BREAKING CHANGES

• Fewer liftimes! Yay!
• App<'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 'e, 'f> => App<'a, 'b>
• Arg<'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 'e, 'f> => Arg<'a, 'b>
• ArgMatches<'a, 'b> => ArgMatches<'a>
• Simply Renamed
• App::arg_group => App::group
• App::arg_groups => App::groups
• ArgGroup::add => ArgGroup::arg
• ArgGroup::add_all => ArgGroup::args
• ClapError => Error
• struct field ClapError::error_type => Error::kind
• ClapResult => Result
• ClapErrorType => ErrorKind
• Removed Deprecated Functions and Methods
• App::subcommands_negate_reqs
• App::subcommand_required
• App::arg_required_else_help
• App::global_version(bool)
• App::versionless_subcommands
• App::unified_help_messages
• App::wait_on_error

• Value names can now be specified inline, i.e. -o, --option <FILE> <FILE2> 'some option which takes two files'

Ensure your args are using the proper names (i.e. typically the long or short and NOT the value name) throughout the code
• ArgMatches::values_of returns an Values now which implements Iterator (should not break any code)
• crate_version! returns &'static str instead of String
• Using the clap_app! macro requires compiling with the unstable feature because the syntax could change slightly in the future
