This version of textwrap uses a new wrapping algorithm that allocates
fewer strings on the heap.
The 05_ripgrep benchmarks shows a performance improvement of 3-15%.
The build_help_long benchmark benefits the most since it uses longer
help texts.
All the other features are either irrelevant, for nightly or already included by default so this should build with all features.

The textwrap crate uses a simpler linear-time algorithm for wrapping
the text. The current algorithm in wrap_help uses several O(n) calls
to String::insert and String::remove, which makes it potentially
quadratic in complexity.
Comparing the 05_ripgrep benchmark at commits textwrap~2 and textwrap
gives this result on my machine:
name before ns/iter after ns/iter diff ns/iter diff %
build_app_long 22,101 21,099 -1,002 -4.53%
build_app_short 22,138 21,205 -933 -4.21%
build_help_long 514,265 284,467 -229,798 -44.68%
build_help_short 85,720 85,693 -27 -0.03%
parse_clean 23,471 22,859 -612 -2.61%
parse_complex 29,535 28,919 -616 -2.09%
parse_lots 422,815 414,577 -8,238 -1.95%
As part of this commit, the wrapping_newline_chars test was updated.
The old algorithm had a subtle bug where it would break lines too
early. That is, it wrapped the text like
ARGS:
<mode> x, max, maximum 20 characters, contains
symbols.
l, long Copy-friendly,
14 characters, contains symbols.
m, med, medium Copy-friendly, 8
characters, contains symbols.";
when it should really have wrapped it like
ARGS:
<mode> x, max, maximum 20 characters, contains
symbols.
l, long Copy-friendly, 14
characters, contains symbols.
m, med, medium Copy-friendly, 8
characters, contains symbols.";
Notice how the word "14" was incorrectly moved to the next line. There
is clearly room for the word on the line with the "l, long" option
since there is room for "contains" just above it.
I'm not sure why this is, but the algorithm in textwrap handles this
case correctly.
The newly released version 1.2.0 of unicode-segmentation adds code
that use the "?" operator, which in turn requires Rust 1.13.0.
However, clap currently still works with Rust 1.11.0 and this caused
build failures:
https://travis-ci.org/kbknapp/clap-rs/jobs/235010822
The changes since 1.1.0 seem to be related cursors/iterators and I
think clap can work fine without them.
Not only does this remove some unsafe code from clap itself, `atty` does the
right thing on Windows too. This isn't relevant now since we don't currently
support colorized output on Windows, but will come in handy if/when we
implement that feature (#836).
* tests: adds tests for default values triggering conditional requirements
* fix: fixes a bug where default values should have triggered a conditional requirement but didnt
Closes#831
* tests: adds tests for missing conditional requirements in usage string of errors
* fix: fixes a bug where conditionally required args werent appearing in errors
* tests: adds tests for completion generators
* tests: adds tests for completions with binaries names that have underscores
* fix: fixes a bug where ZSH completions would panic if the binary name had an underscore in it
Closes#581
* fix: fixes bash completions for commands that have an underscore in the name
Closes#581
* chore: fix the category for crates.io

Closes#838
* fix(Completions): fixes a bug where global args weren't included in the generated completion scripts

Closes#832
* imp: adds ArgGroup::multiple to the supported YAML fields for building ArgGroups from YAML

* chore: increase version
* Clap has dependencies even with all features disabled.
* The "nightly" feature does nothing, so don't mention it.
* Explain the difference between "unstable" and "nightly" better.
* Split features into groups (default, opt-in, clap-development).
* For contributors: update what tests should be run, and remove make command.
* Removes a repeated word and splits up some long markdown lines.
Also groups features by category and dependencies by feature in Cargo.toml.
* feat: adds App::with_defaults to automatically use crate_authors! and crate_version! macros
One can now use
```rust
let a = App::with_defaults("My Program");
// same as
let a2 = App::new("My Program")
.version(crate_version!())
.author(crate_authors!());
```
Closes#600
* imp(YAML Errors): vastly improves error messages when using YAML
When errors are made while developing, the panic error messages have
been improved instead of relying on the default panic message which is
extremely unhelpful.
Closes#574
* imp(Completions): uses standard conventions for bash completion files, namely '{bin}.bash-completion'
Closes#567
* imp(Help): automatically moves help text to the next line and wraps when term width is determined to be too small, or help text is too long
Now `clap` will check if it should automatically place long help
messages on the next line after the flag/option. This is determined by
checking to see if the space taken by flag/option plus spaces and values
doesn't leave enough room for the entirety of the help message, with the
single exception of of if the flag/option/spaces/values is less than 25%
of the width.
Closes#597
* tests: updates help tests to new forced new line rules
* fix(Groups): fixes some usage strings that contain both args in groups and ones that conflict with each other
Args that conflict *and* are in a group will now only display in the
group and not in the usage string itself.
Closes#616
* chore: updates dep graph
Closes#633
* chore: clippy run
* style: changes debug header to match other Rust projects
* chore: increase version
Color are now only used when outputting to a termainal/TTY. There are three new settings as well
which can be used to control color output, they are:
* `AppSettings::ColorAuto`: The default, and will only output color when outputting to a terminal or TTY
* `AppSettings::ColorAlways`: Outputs color no matter where the output is going
* `AppSettings::ColorNever`: Never colors output
This now allows one to use things like command line options, or environmental variables to turn
colored output on/off.
Closes#512
By default `clap` now automatically wraps and aligns help strings to the
term width. i.e.
```
-o, --option <opt> some really long help
text that should be auto aligned but isn't righ
t now
```
Now looks like this:
```
-o, --option <opt> some really long help
text that should be
auto aligned but isn't
right now
```
The wrapping also respects words, and wraps at spaces so as to not cut
words in the middle.
This requires the `libc` dep which is enabled (by default) with the
`wrap_help` cargo feature flag.
Closes#428
