Backup your database. The new version has a minor database update, and while it seems safe to me, I'd hate to be wrong.
The GUI client now works on Windows. Point it at a macOS or Linux server, via ssh or "hucksh forward" (about which see below).
It works with a Windows-native Unix socket (as created by "hucksh forward"), or a Cygwin emulated Unix socket (as created by Cygwin ssh). (The native Windows ssh clients don't do Unix socket forwarding at all.)
(I'm working on a server for Windows. It's surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) tricky.)
Forward a local Unix socket to a remote system via an internal ssh client. Mostly for Windows; other platforms don't need it. See "hucksh forward --help" for more.
Created github.com/huckridgesw/hucksh_public to host public discussions and user-entered bug reports.
I copied all my Notion pages to huckridge.com. See https://huckridge.com/hucksh/.
- Ctrl-Shift-Alt-N (open a new window) now works on Linux & Windows.
- If you pass an explicit empty string ("") as the --address, open the "choose a connection" dialog.
- In the "choose a connection" window, allow Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-W to close the window, as well as the Cmd/Ctrl-W that already worked. This makes that window more like the regular GUI shell window, which already supports Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-W to close the window.
- The server now deletes the Unix socket it was listening on when it exits.
- Listens for ^C/SIGINT and does a graceful shutdown. (If you tee the server output into a file, be sure to use "tee -i".)
- Duplicate the "-s" and "-d" options into the "root" hucksh command, so that you can "hucksh -s session_name" and it'll work like "hucksh gui -s session_name", or (for the server-only hucksh.server linux executable) you can run "hucksh -d database_name" and it'll work like "hucksh serve -d database_name".
- In the database, don't add the same command to a single tab multiple times (e.g. via "hucksh tab --add"). Clean it up via a database migration if it has happened already.
- Several data races fixed.
- Fixed a problem where if an internal channel could not be written to for too long, the app panicked. Now the write happens asynchronously, and forks to a goroutine if it takes too long. (And prints a full stack trace. Please send it to me if you encounter this problem. In my own usage, I've never yet had :t actually take "too long".)
- GUI: Fixed a deadlock during command output processing.
- "hucksh subscribe" prints blank lines correctly now.
- If you used the "running" function in huckshrc, and there was nothing actually running, fixed the server thinking it had hit a database error.
- Fix "remote" checking in huckshrc. If you have the client running in two places, then (from the point of view of the server) being "remote" can change from one command to the next. So check it each time, instead of setting it once when you run .huckshrc.
- Allow selecting command text after "zooming" a command.
- Fixed some display bugs.
- Fixed a panic when "removing" a tall command (one larger than the display window).
- Changed window title text from "HuckSh" to "Hucksh".
- Introduced a database migration tool internally.
- Tweaked the "choose a connection" window
- added a "choose a connection" label, an inset around the window edge, and a small space above the "Rescan" button.
- Removed the "$HOME/.hucksh.socket" prefix from the displayed list of connections, leaving just the hostnames.
- Once you've chosen a connection and the GUI is reading history, show current tab being loaded, total number of tabs, and the current count of commands loaded.
- Add "refresh-tab" to huckshrc
- Use a single DB connection for writing, and multiple connections for reading.
- Set the DB timeout to 5s.
- Change to using SQLite "WAL" (write ahead log) mode.
- At GUI startup, when reading history from the server, read it in larger chunks (instead of line by line). Makes loading history much faster.
- Linux GUI: Add a grey box around the edge of the window, so it doesn't blend in so well with other white windows. Windows and macOS do window shadows, so that's less of a problem on those platforms.
- On GUI startup, track completion of old commands better, so we don't start a goroutine per command to read "ongoing" output from commands that've already finished.
- GUI: In the command widget, only look for Cmd-Up/Down on macOS (that is, don't look for Ctrl-Up/Down on Windows & Linux). It turns out the editor widget sometimes (but not always!) uses Ctrl-Up/Down itself. Use Ctrl-P/N (Previous / Next) instead.
- Print errors returned from deeper in the app at the command line.
- Added a couple more functions to huckshrc. Added a lot more comments.
- Updated the help text on many subcommands.
- Removed several TLS-related command-line arguments that weren't supported.
- When adding a command to a tab (e.g. via "hucksh tab --add"), or replacing a command in a tab, if there's a database error, panic, so as not to leave the server, client, and user in an inconsistent state, where the user thinks a command has run and been added to the tab history, and it looks like it has been, but it really hasn't. See the comment on reset-tab-counts in huckshrc for more details. This will be fixed in a future release.
- Use "fyne" (https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/tree/master/cmd/fyne) to package Windows version (hucksh.exe), which embeds the hucksh icon in the .exe, which is nice. Uses a locally-modified version of fyne that does not use "-H windowsgui".
