# 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}`
