an annoying bug arround boolean flags and the inability to collect 'trailing arguments'. Whilst gathering opinions on these changes, a few other suggestions were made such as removing all magic functions and System/exit calls. The update is therefore going to break the existing API which you obviously need to be aware of if you are currently using 0.1.0 and intend to upgrade to 0.2.0.
The release has been cut, but the last time I checked it still hadn't hit maven central, so this is slightly advanced notice. To see details of the new api please see: https://github.com/clojure/tools.cli. There are a few things worth mentioning... support for grouped options has been removed, and the result of the call to cli is now a vector of [options, trailing arguments, usage banner] (originally it was just a hash of options). Automatic help is also no longer provided, an example of how to roll your own is at the bottom of the aforementioned page. a brief example of the differences (see the site for full details though): 0.1.0: (cli ["-p" "8080" "-v" "--foo" "bar" "some-filename"] (optional ["-p" "--port" "The port"] #(Integer. %)) (optional ["-f" "--foo" "Some foos"]) (optional ["-v" "--[no-]verbose" "Be chatty"]) => {:port 8080, :foo "bar", :verbose true} 0.2.0: (cli ["-p" "8080" "--foo" "bar" "-v" "some-filename"] ["-p" "--port" "The port" :parse-fn #(Integer. %)] ["-f" "--foo" "Some foos"] ["-v" "--[no-]verbose" "Be chatty" :default false]) => [{:port 8080, :foo "bar", :verbose true}, ["some-filename"], "*the usage banner*"] Apologies for anyone upset by the timing / notification of the changes -- I will give greater advanced notice in future if there are any more breaking changes (hopefully there wont be :D) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
