## [1.20.0] - 2017-08-10

### Fixed

* `HandleExitCoder` is now correctly iterates over all errors in
  a `MultiError`. The exit code is the exit code of the last error or `1` if
  there are no `ExitCoder`s in the `MultiError`.
* Fixed YAML file loading on Windows (previously would fail validate the file path)
* Subcommand `Usage`, `Description`, `ArgsUsage`, `OnUsageError` correctly
  propagated
* `ErrWriter` is now passed downwards through command structure to avoid the
  need to redefine it
* Pass `Command` context into `OnUsageError` rather than parent context so that
  all fields are available
* Errors occurring in `Before` funcs are no longer double printed
* Use `UsageText` in the help templates for commands and subcommands if
  defined; otherwise build the usage as before (was previously ignoring this
  field)
* `IsSet` and `GlobalIsSet` now correctly return whether a flag is set if
  a program calls `Set` or `GlobalSet` directly after flag parsing (would
  previously only return `true` if the flag was set during parsing)

### Changed

* No longer exit the program on command/subcommand error if the error raised is
  not an `OsExiter`. This exiting behavior was introduced in 1.19.0, but was
  determined to be a regression in functionality. See [the
  PR](https://github.com/urfave/cli/pull/595) for discussion.

### Added

* `CommandsByName` type was added to make it easy to sort `Command`s by name,
  alphabetically
* `altsrc` now handles loading of string and int arrays from TOML
* Support for definition of custom help templates for `App` via
  `CustomAppHelpTemplate`
* Support for arbitrary key/value fields on `App` to be used with
  `CustomAppHelpTemplate` via `ExtraInfo`
* `HelpFlag`, `VersionFlag`, and `BashCompletionFlag` changed to explicitly be
  `cli.Flag`s allowing for the use of custom flags satisfying the `cli.Flag`
  interface to be used.


## [1.19.1] - 2016-11-21

### Fixed

- Fixes regression introduced in 1.19.0 where using an `ActionFunc` as
  the `Action` for a command would cause it to error rather than calling the
  function. Should not have a affected declarative cases using `func(c
  *cli.Context) err)`.
- Shell completion now handles the case where the user specifies
  `--generate-bash-completion` immediately after a flag that takes an argument.
  Previously it call the application with `--generate-bash-completion` as the
  flag value.

## [1.19.0] - 2016-11-19
### Added
- `FlagsByName` was added to make it easy to sort flags (e.g. `sort.Sort(cli.FlagsByName(app.Flags))`)
- A `Description` field was added to `App` for a more detailed description of
  the application (similar to the existing `Description` field on `Command`)
- Flag type code generation via `go generate`
- Write to stderr and exit 1 if action returns non-nil error
- Added support for TOML to the `altsrc` loader
- `SkipArgReorder` was added to allow users to skip the argument reordering.
  This is useful if you want to consider all "flags" after an argument as
  arguments rather than flags (the default behavior of the stdlib `flag`
  library). This is backported functionality from the [removal of the flag
  reordering](https://github.com/urfave/cli/pull/398) in the unreleased version
  2
- For formatted errors (those implementing `ErrorFormatter`), the errors will
  be formatted during output. Compatible with `pkg/errors`.

### Changed
- Raise minimum tested/supported Go version to 1.2+

### Fixed
- Consider empty environment variables as set (previously environment variables
  with the equivalent of `""` would be skipped rather than their value used).
- Return an error if the value in a given environment variable cannot be parsed
  as the flag type. Previously these errors were silently swallowed.
- Print full error when an invalid flag is specified (which includes the invalid flag)
- `App.Writer` defaults to `stdout` when `nil`
- If no action is specified on a command or app, the help is now printed instead of `panic`ing
- `App.Metadata` is initialized automatically now (previously was `nil` unless initialized)
- Correctly show help message if `-h` is provided to a subcommand
- `context.(Global)IsSet` now respects environment variables. Previously it
  would return `false` if a flag was specified in the environment rather than
  as an argument
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user
- `altsrc`s import paths were updated to use `gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1`. This
  fixes issues that occurred when `gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1` was imported as well
  as `altsrc` where Go would complain that the types didn't match

