Unreleased

v1.5.1 2024-02-24

Changed

  • Update dependencies

v1.5.0 2023-10-29

Added

  • alt scan can now locate binaries from homebrew when it's installed in /opt/homebrew. Thank you @Walrusse for #368.

v1.4.0 2023-05-31

Added

  • Add pre-built ARM binaries for Linux
  • Add pre-built ARM binaries for MacOS

v1.3.1 2023-01-08

Changed

  • Update rand_core@0.6.0 crate to 0.6.4. The previous version we were using has been yanked from crates.io.

v1.3.0 2023-01-08

Added

  • Add man pages. Users will now be able to run man alt as well as man alt-{subcommand} in order to get documentation alt and its subcommands.

Changed

  • Migrate to Rust 2021 Edition. This should have no effect on users but may affect people building from source.
  • Migrate to clap@v4. This changes the way the help text is rendered. In terms of behavior, nothing should change.
  • Change some of the errors management to use the anyhow crate. This should make the errors affected by this change clearer and give more context.
  • Rewrite how command versions are managed internally. This is a purely internal change and should not affect users in any way.

Fixed

  • Ensure alt def always stores the binary path it is given as an absolute path. This fixes an issue where alt would fail to run a command version if it was defined using a relative path. (#274)

v1.2.1 2022-06-24

Changed

  • Rename default branch from master to main. This should have no effect on users but may affect people building from source.

Fixed

  • Fixed typo in help text for the alt use command.

v1.2.0 - 2020-12-06

Added

  • Added alt doctor command that can find and detect certain common problems with alt and sometimes automatically fix them. This first version of alt doctor currently only knowns how to find and fix broken command version definitions.

Changed

  • Display relevant debugging information when alt fails to execute a command. This applies for both the alt exec command as well as executing commands through shims (the usual way of running commands through alt). This should help people figure out what's going on when alt fails. Note that previously alt only displayed the generic underlying error.

v1.1.1 - 2019-11-16

Added

  • Document how to pass flags parsed by alt exec to the executed command instead of alt exec itself. This was done directly in alt exec's help text.

Removed

  • Remove the --version & -V flags from all subcommands. This means that alt --version works just fine but alt scan --version does not. This was done because the --version flag on subcommands did not output anything useful.

Changed

  • Reduce final binary size by removing unused unicode regex features.
  • Update dependencies.

Fixed

  • Fix bug where alt scan would not find single letter commands with a version suffix. Example: a2, a-2, a2.2 a-2.2.

v1.1.0 - 2019-10-27

Added

  • alt scan now knows about LinuxBrew and can automatically find different version of commands installed through LinuxBrew.
  • Add install instructions for Mac OSX using the Homebrew package manager. (LinuxBrew also supported)
  • Add install instructions for DEB based linux systems.
  • Add install instructions using the pre-built .tar.gz release.
  • Add install from source instructions.
  • Document how to troubleshoot the warning emitted by alt when the shim directory is not present in the PATH environment variable.
  • Add Homebrew formula update to release instructions.

Changed

  • Update dependencies
  • Move the shims directory higher up in the PATH on fish by using fish_user_paths.
  • Expand documentation on alt in relation to git (and other VCS).
  • Update link to rust install instructions.
  • Update the shims dir not in PATH warning to include troubleshooting steps and to link to the troubleshooting documentation.

Removed

  • The gziped alt binary (alt_{...}.gz) is no longer packaged.
  • Remove support for the curl ... | bash -s install method.

Fixed

  • Fix crash when alt is run without the PATH environment variable set.
