@ -98,9 +98,9 @@ Additionally, to avoid `ArgMatches` from borrowing (and for some features we
decided to forgo), clap took the `&str` argument IDs and hashed them. This
prevented us from providing a usable API for iterating over existing arguments.
Now clap has switched to a String newtype that gives us the flexibility to
decide whether we want to focus on performance with `Cow<'static, str>` or
compile times with `Box<str>`.
Now clap has switched to a string newtype that gives us the flexibility to
decide whether to use `&'static str`, `Cow<'static, str>` for fast dynamic behavior, or
`Box<str>` for dynamic behavior with small binary size.
As an extension of that work, you can now call `ArgMatches::ids` to iterate
over the arguments and groups that were found when parsing. The newtype `Id`

- `ArgAction::Append`, requiring `ArgMatches::get_many` instead of `ArgMatches::values_of`
- By default, an `Arg`s default action is `ArgAction::Set`, rather than `ArgAction::IncOccurrence` to reduce confusing magic through consistency (#2687, #4032, see also #3977)
- `mut_arg` can no longer be used to customize help and version arguments, instead disable them (`Command::disable_help_flag`, `Command::disable_version_flag`) and provide your own (#4056)
- Removed lifetimes from `Command`, `Arg`, `ArgGroup`, and `PossibleValue`
- Removed lifetimes from `Command`, `Arg`, `ArgGroup`, and `PossibleValue`, assuming `'static`. `string` feature flag will enable support for `String`s (#1041, #2150, #4223)
- `arg!(--flag <value>)` is now optional, instead of required. Add `.required(true)` at the end to restore the original behavior (#4206)
- *(parser)* Always fill in `""` argument for external subcommands to make it easier to distinguish them from built-in commands (#3263)
