Xonsh Change Log

Current Developments

Added:

  • !(command) is now usefully iterable, yielding lines of stdout
  • Added XonshCalledProcessError, which includes the relevant CompletedCommand. Also handles differences between Py3.4 and 3.5 in CalledProcessError
  • XonshError and XonshCalledProcessError are now in builtins
  • New Block and Functor context managers are now available as part of the xonsh.contexts module.
  • Block provides support for turning a context body into a non-executing list of string lines. This is implmement via a syntax tree transformation. This is useful for creating remote execution tools that seek to prevent local execution.
  • Functor is a subclass of the Block context manager that turns the block into a callable object. The function object is available via the func() attribute. However, the Functor instance is itself callable and will dispatch to func().
  • Arguments '+' and '-' for the fg command (job control)
  • Provide $XONSH_SOURCE for scripts in the environment variables pointing to the currently running script's path
  • !(command) is now usefully iterable, yielding lines of stdout
  • Added XonshCalledProcessError, which includes the relevant CompletedCommand. Also handles differences between Py3.4 and 3.5 in CalledProcessError

Changed:

  • Functions in Execer now take transform kwarg instead of wrap_subproc.
  • Provide $XONSH_SOURCE for scripts in the environment variables pointing to the currently running script's path
  • XonshError and XonshCalledProcessError are now in builtins

Deprecated: None

Removed: None

Fixed:

  • Strip leading space in commands passed using the "-c" switch
  • Fixed xonfig wizard failing on Windows due to colon in created filename.
  • Ensured that the prompt_toolkit shell functions, even without a completer attribute.
  • Fixed crash resulting from malformed $PROMPT or $TITLE.

Security: None

v0.3.4

Changed:

  • $PROMPT from foreign shells is now ignored.
  • $RC_FILES environment variable now stores the run control files we attempted to load.
  • Only show the prompt for the wizard if we did not attempt to load any run control files (as opposed to if none were successfully loaded).

Fixed:

  • Fixed an issue whereby attempting to delete a literal value (e.g., del 7) in the prompt_toolkit shell would cause xonsh to crash.
  • Fixed broken behavior when using cd .. to move into a nonexistent directory.
  • Partial workaround for Cygwin where pthread_sigmask appears to be missing from the signal module.
  • Fixed crash resulting from malformed $PROMPT.
  • Fixed regression on Windows with the locate_binary() function. The bug prevented source-cmd from working correctly and broke the activate/deactivate aliases for the conda environements.
  • Fixed crash resulting from errors other than syntax errors in run control file.
  • xonsh no longer backgrounds itself after every command on Cygwin.

v0.3.3

Added:

  • Question mark literals, ?, are now allowed as part of subprocess argument names.
  • IPython style visual pointer to show where syntax error was detected
  • Pretty printing of output and syntax highlighting of input and output can now be controlled via new environment variables $COLOR_INPUT, $COLOR_RESULTS, and $PRETTY_PRINT_RESULTS.

Changed:

  • which now gives a better verbose report of where the executables are found.
  • Tab completion now uses a different interface, which allows new completers to be implemented in Python.
  • Most functions in the Execer now take an extra argument transform, indicating whether the syntax tree transformations should be applied.
  • prompt_toolkit is now loaded lazily, decreasing load times when using the readline shell.
  • RC files are now executed directly in the appropriate context.
  • _ is now updated by ![], to contain the appropriate CompletedCommand object.
  • On Windows if bash is not on the path look in the registry for the defaults install directory for GitForWindows.

