CHANGELOG
=========
3.0.29: 2022-04-04
------------------
New features:
- Accept 'handle_sigint' parameter in PromptSession.
Fixes
- Fix 'variable referenced before assignment' error in vt100 mouse bindings.
- Pass `handle_sigint` from `Application.run` to `Application.run_async`.
- Fix detection of telnet client side changes.
- Fix `print_container` utility (handle `EOFError`).
Breaking changes:
- The following are now context managers:
`create_pipe_input`, `PosixPipeInput` and `Win32PipeInput`.
3.0.28: 2022-02-11
------------------
New features:
- Support format specifiers for HTML and ANSI formatted text.
- Accept defaults for checkbox and radio list, and their corresponding dialogs.
Fixes:
- Fix resetting of cursor shape after the application terminates.
3.0.27: 2022-02-07
------------------
New features:
- Support for cursor shapes. The cursor shape for prompts/applications can now
be configured, either as a fixed cursor shape, or in case of Vi input mode,
according to the current input mode.
- Handle "cursor forward" command in ANSI formatted text. This makes it
possible to render many kinds of generated ANSI art.
- Accept `align` attribute in `Label` widget.
- Added `PlainTextOutput`: an output implementation that doesn't render any
ANSI escape sequences. This will be used by default when redirecting stdout
to a file.
- Added `create_app_session_from_tty`: a context manager that enforces
input/output to go to the current TTY, even if stdin/stdout are attached to
pipes.
- Added `to_plain_text` utility for converting formatted text into plain text.
Fixes:
- Don't automatically use `sys.stderr` for output when `sys.stdout` is not a
TTY, but `sys.stderr` is. The previous behavior was confusing, especially
when rendering formatted text to the output, and we expect it to follow
redirection.
3.0.26: 2022-01-27
------------------
Fixes:
- Fixes issue introduced in 3.0.25: Don't handle SIGINT on Windows.
3.0.25: 2022-01-27
------------------
Fixes:
- Use `DummyOutput` when `sys.stdout` is `None` and `DummyInput` when
`sys.stdin` is `None`. This fixes an issue when the code runs on windows,
using pythonw.exe and still tries to interact with the terminal.
- Correctly reset `Application._is_running` flag in case of exceptions in some
situations.
- Handle SIGINT (when sent from another process) and allow binding it to a key
binding. For prompt sessions, the behavior is now identical to pressing
control-c.
- Increase the event loop `slow_duration_callback` by default to 0.5. This
prevents printing warnings if rendering takes too long on slow systems.
3.0.24: 2021-12-09
------------------
Fixes:
- Prevent window content overflowing when using scrollbars.
- Handle `PermissionError` when trying to attach /dev/null in vt100 input.
3.0.23: 2021-11-26
------------------
Fixes:
- Fix multiline bracketed paste on Windows
New features:
- Add support for some CSI 27 modified variants of "Enter" for xterm in the
vt100 input parser.
3.0.22: 2021-11-04
------------------
Fixes:
- Fix stopping of telnet server (capture cancellation exception).
3.0.21: 2021-10-21
------------------
New features:
- Improved mouse support:
* Support for click-drag, which is useful for selecting text.
* Detect mouse movements when no button is pressed.
- Support for Python 3.10.
3.0.20: 2021-08-20
------------------
New features:
- Add support for strikethrough text attributes.
- Set up custom breakpointhook while an application is running (if no other
breakpointhook was installed). This enhances the usage of PDB for debugging
applications.
- Strict type checking is now enabled.
Fixes:
- Ensure that `print_formatted_text` is always printed above the running
application, like `patch_stdout`. (Before, `patch_stdout` was even completely
ignored in case of `print_formatted_text, so there was no proper way to use
it in a running application.)
- Fix handling of non-bmp unicode input on Windows.
- Set minimum Python version to 3.6.2 (Some 3.6.2 features were used).
3.0.19: 2021-06-17
------------------
Fixes:
- Make the flush method of the vt100 output implementation re-entrant (fixes an
issue when using aiogevent).
- Fix off-by-one in `FormattedTextControl` mouse logic.
- Run `print_container` always in a thread (avoid interfering with possible
event loop).
- Make sphinx autodoc generation platform agnostic (don't import Windows stuff
when generating Sphinx docs).
3.0.18: 2021-03-22
------------------
New features:
- Added `in_thread` parameter to `Application.run`.
This is useful for running an application in a background thread, while the
main thread blocks. This way, we are sure not to interfere with an event loop
in the current thread. (This simplifies some code in ptpython and fixes an
issue regarding leaking file descriptors due to not closing the event loop
that was created in this background thread.)
3.0.17: 2021-03-11
------------------
New features:
- Accept `style` parameter in `print_container` utility.
- On Windows, handle Control-Delete.
Fixes:
- Avoid leaking file descriptors in SSH server.
3.0.16: 2021-02-11
------------------
New features:
- Added `ScrollablePane`: a scrollable layout container.
This allows applications to build a layout, larger than the terminal, with a
vertical scroll bar. The vertical scrolling will be done automatically when
certain widgets receive the focus.
- Added `DeduplicateCompleter and `ConditionalCompleter`.
- Added `deduplicate` argument to `merge_completers`.
3.0.15: 2021-02-10
------------------
Fixes:
- Set stdout blocking when writing in vt100 output. Fixes an issue when uvloop
is used and big amounts of text are written.
- Guarantee height of at least 1 for both labels and text areas.
- In the `Window` rendering, take `dont_extend_width`/`dont_extend_height` into
account. This fixes issues where one window is enlarged unexpectedly because
it's bundled with another window in a `HSplit`/`VSplit`, but with different
width/height.
