Release 0.3.0

Changes

• New and simplified syntax (#36)
  • named expressions do not have an leading backslash except for \'; for example, \b becomes b
  • group expressions also do not have a leading backslash except for \() to disambiguate from prefixes
• Glitter now supports separators, a form of intelligent "whitespace" (#35)
• Add error messages for any parse errors (#36)
  • Error messages are descriptive and point directly to the source of the error:

This means that all existing users will need to re-write their formats; however, the error messages should be more helpful when doing so.

Release 0.2.2

Changelog:

• Properly report counts for renamed files when they are staged (#34)
• Add setup instructions for fish shell

0.2.1: Windows support!

Changelog:

• support color in windows (#33) and add documentation for powershell
• add documentation for zsh (#33)

0.2.0

0.2.0

Glitter now handles bash escapes properly with the -b command line option passed which finally fixes #10. This allows glitter formats to be on line line. This also brings along performance improvements in the interpreter along with the refactor.

Changelog

• Simpler, better main function (#26)
• Provide a more user friendly message on panic (#27)
• Properly escape ANSI codes for bash prompt (#10, #24, #28)
• Performance improvements in the interpreter (#28)

With this release, I'm happy to say that glitter is in a beta state! The main things left to tackle are the performance of all the git operations. This could be a major undertaking as writing tests and benchmarks that use git repositories seems difficult.

Glitter 0.1.3

Glitter 0.1.3 introduces features to simplify the prompt command.

Changes

• Allow backslashes in literals (#7)
• Add "else" format which serves as a fall-back when not in a git repository (#7)

Bugfixes

• Properly handle backslashes in branch names