## [1.18.1] - 2016-08-28
### Fixed
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user (backported)

## [1.18.0] - 2016-06-27
### Added
- `./runtests` test runner with coverage tracking by default
- testing on OS X
- testing on Windows
- `UintFlag`, `Uint64Flag`, and `Int64Flag` types and supporting code

### Changed
- Use spaces for alignment in help/usage output instead of tabs, making the
  output alignment consistent regardless of tab width

### Fixed
- Printing of command aliases in help text
- Printing of visible flags for both struct and struct pointer flags
- Display the `help` subcommand when using `CommandCategories`
- No longer swallows `panic`s that occur within the `Action`s themselves when
  detecting the signature of the `Action` field

## [1.17.1] - 2016-08-28
### Fixed
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user

## [1.17.0] - 2016-05-09
### Added
- Pluggable flag-level help text rendering via `cli.DefaultFlagStringFunc`
- `context.GlobalBoolT` was added as an analogue to `context.GlobalBool`
- Support for hiding commands by setting `Hidden: true` -- this will hide the
  commands in help output

### Changed
- `Float64Flag`, `IntFlag`, and `DurationFlag` default values are no longer
  quoted in help text output.
- All flag types now include `(default: {value})` strings following usage when a
  default value can be (reasonably) detected.
- `IntSliceFlag` and `StringSliceFlag` usage strings are now more consistent
  with non-slice flag types
- Apps now exit with a code of 3 if an unknown subcommand is specified
  (previously they printed "No help topic for...", but still exited 0. This
  makes it easier to script around apps built using `cli` since they can trust
  that a 0 exit code indicated a successful execution.
- cleanups based on [Go Report Card
  feedback](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/urfave/cli)

## [1.16.1] - 2016-08-28
### Fixed
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user

## [1.16.0] - 2016-05-02
### Added
- `Hidden` field on all flag struct types to omit from generated help text

### Changed
- `BashCompletionFlag` (`--enable-bash-completion`) is now omitted from
generated help text via the `Hidden` field

### Fixed
- handling of error values in `HandleAction` and `HandleExitCoder`

## [1.15.0] - 2016-04-30
### Added
- This file!
- Support for placeholders in flag usage strings
- `App.Metadata` map for arbitrary data/state management
- `Set` and `GlobalSet` methods on `*cli.Context` for altering values after
parsing.
- Support for nested lookup of dot-delimited keys in structures loaded from
YAML.

### Changed
- The `App.Action` and `Command.Action` now prefer a return signature of
`func(*cli.Context) error`, as defined by `cli.ActionFunc`.  If a non-nil
`error` is returned, there may be two outcomes:
    - If the error fulfills `cli.ExitCoder`, then `os.Exit` will be called
    automatically
    - Else the error is bubbled up and returned from `App.Run`
- Specifying an `Action` with the legacy return signature of
`func(*cli.Context)` will produce a deprecation message to stderr
- Specifying an `Action` that is not a `func` type will produce a non-zero exit
from `App.Run`
- Specifying an `Action` func that has an invalid (input) signature will
produce a non-zero exit from `App.Run`

### Deprecated
- 
`cli.App.RunAndExitOnError`, which should now be done by returning an error
that fulfills `cli.ExitCoder` to `cli.App.Run`.
-  the legacy signature for
`cli.App.Action` of `func(*cli.Context)`, which should now have a return
signature of `func(*cli.Context) error`, as defined by `cli.ActionFunc`.

### Fixed
- Added missing `*cli.Context.GlobalFloat64` method

## [1.14.0] - 2016-04-03 (backfilled 2016-04-25)

- Codebeat badge
- Support for categorization via `CategorizedHelp` and `Categories` on app.

### Changed

### Changed
- Use `path.Base` in `Name` and `HelpName`
- Export `GetName` on flag types.

### Fixed
- Flag parsing when skipping is enabled.
- Test output cleanup.
- Move completion check to account for empty input case.
