Any suggestions, bug reports, or donations :-) should be sent to me.
3.04 2021-07-14
- Fixed test script to fail if the test directory not writable.
Alexandr Ciornii on GitHub (Pull request #2)
- Fixed a bug where environment variables weren't getting properly
quoted, so special characters were causing problems. RT 133107
and Github #3.
3.03 2019-08-19
- Fixed problem with output=quiet mode=script
- Fixed a bug where the per-command dire option wasn't working
- Lots more tests.
3.02 2018-11-08
- Fixed one more test that failed. RT 127604
3.01 2018-11-08
- Fixed two tests that failed everywhere. RT 127596
3.00 2018-11-07
- Significant rewrite including several backward incompatible
changes.
o The return value of the run method (in run and script modes)
is strictly a scalar. The return value in script-mode is now
an error code instead of the output.
o Similarly, the return values of the ssh method are now hashes
for all modes.
o Removed the 'dire' option from the flush method. Added the
'out' option.
o Error codes cleaned up. The commands are now numbered from
1-N instead of 2-(N+1). Some special error codes are now
formalized and documented.
o Scripts are ALWAYS stored in a temporary script file
o Removed the 'f-output' global option
o Removed the 'flow' global option (deprecated in 2.10)
- Complete rework of how output is handled in 'script' mode
The output is no longer returned when running in script mode
o Added the output method
o Added the per-command label option.
o Removed the f-output per-command option.
- Many improvements to the generated scripts
2.13 2017-02-10
- Got rid of global data (stuck it in the object) to avoid problems
when calling multiple times.
2.12 2016-08-22
- Improved test scripts, and added a number of new tests.
- Getting `pwd` in a directory with soft links was failing. RT 117096
2.11 2016-07-05
- Fixed a packaging problem (a .swp file got included)
- Added support for while/done, until/done, and for/done flow structures.
2.10 2016-07-01
- Fixed bug where the generated list of commands would not return you to
the original directory.
- Fixed a bug in env command which wasn't returning the documented values.
- Revamped how scripts are generated (scripts are a bit simpler and have
the potential to better support flow commands).
- Fixed a bug where flow commands weren't handled correctly with
failure=display.
- Deprecated the command option 'flow'. It is determined by parsing the
command instead. The option 'flow' is allowed, but totally ignored and will
be removed at some point in the future.
- Currently only support if/elif/else/fi flow structure, but more will be
added in the future.
2.03 2015-12-08

2.02 2014-05-22

2.01 2014-04-03

- Fixed a bug where the dire option was getting lowercased
- Some simple fixes to avoid a warning and unwanted blank lines

changes.

changed 'failure' option slightly (no longer refers to 'simple' option)
- Output of running in script mode changed (in a backward incompatible way)

1.12 2013-12-06