Removed:

  • Fixed bug on Windows where which did not include current directory

Fixed:

  • Fixed crashed bash-completer when bash is not avaiable on Windows
  • Fixed bug on Windows where tab-completion for executables would return all files.
  • Fixed bug on Windows which caused the bash $PROMPT variable to be used when no no $PROMPT variable was set in .xonshrc
  • Improved start-up times by caching information about bash completion functions
  • The --shell-type CLI flag now takes precedence over $SHELL_TYPE specified in .xonshrc
  • Fixed an issue about os.killpg() on OS X which caused xonsh crash with occasionality

v0.3.2

Fixed:

  • Fixed PermissionError when tab completions tries to lookup executables in directories without read permissions.
  • Fixed incorrect parsing of command line flags

v0.3.1

Added:

  • When a subprocess exits with a signal (e.g. SIGSEGV), a message is printed, similar to Bash.
  • Added comma literals to subproc mode.
  • @$(cmd) has been added as a subprocess-mode operator, which replaces in the subprocess command itself with the result of running cmd.
  • New showcmd alias for displaying how xonsh interprets subprocess mode commands and arguments.
  • Added $DYNAMIC_CWD_WIDTH to allow the adjusting of the current working directory width in the prompt.
  • Added $XONSH_DEBUG environment variable to help with debuging.
  • The ${...} shortcut for __xonsh_env__ now returns appropriate completion options

Changed:

  • On Windows the default bash completions files $BASH_COMPLETIONS now points to the default location of the completions files used by 'Git for Windows'
  • On Cygwin, some tweaks are applied to foreign shell subprocess calls and the readline import, in order to avoid hangs on launch.

Removed:

  • Special cased code for handling version of prompt_toolkit < v1.0.0

Fixed:

  • Show sorted bash completions suggestions.
  • Fix bash completions (e.g git etc.) on windows when completions files have spaces in their path names
  • Fixed a bug preventing source-bash from working on Windows
  • Numerous improvements to job control via a nearly-complete rewrite.
  • Addressed issue with finding the next break in subproc mode in context sensitive parsing.
  • Fixed issue with loading readline init files (inputrc) that seems to be triggered by libedit.
  • $MULTILINE_PROMPT now allows colors, as originally intended.
  • Rectified install issue with Jupyter hook when installing with pyenv, Jupyter install hook now repects --prefix argument.
  • Fixed issue with the xonsh.ply subpackage not being installed.
  • Fixed a parsing bug whereby a trailing & on a line was being ignored (processes were unable to be started in the background)

v0.3.0

Added:

  • and, or, &&, || have been added as subprocess logical operators, by popular demand!
  • Subprocesses may be negated with not and grouped together with parentheses.
  • New framework for writing xonsh extentions, called xontribs.
  • Added a new shell type 'none', used to avoid importing readline or prompt_toolkit when running scripts or running a single command.
  • New: sudo functionality on Windows through an alias
  • Automatically enhance colors for readability in the default terminal (cmd.exe) on Windows. This functionality can be enabled/disabled with the $INTENSIFY_COLORS_ON_WIN environment variable.
  • Added Ellipsis lookup to __xonsh_env__ to allow environment variable checks, e.g. 'HOME' in ${...}
  • Added an option to update os.environ every time the xonsh environment changes. This is disabled by default but can be enabled by setting $UPDATE_OS_ENVIRON to True.
  • Added Windows 'cmd.exe' as a foreign shell. This gives xonsh the ability to source Windows Batch files (.bat and .cmd). Calling source-cmd script.bat or the alias source-bat script.bat will call the bat file and changes to the environment variables will be reflected in xonsh.
  • Added an alias for the conda environment activate/deactivate batch scripts when running the Anaconda python distribution on Windows.
  • Added a menu entry to launch xonsh when installing xonsh from a conda package
  • Added a new which alias that supports both regular which and also searches through xonsh aliases. A pure python implementation of which is used. Thanks to Trent Mick. https://github.com/trentm/which/
  • Added support for prompt toolkit v1.0.0.
  • Added $XONSH_CACHE_SCRIPTS and $XONSH_CACHE_EVERYTHING environment variables to control caching of scripts and interactive commands. These can also be controlled by command line options --no-script-cache and --cache-everything when starting xonsh.
  • Added a workaround to allow ctrl-c to interrupt reverse incremental search in the readline shell

