0.19.4

Changed:

• Updated bash_completion.py from archived xonsh/py-bash-completion repo. The last update fixes empty completion list issue.

Authors:

• Gil Forsyth
• anki-code

0.19.3

Changed:

• On Windows, cmd.exe-based aliases now resolve to %SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe by default (and fallback to COMSPEC only if the former cannot be found).

Fixed:

• Using trace on with .xsh scripts could previously lead to
  a spurious ignored exception showing up on stderr. This is now fixed.
• pipelines: fixed 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'pid' exception (#5794).

Security:

• The history delete action on the sqlite backend used to
  pass matched history lines to a SQL statement without sanitization.
  This could lead to unexpected SQL being run on the history database.
  This is now fixed. Security risk: low.

0.19.2

Added:

• env: add $XONSH_PROMPT_CURSOR_SHAPE for configuring prompt cursor shape.
• env: Added $XONSH_CONFIG_DIR, $XONSH_DATA_DIR and $XONSH_CACHE_DIR.
• SIGHUP will now be forwarded to child processes when received by the main xonsh process.
  This matches the behavior of other shells e.g. bash.
• Documented the fact that the on_postcommand event only fires in interactive mode.
• history: Added and documented --session-id parameter for history pull command.
• history-json: Implemented history pull for JSON history backend.

Fixed:

• Running a subcommand in an event handler will no longer block xonsh from exiting.
• history: Prevented history pull command from adding consecutive duplicates to propmter history.
• prompt toolkit: Fixed autosuggest sometimes not updating when up-arrow is pressed (#5787).
• Subprocess-based completions like
  xontrib-fish-completer <https://github.com/xonsh/xontrib-fish-completer>_
  no longer append a space if the single available completion ends with
  a directory separator. This is consistent with the behavior of the
  default completer.

0.18.4

Changed:

• Now SystemExit that invoked from callable alias follows to exiting from callable alias instead of exiting the entire shell.

Fixed:

• Fixed $AUTO_CD regress after previous refactoring.
• Partial fix for "Bad file descriptor" in case of callable alias with execx invocation inside e.g. ExecAlias (#5645).

0.18.0 (deprecated)

⚠️ UPD: This release has an issue #5605. Please install xonsh 0.18.2.

Key points in this release from @anki-code:

• Completion of the "decorator alias" concept. See also xontrib-dalias.
• Performance improvements after introduction of new resolver for Linux and Mac. Testing Windows is in progress, waiting for reports.
• Refactoring of internal structure.

Added:

• Added @aliases.return_command decorator to eliminate the need to wrap the logic for modifying command into callable alias wrapper (#5473 by @anki-code).
• aliases: Added ability to set multiple decorator aliases e.g. j = $(@json @noerr echo '{}') (by @anki-code).
• Tutorial: added example of callable environment variable (by @anki-code).
• env: Added $XONSH_MODE variable to detect the current execution mode:
  interactive, script_from_file, source, single_command, script_from_stdin. (by @anki-code)
• Builtin: exit can return exit code e.g. exit 71. (by @anki-code)
• builtin: added __xonsh__.imp to have an ability to import and use modules immediately in one line
  e.g. __xonsh__.imp.json.loads('{}'). (by @anki-code)
  In the future __xonsh__ will have short notation @ and the line will looks more elegant @.imp.json.loads('{}').
• builtins: Added color to printx e.g. printx('Good', 'GREEN') as short alternative to printx('{GREEN}Good{RESET}'). (by @anki-code)
• Created xonsh.api to use xonsh functionality in pure python code and downstream projects (#5383 #5538).
  It's usable but don't treat this serios because it's mostly to move some functions into distinct
  submodule to reflect the intention to have the API. We need review and improvements here. (by @anki-code)
• tools: added mkdir to xonsh.tools.chdir e.g. with chdir('/tmp/new', mkdir=True): pass. (by @anki-code)

Changed:

• New executable resolving method was introduced and the commands_cache usages were replaced in the key places. As result we expect speed up in xonsh startup, reducing lagging during typing in prompt and speed ups during the commands execution (#5544 by @anki-code).
• COLOR_RESULTS switched to False for non-interactive command case to improve speed in default behavior (#5562).
• main: Importing sqlite became optional. (by @anki-code)
• prompt: Switching to prompt_toolkit in edge case of sending stdin to interactive mode (#5462 #5517 by @anki-code).
• Rename: SpecModifier, xthread, xunthread renamed to DecoratorAlias, @thread, @unthread to support idea that
  spec modifier is like a Python decorator. (by @anki-code)
• Big refactoring of internal modules structure to give clear understanding of internal xonsh components (#5538).
  E.g. if you have import xonsh.jobs convert this to import xonsh.procs.jobs.
  This kind of refactoring occurs once per many years. (by @anki-code)

Deprecated:

• Starting from this release we notify that in the future we will not recommend to use xonsh.procs.run_subproc
  and xonsh.built_ins.subproc_* functions for downstream projects because of #5383.
  We will develop xonsh.api as alternative.

Removed:

• xontrib: Do not autoload xontribs in xonsh --no-rc mode. (by @anki-code)

Fixed:

• Callable alias: fixed capturing stdout in case of redirect e.g. a > file (#5527 by @anki-code).
• Commands Cache: Fixed cache update logic that lead to lagging during typing. (by @anki-code)
• Replaced deprecated sys.last_type, sys.last_value, sys.last_traceback with sys.last_exc. (by @kulkarniniraj)
• Fixed history gc invocation failing when sqlite history backend is used. (by @jnoortheen)
