Thanks to Istvan Albert, it is now possible to use language keywords and builtins as option/flag names. Some broken links were fixed and the documentation has been moved to https://plac.readthedocs.io, while the CI framework has changed from Travis to GitHub actions.

Added dedenting of usage docstrings, as requested by Istvan Albert. Added new decorators plac.pos, plac.opt, plac.flg and an example using them in a section "For the impatient". Added tests on travis for Python 3.8.

Fixed some issues with kwargs parsing, docstring formatting and empty string defaults reported by the user https://github.com/isaacto. Changed the testing framework on travis from nosetest to pytest. Ported the documentation to sphinx.

Extended the recognition of default types to date and datetime in ISO format. Fixed a bug when running plac scripts from Jupyter notebooks, signaled by https://github.com/ursachi and https://github.com/rkpatel33. Moreover, at user request, removed a Python 3.7 deprecation warning, added a LICENSE.txt file and a Quickstart section to the README. plac is tested on Travis for Python 2.7 and 3.4+ but it should work also for all the other 3.X releases.

Stable release. There are no plans to change plac in the near future.

Solved an issue with non-ASCII characters; now any UTF-8 character can go in the help message. Added support for --version in plac.call. Modernized the changelog https://keepachangelog.com/

Removed a usage of print >> that was breaking Python 3, signaled by Quentin Pradet

Removed use_2to3 in setup.py which was breaking Python 2, signaled by Quentin Pradet

Fixed the tests on Python 3 and produced a universal wheel instead of relying on 2to3. Enabled Travis builds for Python 3.3, 3.4, 3.5

Moved the repository from GoogleCode to GitHub. Included the doc fixes by Nicola Larosa and polished the code base to be PEP 8 compliant. Enabled Travis builds for Python 2.6 and 2.7

Options and flags can now contain dashes (i.e. --dry-run is valid and translated into dry_run, you are not forced to use --dry-run anymore); restored the monitor support temporarily removed in 0.9.0, fixed an issue with tuple defaults and fixed the display of the help command; specified which features are experimental and which features are fully supported

Default values are now displayed in the help message by default; removed .help and introduced help; removed the special dotted commands from the usage message; added an Interpreter.Exit exception; removed the experimental monitor framework because it is too much platform-dependent; added a reference to Argh; now plac has its own space on Google Code

Removed a stray newline in the output of plac, as signaled by Daniele Pighin; fixed a bug in the doctest method raising non-existing exceptions; turned the notification messages into unicode strings; removed an ugly SystemExit message for invalid commands, signaled by Tuk Bredsdorff

Added a monitor framework and a TkMonitor

Fixed a bug with the help of subcommands, signaled by Paul Jacobson; added the ability to save the output of a command into a file; postponed the import of the readline module to avoid buffering issues; fixed a bug with the traceback when in multiprocessing mode

Fixed the plac_runner switches -i and -s; fixed a bug with multiline output and issue with nosetest

Put the documentation in a single document; added runp

Interpreter.call does not start an interpreter automagically anymore; better documented and added tests for the metavar concept (2010-08-31)

A few bug fixes

Improved and documented the support for parallel programming; added an asynchronous server; added plac.Interpreter.call

Fixed the history file location; added the ability to pass a split function; added two forgotten files; added a reference to cmd2 by Catherine Devlin

Improved the interactive experience with full readline support and custom help. Added support for long running command, via threads and processes

Gigantic release. Introduced smart options, added an Interpreter class and the command container concept. Made the split plac/plac_core/plac_ext and added a plac runner, able to run scripts, batch files and doctests. Removed the default formatter class

Fixed the installation procedure to automatically download argparse if needed

Added missing .help files, made the tests generative and added a note about Clap in the documentation

Changed the default formatter class and fixed a bug in the display of the default arguments. Added more stringent tests.

abbrev is now optional. Added a note about CLIArgs and opterate. Added keyword arguments recognition. plac.call now returns the the output of the main function.

First released version.
