v1.6.0

🎉 First release since May 2022 thanks to AI! 🎉

Disruptive Changes:

• Slice flags no longer automatically parse slice values with commas into multiple values. To specify multiple values, use the flag multiple times. For example, this will produce one value: ./app -f one,two,three and ./ -f one -f two -f three will produce three values in the slice. #90

New Features:

• Adds built-in bash and zsh completion generators. Use completion zsh or completion bash on your app. This is on my default. To disable, use flaggy.DisableCompletion(). #1
• Flags can now be sorted alphabetically or reverse alphabetically using SortFlagsByLongName() and SortFlagsByLongNameReversed() #69
• Added a Github Action for test validation
• Added support for all types in the go standard library!
  • []net.IPMask
  • time.Time
  • url.URL
  • net.IPNet
  • net.TCPAddr
  • net.UDPAddr

  • big.Int
  • big.Rat
  • netip.Addr

  • netip.AddrPort
  • Base64Bytes ([]byte)

Fixes

• Fixed #84 - Unknown arguments supplied when the flag and subcommand have the same value name
