  • v1.10.0 Changes

    January 26, 2019

    🆕 New API features

    The API now enables:

    • 📜 parsing a command line string into watchexec Args
    • writing one's own handler to react to changes
    • a lot more errors to be caught instead of panicking

    This also has creates two minor breaking changes:

    • Args's paths field is now a Vec<PathBuf> rather than a Vec<String>
    • cli::get_args() returns a Result rather than nothing

    This was done in #105, prompted by #104 and #103.

    ⚡️ Clap update

    This formalises the fix to #76.

    👌 Support commands that allocate their own TTY

    Through setsid, thanks to @Mange (#102).

    🛠 Fixes #47 and some other issues downstream.

    🏁 An attempt to fix some issues clearing screens under some Windows configurations

    These are hard to guess at / repro. Maybe it helped #99.

    ⬆️ Dependency upgrades

    • 🐎 Notify 4.0.7 brings in some fixes, notably a performance/battery-saving optimisation on Linux.
    • 🐎 Regex 1.1.0 brings in some performance improvements for (git)ignore patterns

    Some progress towards manual restarts

    As part of the API changes, file-triggered runs and manual runs are now explicitly differentiated, which will help when eventually implementing #67.

  • v1.9.2 Changes

    September 09, 2018

    My bad. My changes related to whitespace handling completely broke several use cases, e.g.:

    • watchexec -- 'echo foo; echo bar'

    👀 See discussion on #82.

    🚀 This release reverts (comments out) those parts, but keeps everything else.

  • v1.9.1 Changes

    September 09, 2018
    • #74 — Watchexec no longer panics on missing folders — patch1, 2
    • #95 — Fix issues with whitespace in commands — patch2
    • 🐧 #96 — Add install instructions for Arch Linux — docs
    • 🚀 Create a Debian package on release — releng
    • ➕ Add install instructions for Debian — docs

    📜 1: Other changes were added following this to convert more panics into normal errors: some glob parsing errors, and file watcher initialisation errors.

    📌 2: These changes also cause a breaking changes to the library interface, but this is not considered in the version numbers (i.e. if you use it, pin it). From cursory investigation only cargo-watch is a consumer and changes there in consequence are coordinated.
