Highlights

  • Lazy propagation
  • Lazy requirement validation
  • App::write_help takes &mut self now
  • App::override_usage No longer implies \t which allows multi lined usages
  • In usage parser, for options [name]... --option [val] results in ArgSettings::MultipleOccurrences but --option [val]... results in ArgSettings::MultipleValues and ArgSettings::MultipleOccurrences. Before both resulted in the same thing
  • Allow empty values no longer default
  • UseValueDelimiter no longer the default
  • Multiple delima fixed (vals vs occurrences)
  • Ability to mutate args once they've been added to an App
  • App::args and App::arg are more generic
  • Can unset global settings
  • Instead of adding arg with long --help or --version you can use App::mut_arg to override things
    • Caution, must fully override
    • No longer forces auto-handle of help/ver however if still desired AppSettings::NoAuto{Help,Version}

How to Upgrade
