    🛠 Fixed

    • 0️⃣ String flag no longer persists the default value if the flag is explicitly initialized in #981 via @asahasrabuddhe
    • context.IsSet() returns true or false correctly regardless of whether the short name or the full name of the flag is passed to it in #978 via @asahasrabuddhe
    • Hide version if the version is not set by the user in #954 via @asahasrabuddhe

    ➕ Added

  • v1.20.0 Changes

    August 11, 2017

    🛠 Fixed

    • HandleExitCoder is now correctly iterates over all errors in a MultiError. The exit code is the exit code of the last error or 1 if there are no ExitCoders in the MultiError.
    • 🛠 Fixed YAML file loading on Windows (previously would fail validate the file path)
    • Subcommand Usage, Description, ArgsUsage, OnUsageError correctly propogated
    • ErrWriter is now passed downwards through command structure to avoid the need to redefine it
    • Pass Command context into OnUsageError rather than parent context so that all fields are avaiable
    • 🖨 Errors occuring in Before funcs are no longer double printed
    • 👉 Use UsageText in the help templates for commands and subcommands if defined; otherwise build the usage as before (was previously ignoring this field)
    • IsSet and GlobalIsSet now correctly return whether a flag is set if a program calls Set or GlobalSet directly after flag parsing (would previously only return true if the flag was set during parsing)

    🔄 Changed

    • No longer exit the program on command/subcommand error if the error raised is not an OsExiter. This exiting behavior was introduced in 1.19.0, but was determined to be a regression in functionality. See the PR for discussion.

    ➕ Added

    • CommandsByName type was added to make it easy to sort Commands by name, alphabetically
    • altsrc now handles loading of string and int arrays from TOML
    • 👌 Support for definition of custom help templates for App via CustomAppHelpTemplate
    • 👌 Support for arbitrary key/value fields on App to be used with CustomAppHelpTemplate via ExtraInfo
    • HelpFlag, VersionFlag, and BashCompletionFlag changed to explictly be cli.Flags allowing for the use of custom flags satisfying the cli.Flag interface to be used.

  • v1.19.1 Changes

    November 22, 2016

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🛠 Fixes regression introduced in 1.19.0 where using an ActionFunc as the Action for a command would cause it to error rather than calling the function. Should not have a affected declarative cases using func(c *cli.Context) err).
    • Shell completion now handles the case where the user specifies --generate-bash-completion immediately after a flag that takes an argument. Previously it call the application with --generate-bash-completion as the flag value.

  • v1.19.0 Changes

    November 19, 2016

    ➕ Added

    • FlagsByName was added to make it easy to sort flags (e.g. sort.Sort(cli.FlagsByName(app.Flags)))
    • A Description field was added to App for a more detailed description of
      the application (similar to the existing Description field on Command)
    • Flag type code generation via go generate
    • Write to stderr and exit 1 if action returns non-nil error
    • ➕ Added support for TOML to the altsrc loader
    • SkipArgReorder was added to allow users to skip the argument reordering.
      This is useful if you want to consider all "flags" after an argument as
      0️⃣ arguments rather than flags (the default behavior of the stdlib flag
      library). This is backported functionality from the removal of the flag
      🚀 reordering       in the unreleased version
      2
    • For formatted errors (those implementing ErrorFormatter), the errors will
      be formatted during output. Compatible with pkg/errors.

    🔄 Changed

    • ✅ Raise minimum tested/supported Go version to 1.2+

    🛠 Fixed

    • Consider empty environment variables as set (previously environment variables
      with the equivalent of "" would be skipped rather than their value used).
    • 📜 Return an error if the value in a given environment variable cannot be parsed
      as the flag type. Previously these errors were silently swallowed.
    • 🖨 Print full error when an invalid flag is specified (which includes the invalid flag)
    • 0️⃣ App.Writer defaults to stdout when nil
    • 🖨 If no action is specified on a command or app, the help is now printed instead of panicing
    • 📇 App.Metadata is initialized automatically now (previously was nil unless initialized)
    • Correctly show help message if -h is provided to a subcommand
    • context.(Global)IsSet now respects environment variables. Previously it
      would return false if a flag was specified in the environment rather than
      as an argument
    • ✂ Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user
    • ⚡️ altsrcs import paths were updated to use gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1. This
      🛠 fixes issues that occurred when gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1 was imported as well
      as altsrc where Go would complain that the types didn't match

  • v1.18.1 Changes

    August 29, 2016

    🛠 Fixed

    • ✂ Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user (backported)

  • v1.18.0 Changes

    June 28, 2016

    ➕ Added

    • ✅ ./runtests test runner with coverage tracking by default
    • ✅ testing on OS X
    • 🏁 testing on Windows
    • 👍 UintFlag, Uint64Flag, and Int64Flag types and supporting code

    🔄 Changed

    • 👉 Use spaces for alignment in help/usage output instead of tabs, making the
      output alignment consistent regardless of tab width

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🖨 Printing of command aliases in help text
    • 🖨 Printing of visible flags for both struct and struct pointer flags
    • Display the help subcommand when using CommandCategories
    • No longer swallows panics that occur within the Actions themselves when
      detecting the signature of the Action field
