# Changelog
## 0.6.0 (2018-04-13)
### New features
* An array of functions can now be as the value of `converter` property,
so that multi-argumnet options can use different conversion rules
for different arguments (#14).
* Mutexes can now include positional arguments (#11).
* Added `hidden` property for arguments, options and commands,
removing them from the autogenerated usage and help strings.
* Added `:group(name, ...)` method to Parser and Command objects, allowing
custom grouping of arguments, options, and commands in autogenerated
help string.
* Added `help_vertical_space` property for configuring number of extra
newlines between help strings for different arguments and options in
autogenerated help string.
* Added `usage_margin` and `usage_max_width` properties for configuring
usage string autogeneration.
* Added `help_usage_margin` and `help_description_margin` properties
for configuring help string autogeneration.
* Added `help_max_width` property. If set, descriptions in help string
are automatically wrapped to fit into given number of columns.
* Argparse version is now available as `argparse.version`.
### Improvements
* `--` can now be used as a normal option name, with arguments
after `--` always passed to it verbatim (#17).
* When generating help messages for options with arguments and multiple
aliases, usage strings for different aliases are put on separate lines and
vertically aligned (#15).
## 0.5.0 (2015-12-09)
### New features
* Actions can now be used to implement custom processing logic.
* Added actions for arguments.
* Added string aliases for actions such as `store_false`.
* Command actions are now called after the parsing, with result target
as the argument.
* Added `command_target` property for storing name of used command.
### Improvements
* Improved error messages on missing arguments.
* `-f123` is now interpreted as `-f 123` when `-f` takes an optional argument.
## 0.4.1 (2015-08-08)
### Miscellaneous
* Added license header to `argparse.lua` for ease of bundling
and packaging (#3).
## 0.4.0 (2015-06-20)
### Breaking changes
* Removed `aliases` property, aliases can now be set using several space
separated strings as name, or, as it was possible before, by setting `name`
property several times.
### New features
* Added `handle_options` property (#2).
* Often used properties now can be passed as arguments when calling or
constructing an element.
### Improvements
* Cleaned up trailing whitespace in generated messages.
## 0.3.2 (2015-01-15)
### Miscellaneous
* Argparse no longer bundles 30log.
## 0.3.1 (2014-11-06)
### Fixes
* Fixed incompatibility with old Luarocks versions.
## 0.3.0 (2014-08-25)
### New features
* New `show_default` field disables automatic indication of default values in
help messages.
### Improvements
* In default targets `-` is now replaced with `_`.
* Changed usage message generation to show options taking variable number of
arguments after positional arguments.
### Fixes
* Fixed incompatibility with strict.lua and other checkers (#1).
## 0.2.0 (2014-03-09)
### New features
* Added mutually exclusive groups.
* Options and arguments can now be configured to use different argument
placeholders for first, second, etc. arguments. E.g. `--pair <key> <value>`.
### Fixes
* Fixed script name inference not working for `Parser:get_help()` and
`Parser:get_usage()` methods.
