Don't attempt to change the display order of flags/options until any app
settings have been propagated down from a parent App in case DeriveDisplayOrder
and/or UnifiedHelpMessage are propagated.
Fixes#706
One can now use `AppSettings::AllowNegativeNumbers` which functions similar to `AllowLeadingHyphen`
with the exception that only unknown numbers are allowed have a preceding hyphen character.
See the documentation for details and examples.
Closes#696
* 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.
The new version of rustc 1.14.0-nightly (144af3e97 2016-10-02) has new
linting warnings/errors. This commit fixes them.

Added same alias funtionality for flags, now you can do:
```
Arg::with_name("flg")
.long("flag")
.short("f")
.alias("not_visible_flag")
.visible_alias("awesome_v_flag")
```

There are some cases where you need to have an argument to have an
alias, an example could be when you depricate one option in favor of
another one.
Now you are going to be able to alias arguments as follows:
```
Arg::with_name("opt")
.long("opt")
.short("o")
.takes_value(true)
.alias("invisible")
.visible_alias("visible")
```
Closes#669
This should also speeds up the parser (except maybe for short options).
Multi-codepoint characters still can't be used as short options, but people shouldn't non-ASCII options nyway.
Closes#664
Now if one wishes to use value delimiters, they must explicitly set `Arg::use_delimiter(true)` or
`Arg::require_delimiter(true)`. No other methods implicitly set this value.
Closes#666
Previously one could only hide the possible values of an argument application or command wide, and
not on a per argument basis. Now one can use the `Arg::hide_possible_values(bool)` method to hide
only that arguments possible values.
Closes#640
Prior to this change, values were always delimited by default. This was causing issues with code
where the arg had a single value, and contained valid commas and shouldn't be delimited. This
commit changes the rules slightly so that values are not delimited by default, *unless* one of the
methods which implies multiple values was used (max_values, value_names, etc.).
This means single value args should *not* be delimited by default. If one wishes to use the old
way, they can add `Arg::use_delimiter(true)` to such code.
Closes#655
Prior to this commit, clap would mangle help messages with hard newlines
(see #617). After this commit, clap will ignore hard newlines and treat
them like an inserted newline, properly wrapping and aligning text and
then restarting it's count until the next newline should be inserted.
This commit also removes the need for using `{n}` to insert a newline in
help text, now the traditional `\n` can be used. For backwards
compatibility, the `{n}` still works.
Closes#617
In some cases settings were only propogated down one level deep, this
commit ensures settings are propogated down through all subcommands
recursively.
Closes#638
This is useful if a more meaningful message can be displayed to the
user with `Error::exit`. For example, if a file is not found, the
converted `io::Error` will give a message like:
"error: entity not found"
With this, it is possible to replace this message with a more useful
one, like for instance:
"error: configuration file not found"
Coloring is respected. Some duplication in the `From::from` impls was
reduced.
* 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
Prior to this commit if one wished to use source formatting and ignore
term width they could do `App::set_term_width(usize::MAX)` now one can
also use `App::set_term_width(0)` which does the same thing.
Closes#625
One can now use a list or single value for certain Arg YAML declarations
such as possible_values, etc.
Prior to this commit, if only a single value was desired one would have
to use the format:
```yaml
possible_values:
- value
```
But now once can use
```yaml
possible_values: value
```
Closes#614Closes#613
For example, doing `myprog help subcmd1 subcmd2` would have incorrectly
produced the usage string, `myprog subcmd2 [options]` but now correctly
prints `myprog subcmd1 subcmd2 [options]`
Closes#618
The following completion would happen (using example 17_yaml.rs):
```
$ prog <tab>
help subcmd
```
```
$ prog -<tab><tab>
--help -h (Prints help information)
--max-vals (you can only supply a max of 3 values for me!)
--min-vals (you must supply at least two values to satisfy me)
--mode (shows an option with specific values)
--mult-vals (demos an option which has two named values)
--option -o (example option argument from yaml)
--version -V (Prints version information)
-F (demo flag argument)
```
```
$ prog --<tab><tab>
--help -h (Prints help information)
--max-vals (you can only supply a max of 3 values for me!)
--min-vals (you must supply at least two values to satisfy me)
--mode (shows an option with specific values)
--mult-vals (demos an option which has two named values)
--option -o (example option argument from yaml)
--version -V (Prints version information)
```
```
$ prog --mode <tab>
emacs (shows an option with specific values) vi (shows an option with specific values)
```
```
$ prog subcmd -<tab>
--help -h (Prints help information) -B (example subcommand option)
--version -V (Prints version information)
```
```
$ prog subcmd --<tab>
--help (Prints help information) --version (Prints version information)
```