Changed:

  • Running scripts through xonsh (or running a single command with -c) no longer runs the user's rc file, unless the --login option is specified. Also avoids loading aliases and environments from foreign shells, as well as loading bash completions.
  • rc files are now compiled and cached, to avoid re-parsing when they haven't changed. Scripts are also compiled and cached, and there is the option to cache interactive commands.
  • Left and Right arrows in the prompt_toolkit shell now wrap in multiline environments
  • Regexpath matching with backticks, now returns an empty list in python mode.
  • Pygments added as a dependency for the conda package
  • Foreign shells now allow for setting exit-on-error commands before and after all other commands via the seterrprevcmd and seterrpostcmd arguments. Sensinble defaults are provided for existing shells.
  • PLY is no longer a external dependency but is bundled in xonsh/ply. Xonsh can therefore run without any external dependencies, although having prompt-toolkit recommended.
  • Provide better user feedback when running which in a platform that doesn't provide it (e.g. Windows).
  • The lexer now uses a custom tokenizer that handles regex globs in the proper way.

Fixed:

  • Fixed bug with loading prompt-toolkit shell < v0.57.
  • Fixed bug with prompt-toolkit completion when the cursor is not at the end of the line.
  • Aliases will now evaluate enviornment variables and other expansions at execution time rather than passing through a literal string.
  • Fixed environment variables from os.environ not beeing loaded when a running a script
  • The readline shell will now load the inputrc files.
  • Fixed bug that prevented source-alias from working.
  • Now able to ^C the xonfig wizard on start up.
  • Fixed deadlock on Windows when runing subprocess that generates enough output to fill the OS pipe buffer.
  • Sourcing foreign shells will now return a non-zero exit code if the source operation failed for some reason.
  • Fixed PermissionError when running commands in directories without read permissions
  • Prevent Windows fixups from overriding environment vars in static config
  • Fixed Optional Github project status to reflect added/removed files via git_dirty_working_directory()
  • Fixed xonsh.exe launcher on Windows, when Python install directory has a space in it
  • Fixed $CDPATH to support ~ and environments variables in its items

v0.2.7

Added:

  • Added new valid $SHELL_TYPE called 'best'. This selects the best value for the concrete shell type based on the availability on the user's machine.
  • New environment variable $XONSH_COLOR_STYLE will set the color mapping for all of xonsh.
  • New XonshStyle pygments style will determine the approriate color mapping based on $XONSH_COLOR_STYLE. The associated xonsh_style_proxy() is intended for wrapping XonshStyle when actually being used by pygments.
  • The functions print_color() and format_color() found in xonsh.tools dispatch to the approriate shell color handling and may be used from anywhere.
  • xonsh.tools.HAVE_PYGMENTS flag now denotes if pygments is installed and available on the users system.
  • The ansi_colors module is now availble for handling ANSI color codes.
  • ? and ?? operator output now has colored titles, like in IPython.
  • ?? will syntax highlight source code if pygments is available.
  • Python mode output is now syntax highlighted if pygments is available.
  • New $RIGHT_PROMPT environment variable for displaying right-aligned text in prompt-toolkit shell.
  • Added !(...) operator, which returns an object representing the result of running a command. The truth value of this object is True if the return code is equal to zero and False otherwise.
  • Optional dependency on the win_unicode_console package to enable unicode support in cmd.exe on Windows. This can be disabled/enabled with the $WIN_UNICODE_CONSOLE environment variable.

Changed:

  • Updated $SHELL_TYPE default to 'best'.
  • Shell classes are now responsible for implementing their own color formatting and printing.
  • Prompt coloring, history diffing, and tracing uses new color handling capabilities.
  • New Token.Color token for xonsh color names, e.g. we now use Token.Color.RED rather than Token.RED.
  • Untracked files in git are ignored when determining if a git workdir is is dirty. This affects the coloring of the branch label.
  • Regular expression globbing now uses re.fullmatch instead of re.match, and the result of an empty regex glob does not cause the argument to be deleted.

