Release History

dev

• Change the formatters attribute of display commands to reflect the fact that it is meant to be an implementation detail of the base class, and not used or modified by outsiders.

1.5.2

• Fix the arguments passed to commands when they are instantiated to pull out help. See https://github.com/dreamhost/cliff/issues/52 for details.
• Add bash command completion. (Contributed by Terry Howe)
• Use stevedore to load formatter plugins.
• Use pbr for packaging.

1.4.5

• Update the pyparsing dependency to a version that supports both Python 2 and Python 3.
• Add PyPy testing.

1.4.4

1.4

• Store a reference to the InteractiveApp on the App while in interactive mode to allow commands to update the interactive state. (Contributed by Tomaz Muraus)

• Update to allow cmd2 version 0.6.5.1. Contributed by Dirk Mueller.

• Relax version requirement for PrettyTable dependency to allow point releases of 0.7.

1.3.1
