What’s new in murex v2.2 - Change Log

This is mainly a bug fix release but it does include one breaking change for config. Please read for details.

This release sees new optional features plus major bug fixes to the existing code base:

One config shell key has changed it’s name:

This is to bring spellcheck inline with other keys that contain executable code.

This change might break some of your existing profile config!

Windows coreutils no longer returns exit code of 13 for aliases
Fixed regression bug in fg (added stronger testing here to prevent future regressions)
Generic data type, *, now uses tabwriter to align columns
Spellchecker error handling tweaked to be more user friendly

Environmental variables can been created per command:

<pre><code>» env <env:foo=bar> | grep foo
foo=bar</code></pre>

stdstream.SetDataType() only works on first call – ignored thereafter. This will impact pipes that are written to by many processes but results in more predictable code due possible timing errors where different processes are overwriting the stream data type
