1.3.0

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Updating from 1.1.x installs everything from 1.2.0, 1.2.1 and this release at once.

Changes

• Alternate screen — menus are drawn in one buffered write, with no flicker, and your terminal is given back intact on quit, Ctrl-C, a crash or Ctrl-Z
• Editors, less and ssh run outside it — they use the normal screen and return to the menu when they exit
• Redraw on resize — the menu follows the terminal at once, without a key press, and Connexions re-lays its columns out
• Ctrl-Z works — mn stops and resumes with fg, and an editor or pager you suspended no longer freezes the terminal
• Wizards can always be cancelled — Ctrl-C or ! alone, and the way out is always shown on screen
• No dead hotkeys in Config — the letters that did nothing are gone
• Visible filter prompt — / shows what you type and Escape restores the cursor; Enter on a single match connects, and the footer says so
• Help on the normal screen — it stays in the scrollback, and mn help also prints plain text into a pipe
• Tall function scripts open in the pager
• Maintenance mode — mn now receives regression and security fixes only

1.2.1

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• One key reader for every screen — an arrow key no longer replays as letters (it used to open Delete or quit), and Space no longer counts as Enter
• Shell files written inside a marked block — ~/.bash_aliases and ~/.bash_functions keep your own lines, a one-time .mn-bak backup is made, quotes and apostrophes are escaped, and a function named like an alias or a shell keyword can no longer break the file
• Private hand-over file — the command to run after mn exits goes through a mktemp file in the runtime directory, never a fixed path in /tmp
• Old connexion rows are hidden — records in the 1.1 format are never shown or completed, so an old password cannot end up as a handle
• Uninstall is explicit — the checklist starts empty, each part is confirmed, and only what mn installed is removed
• Safer plugins — names, versions and content are validated (foo, foo@1.2, foo@latest), a symlinked plugin is removed as a link, and nothing is fetched on a bad name
• Updater that cannot downgrade — mn update stages the new tree, refuses an older version and never overwrites the running script in place
• Installer hardened — private temporary files, checked downloads, current language, editor and repositories folder kept on a re-run, and a custom editor with shell metacharacters refused
• Validated settings — names, CDN, editor, repositories root and connection IP are checked before use
• Honest feedback — a failed delete or a failed regeneration of the shell files is reported instead of showing a success
• Requires bash 4.1 — documented, and the negative array subscripts that needed 4.3 are gone

1.2.0

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Connexions rebuilt — every entry has a name, a command (via), a target, a user, aliases, an IP and a description; a column table shows the exact command line of the selected row, with u / U to pick the user, c for a command line and / to filter names, aliases and descriptions
• Direct connection from the shell — mn co <name|alias> [user] and mn co -l, with completion of handles and users
• Configurable repositories root — asked at install, changed from mn config, removed on uninstall
• Safer data files — records are matched literally, written atomically, kept at mode 600 and sorted on their logical key
• Module hooks in the menu engine — a module can prepare its rows, draw its own header and footer, handle its keys and receive its CLI arguments
• Delete defaults to confirm — and a cancellation is now reported instead of silently returning
• No TUI without a terminal — mn explains itself instead of drawing into a pipe
• Documentation — the connexions format, the repositories root and the engine hooks are documented
• New CDN address — install and update commands now point at dropr.sylvain.sh

1.1.2

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Function scripts fall back to ~/.local/bin — when /usr/local/bin is not writable, scripts are created in the user directory instead of failing silently
• sudo only for legacy root-owned scripts — editing goes through sudoedit (GUI editors get --wait automatically), deletion through sudo rm, with a clear error when it fails
• Rollback on failed script creation — the entry is removed and no false success is shown, no more ghost functions in the list
• Duplicate names refused when adding an entry — applies to all modules (connections, repos, aliases, functions)
• PATH warning — a notice is shown when the scripts directory is not on your PATH
• Ctrl-C at the sudo password prompt no longer closes the TUI

1.1.1

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Add mn plugin update — refresh an installed plugin's mn.sh in place, no remove-then-reinstall needed
• Flexible update source — pull the new version from the CDN by default, or from a URL or local file
• Shell completion for update — bash and zsh suggest installed plugins and file paths

1.1.0

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Installer rewritten with interactive TUI — language and editor selected with arrow-key pickers
• Local repo detection in install.sh — copies files from local repo instead of downloading from CDN when run directly from the source directory
• Install log saved to /tmp/ with ANSI escape codes stripped for readability
• New checkbox_select UI component — navigate with arrows, toggle items with space or enter, confirm via dedicated button at the bottom
• Uninstaller (delete.sh) rewritten with checkbox menu — selectively remove Core, Config, Data, or Plugins instead of all-or-nothing
• Config → Uninstall uses the same checkbox menu — consistent UX inside and outside the TUI
• sudo hint on permission denied — when /usr/local/bin/mn cannot be removed, the exact sudo rm command is shown instead of a silent failure

1.0.9

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Add plugin manager — mn plugin list, install, remove, info
• Plugins loaded and validated at startup — plugins with missing binaries are silently skipped
• Add plugin developer guide in PLUGINS.md

1.0.8

Medium release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Add bash and zsh shell completions for the mn command
• Modules and plugins discovered dynamically via their CLI_ARGS metadata
• mn plugin subcommands completed — list, install, remove, info
• mn plugin remove <TAB> lists installed plugin names
• mn update installs completions to the appropriate system or user directory
• mn uninstall removes completions from all possible locations

1.0.7

Major release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Modules self-register with TYPE, MENU_LABEL and PRIORITY metadata properties
• Main menu built dynamically from registered modules sorted by priority
• CLI routing unified via _route_module — mn docs and mn config no longer hardcoded
• Add _sort_modules_by_priority and _route_module to lib/module.sh
• Footer detection simplified using mod_prop TYPE instead of looping ALL_MODULES

1.0.6

Medium release for mn — personal dynamic terminal manual.

Changes

• Fix SSH connection to exec directly without bash wrapper and sleep
• Add configurable CDN source via mn config → [C] and MN_CDN variable
• Switch to manifest-based updates — mn update downloads files from a manifest instead of a hardcoded list
• Add distribution manifest listing all distributable files
