No major -features are planned for these; only tweaks and fixes. - -Version 2.0 is much cooler, but I haven't had time to work on it. If -you send me email, I _will_ read it, but it may take me awhile to get to it, -and I may not answer. Please don't be offended. I really regret having -to release code that is such a mess. I should have wrote the code from -scratch, rather than built it upon the original BSD code (which is a mess -itself!). - -I apologize in advance for bugs I fixed in 2.0 but forgot to re-fix -in these interim releases (I think I got'em all, though). - -Here is a list of things that are in the 2.0 code but not this version: - -* Easy-to-read, better organized, commented code. -* Using my own "style guide," so source is coded uniformly. -* Unlimited global macros. These are really nice! They take arguments, - so you can make mini-scripts. The macros can be typed as if they - were commands; no more $macroname crap. -* No-longer using .netrc and it's format. This was necessary for the - global macros anyway, and it allowed me to add some other features, - like host aliases. Old .netrc's won't work. Sorry! -* Improved command line parser, that lets any command use > and |, so - it behaves like a real shell command line (almost). -* Improved 'redir' that works automatically, can reformat listings with - different ls flags, all without refetching it over the network. It - will also facilitate remote globbing... AND remote filename completion! -* Many little things I can't begin to list. - -Keep that in mind if you want to make a feature enhancement. I'm telling -you this now so you don't spend your time programming something that is -already done for the 2.0 release. Also note that patches would -have to be re-coded for 2.0. (The gist is that you should wait until -2.0 is done before doing anything major). |
