v4.4
v4.4
v4.4 features two new builtins, improvements in testing, and automatic generation of autocompletion suggestions backed by man page parsing. Plus there has been a lot of focus on improving readline responsiveness
v4.4.9500
Breaking Changes
None
Features
autocompletion:
su
integration for Linux$GOPATH
is no longer required to run unit tests
Bug Fixes
readline: paths wouldn't autocomplete on scalars (eg
cd $GOPATH/...
)readline: previews wouldn't work against variables (eg
vi ~/file.txt
)
v4.4.9000
Breaking Changes
None
Features
readline:
f1
should work even outside of autocompletereadline: wider preview pane
Bug Fixes
readline: fix preview wrapping on long lines
readline: image previews should scale to preview height
readline: better handling of terminal resizing

Bug Fixes
@IncManPages
autocomplete
value for Dynamic directive renamed to@IncManPage
, like the IncManPage directivereadline: render glitch fixed with delayed completions racing against hint text updates
readline: render glitches fixed when buffers are not being reset correctly after preview box has, or should have, closed
readline: man page preview now removes backspace characters correctly from UNIX docs
readline: man page preview now more reliably scrolls to the right line when a flag is highlighted in autocompletion
readline: preview now works for list views as well as grid views
v4.4.7000
Breaking Changes
- preview-enabled
config
option removed. This actually doesn't break anything, just produces a warning. Theconfig
option was also undocumented and experimental
Features
- Preview is now considered stable. Press
f1
while autocomplete is open to use (read more)
Bug Fixes
readline: render glitch fixed with delayed path completions
readline: excess white spaces removed from man page descriptions
v4.4.x
Breaking Changes
- 'Name' field dropped from
onCommandCompletion
interrupt (this field was never documented)
Features
New builtin,
round
, which can perform rounding operations on numerical inputs (#630, read more)Vastly improved automatic man page parsing. Now descriptions are pulled alongside the flags and results are cached
man-get-flags
now includes a-d
/--description
flag to expose the improved man page parserNew builtin,
return
, which exits a given function scope (egfunction
,private
, Dynamic block inautocomplete
, etc)Improved
git

autocompletions addedbuiltin profiles are now imported as separate modules. This makes debugging easier
/integrations
directory added to Murex source, the aim of which is to make it easier for people to contribute autocompletions and other integrations with common command line tools (Github)readline: new word jump hotkeys

Bug Fixes:
test
would always run first in any block, regardless of the preferred order of execution. This was becausetest (unit|state|config)
required altering the execution state of the shell. The drawback was thattest (run|define|report)
would also run unexpectedly. This lead to hacks liketry { test run * }
to force the correct order of operations. Now the parameters oftest
are checked to determine when to execute the builtin.int

operatorsreadline:
^d
will not send EOF if line is not empty. The original behaviour was by design however after pressing^d
a few too many times when I intended to press^f
or^r
, I decided the original design was wrongFileRef

. This caused some tests to fail if they called private functionsCheck
~/.ssh/config

private (used for SSH and similar tools autocompletions)readline: lots of work done on speeding up redraws and overall responsiveness. eg buffered autocompletion menus
readline: hint text should never be displayed if disabled via
config
readline: soft timeout halved (this can be overridden via
config
)readline: cropped autocompletion suggestions in gridded layout were one character too short (off by one error)