Removed:

  • The xonsh.tools.TERM_COLORS mapping has been axed, along with all references to it. This may cause a problem if you were using a raw color code in your xonshrc file from $FORMATTER_DICT. To fix, simply remove these references.

Fixed:

  • Multidimensional slicing, as in numpy, no longer throws SyntaxErrors.
  • Some minor zsh fixes for more platforms and setups.
  • The BaseShell.settitle method no longer has its commands captured by $(...)

v0.2.6

Added:

  • trace alias added that enables users to turn on and off the printing of source code lines prior to their execution. This is useful for debugging scripts.
  • New ability to force callable alias functions to be run in the foreground, i.e. the main thread from which the function was called. This is useful for debuggers and profilers which may require such access. Use the xonsh.proc.foreground decorator on an alias function to flag it. ForegroundProcProxy and SimpleForegroundProcProxy classes have been added to support this feature. Normally, forcing a foreground alias is not needed.
  • Added boolean $RAISE_SUBPROC_ERROR environment variable. If true and a subprocess command exits with a non-zero return code, a CalledProcessError will be raised. This is useful in scripts that should fail at the first error.
  • If the setproctitle package is installed, the process title will be set to 'xonsh' rather than the path to the Python interpreter.
  • zsh foreign shell interface now supported natively in xonsh, like with Bash. New source-zsh alias allows easy access to zsh scripts and functions.
  • Vox virtual environment manager added.

Changed:

  • The foreign_shell_data() keyword arguments envcmd and aliascmd now default to None.
  • Updated alias docs to pull in usage from the commands automatically.

Fixed:

  • Hundreds of bugs related to line and column numbers have been addressed.
  • Fixed path completion not working for absolute paths or for expanded paths on Windows.
  • Fixed issue with hg dirty branches and $PATH.
  • Fixed issues related to foreign shell data in files with whitespace in the names.
  • Worked around bug in ConEmu/cmder which prevented get_git_branch() from working in these terminal emulators on Windows.

v0.2.5

Added:

  • New configuration utility 'xonfig' which reports current system setup information and creates config files through an interactive wizard.
  • Toolkit for creating wizards now available
  • timeit and which aliases will now complete their arguments.
  • $COMPLETIONS_MENU_ROWS environment variable controls the size of the tab-completion menu in prompt-toolkit.
  • Prompt-toolkit shell now supports true multiline input with the ability to scroll up and down in the prompt.

Changed:

  • The xonfig wizard will run on interactive startup if no configuration file is found.
  • BaseShell now has a singleline() method for prompting a single input.
  • Environment variable docs are now auto-generated.
  • Prompt-toolkit shell will now dynamically allocate space for the tab-completion menu.
  • Looking up nonexistent environment variables now generates an error in Python mode, but produces a sane default value in subprocess mode.
  • Environments are now considered to contain all manually-adjusted keys, and also all keys with an associated default value.

Removed:

  • Removed xonsh.ptk.shortcuts.Prompter.create_prompt_layout() and xonsh.ptk.shortcuts.Prompter.create_prompt_application() methods to reduce portion of xonsh that forks prompt-toolkit. This may require users to upgrade to prompt-toolkit v0.57+.

Fixed:

  • First prompt in the prompt-toolkit shell now allows for up and down arrows to search through history.
  • Made obtaining the prompt-toolkit buffer thread-safe.
  • Now always set non-detypable environment variables when sourcing foreign shells.
  • Fixed issue with job management if a TTY existed but was not controlled by the process, posix only.
  • Jupyter kernel no longer times out when using foreign shells on startup.
  • Capturing redirections, e.g. $(echo hello > f.txt), no longer fails with a decoding error.
  • Evaluation in a Jupyter cell will return pformatted object.
  • Jupyter with redirect uncaptured subprocs to notebook.
  • Tab completion in Jupyter fixed.
