A brand new entry in the AOs 2 series with a all new command-line experience.

Today, I am excited to announce the release of AOs 2.5! A brand new entry in the AOs 2 series designed two-fold: to be more efficient and powerful, and to be a powerful Developer Tool Built for Developers by a Developer.

Usage

  1. Developer commands:
    The all new developer command is designed to help developers develop their apps.

    AOs 2023 [Version 2.5]  (User)
$ dev help
Type `help <command-name>` for more information on a specific command
1. new                                                         Create a new project
2. -t, tasks                                                   List or run custom task in the developer environment
3. clean                                                       Delete temporary/unnecessary files created in the project
4. -v, ver, version                                            Show the current build number of the project

  2. Encrypt or Decrypt any text:
    Now I introduce a new command, the filer command. Designed to encrypt or decrypt text using a very powerful custom text encryption and decryption algorithm with the help of the Absolute Number Disorder (AND) random number generator. I build Filer back in 2021, and was planned to be a part of AOs 1.7 but unfortunately it couldn't be. However, from AOs 2.5, Filer is officially integrated into the powerful environment of AOs.

    Filer could be found on github

$ help filer
Name:
filer                                                       A powerful text encryption and decryption program.

Details:
filer [OPTIONS]

Maximum arguments: ∞
Minimum arguments: 0

Options:
-h, --help                                                  Show help message
-s                                                          A random seed in the range (0, 1) that acts like a password
-o                                                          Place the output into <file>

-f                                                          Takes a text file as an input
-e                                                          Encrypt the message
-d                                                          Decrypt the message

  3. Control host system volume:
    AOs had the volume command as an experimental command (previously known as overload command) since AOs 2.3.8. However, now in AOs 2.5, the vol command is officially becoming a mainstream command of AOs, in other words, the volume command is no more an experimental command.

    This command is used to control the volume of the host operating system volume through the command-line of AOs. It gives you the ability to mute/unmute your operating system volume, as well as, it allows you to dynamically control the volume of your system by increasing or decreasing the volume by the given levels. Also it allows you to set the volume to a specific level.

    AOs 2023 [Version 2.5]  (User)
$ help vol
Name:
vol, volume                                                 Control the host operating system volume

Details:
vol, volume [OPTIONS]

Maximum arguments: 2
Minimum arguments: 2

Options:
-m                                                          Mute/Unmute host operating system volume
-i                                                          Increase/Decrease the volume by then given value

$ vol -m # Mute the host operating system volume
$ vol -m # Unmute the host operating system volume
$ vol -i -20 # Decrease the host operating system volume by 20 levels
$ vol # When no argument is passed, then print the current host operating system volume
80
$ vol -i 20 # Increase the host operating system volume by 20 levels
$ vol
100
$ vol 10 # Set the host operating system volume to 10
$ vol
9.999999
$ vol 100 # Set the host operating system volume to 100
$ vol
100

  4. Run multiple commands in a single line:
    Save your valuable time by using semicolon ; execute multiple AOs commands in a single file. This will automatically execute those commands without you waiting for the first one to finish then execute the second manually one-by-one. AOs follows the same multi-line execution conventions as in C#.

    AOs 2023 [Version 2.5]  (User)
$ sfc /scannow; DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  5. Execute a command direcly from the command-line:
    Now apart from executing an AOs outside of AOs from the command-line, you can also execute any AOs command directly from the command-line. He following shows you how to do that.

    $ AOs --help
Name:
AOs

Description:
A Developer Command-line Tool Built for Developers by a Developer.

Usage:
AOs [OPTIONS]

Options:
-h, --help: Display all supported arguments (is flag: true)
-a, --admin: Run as administrator (is flag: true)
-c, --cmd: Program passed in as string
$ AOs --cmd "shout Hello world!"
Hello world!

  6. Overload Experimental commands:
    Let's see what features are new and what features are removed from the Overload (now Experimental) commands feature.

    AOs 2023 [Version 2.5]  (User)
$ @
Type `help <command-name>` for more information on a specific command
1. itsmagic                                                    It's magic, it's magic.
2. switch                                                      Switch between applications using the App IDs
3. studybyte                                                   Starts Studybyte
+ 4. cpix                                                        Starts Cpix
- 5. deeplock    -> Locks windows itself
- 6. deepscan    -> Scans the host operating system
- 7. todo        -> Create and manages a todo list
- 8. vol         -> Set the system master volume to a specific level
- 10. cosine     -> Calculate the cosine similarity between two sentences

    From AOs 2.5 and onwards, deeplock, deepscan and vol are not experimental but mainstream commands. Therefore, to use these commands you don't need to type @deeplock, @deepscan or @vol, these commands can be used without the @ prefix.
