This release introduces a strict mode for variables, new builtin, performance improvements, and better error messages; plus a potential breaking change
There are a number of new features in this release
a et al) no longer returns an error if the
start and end ranges are the same. Instead it returns an array of 1
value.set -u in
Bash). This will mean any variables passed that haven’t been initialized
beforehand will cause that pipeline to fail. Currently this is opt in, a
future release of Murex will flip that and make it opt out. So take this
opportunity to enable it in your ~/.murex_profile and test
your scripts. Enable this via config:
config: set proc strict-vars trueThis feature was requested in issue #380.
datetime. This builtin allows you to
convert date and/or time strings of one format into strings of another
format. datetime is a supercharged alternative to the UNIX
command date aimed at making scripting easier.a et al) now supports dates. eg
[01-Jan-20..05-May-21]. If no start nor end date appears
then mkarray assumes range starts or ends at current date.openagent profile for image data types
has been improved. Murex now better supports tmux and iTerm2.runtime --config now displays FileRef
for every set as well as define, named
FileRefSet and FileRefDefine respectively. So
you can now easily trace where global config is being set and
defined.config. eg:
config: set shell prompt {
out "{RESET}{YELLOW}${pwd_short} {RESET}» "
}
config: set shell prompt-multiline {
let len = ${pwd_short -> wc -c} - 1
printf "%${$len}s » " $linenum
}readline now caches syntax highlighting and hint
text to improve the responsiveness of the interactive terminal. This is
set to a hard limit of 200 cached items however that will be a
configurable metric in a future release. Also planned for the future is
caching autocompletion suggestions.fid-list and jobs where
they were outputting the p.Name struct rather than
p.Name.String(). This lead to the process name appearing
garbled under some circumstances.{BG-BLUE} emitted the wrong ANSI escape code, this
has been corrected.readline bug fixes.Published: 09.12.2021 at 08:00