- Don't handle `SIGWINCH` in progress bar anymore. (The UI runs in another
thread, and we have terminal size polling now).
- Fix several thread safety issues and a race condition in the progress bar.
- Fix thread safety issues in `Application.invalidate()`. (Fixes a
`RuntimeError` in some situations when using progress bars.)
- Fix handling of mouse events on Windows if we have a Windows 10 console with
ANSI support.
- Disable `QUICK_EDIT_MODE` on Windows 10 when mouse support is requested.
3.0.14: 2021-01-24
------------------
New features:
- Disable bell when `PROMPT_TOOLKIT_BELL=false` environment variable has been
set.
Fixes:
- Improve cancellation of history loading.
3.0.13: 2021-01-21
------------------
Fixes:
- Again, fixed the race condition in `ThreadedHistory`. Previous fix was not
correct.
3.0.12: 2021-01-21
------------------
Fixes:
- Fixed a race condition in `ThreadedHistory` that happens when continuously
pasting input text (which would continously repopulate the history).
- Move cursor key mode resetting (for vt100 terminals) to the renderer. (Mostly
cleanup).
3.0.11: 2021-01-20
------------------
New features:
- Poll terminal size: better handle resize events when the application runs in
a thread other than the main thread (where handling SIGWINCH doesn't work) or
in the Windows console.
Fixes:
- Fix bug in system toolbar. The execution of system commands was broken.
- A refactoring of patch_stdout that includes several fixes.
* We know look at the `AppSession` in order to see which application is
running, rather then looking at the event loop which is installed when
`StdoutProxy` is created. This way, `patch_stdout` will work when
prompt_toolkit applications with a different event loop run.
* Fix printing when no application/event loop is running.
* Fixed the `raw` argument of `PatchStdout`.
- A refactoring of the `ThreadedHistory`, which includes several fixes, in
particular a race condition (see issue #1158) that happened when editing
input while a big history was still being loaded in the background.
3.0.10: 2021-01-08
------------------
New features:
- Improved `WordCompleter`: accept `display_dict`. Also accept formatted text
for both `display_dict` and `meta_dict`.
- Allow customization of button arrows.
Fixes:
- Correctly recognize backtab on Windows.
- Show original display text in fuzzy completer if no filtering was done.
3.0.9: 2021-01-05
-----------------
New features:
- Handle c-tab for TERM=linux.
Fixes:
- Improve rendering speed of `print_formatted_text`. (Don't render styling
attributes to output between fragments that have identical styling.)
- Gracefully handle `FileHistory` decoding errors.
- Prevent asyncio deprecation warnings.
3.0.8: 2020-10-12
-----------------
New features:
- Added `validator` parameter to `input_dialog`.
Fixes:
- Cope with stdout not having a working `fileno`.
- Handle situation when /dev/null is piped into stdin, or when stdin is closed
somehow.
- Fix for telnet/ssh server: `isatty` method was not implemented.
- Display correct error when a tuple is passed into `to_formatted_text`.
- Pass along WORD parameter in `Document._is_word_before_cursor_complete`.
Fixes some key bindings.
- Expose `ProgressBarCounter` in shortcuts module.
3.0.7: 2020-08-29
-----------------
New features:
- New "placeholder" parameter added to `PromptSession`.
Other changes:
- The "respond to CPR" logic has been moved from the `Input` to `Output`
classes (this does clean up some code).
Fixes:
- Bugfix in shift-selection key bindings.
- Fix hight calculation of `FormattedTextControl` when line wrapping is turned
on.
- Fixes for SSH server:
* Missing encoding property.
* Fix failure in "set_line_mode" call.
* Handle `BrokenPipeError`.
3.0.6: 2020-08-10
-----------------
New features:
- The SSH/Telnet adaptors have been refactored and improved in several ways.
See issues #876 and PR #1150 and #1184 on GitHub.
* Handle terminal types for both telnet and SSH sessions.
* Added pipe input abstraction. (base class for `PosixPipeInput` and
`Win32PipeInput`).
* The color depth logic has been refactored and moved to the `Output`
implementations. Added `get_default_color_depth` method to `Output`
objects.
* All line feets are now preceded by a carriage return in the telnet
connection stdout.
- Introduce `REPLACE_SINGLE` input mode for Vi key bindings.
- Improvements to the checkbox implementation:
* Hide the scrollbar for a single checkbox.
* Added a "checked" setter to the checkbox.
- Expose `KeyPressEvent` in key_binding/__init__.py (often used in type
annotations).
- The renderer has been optimized so that no trailing spaces are generated
(this improves copying in some terminals).
Fixes:
- Ignore F21..F24 key bindings by default.
- Fix auto_suggest key bindings when suggestion text is empty.
- Bugfix in SIGWINCH handling.
- Handle bug in HSplit/VSplit when the number of children is zero.
- Bugfix in CPR handling in renderer. Proper cancellation of pending tasks.
- Ensure rprompt aligns with input.
- Use `sys.stdin.encoding` for decoding stdin stream.
3.0.5: 2020-03-26
-----------------
Fixes:
- Bugfix in mouse handling on Windows.
3.0.4: 2020-03-06
-----------------
New features:
- Added many more vt100 ANSI sequences and keys.
- Improved control/shift key support in Windows.
- No Mypy errors in prompt_toolkit anymore.
- Added `set_exception_handler` optional argument to `PromptSession.prompt()`.
Fixes:
- Bugfix in invalidate code. `PromptSession` was invalidating the UI
continuously.
- Add uvloop support (was broken due to an issue in our `call_soon_threadsafe`).
- Forwarded `set_exception_handler` in `Application.run` to the `run_async` call.
- Bugfix in `NestedCompleter` when there is a leading space.
Breaking changes:
- `ShiftControl` has been replaced with `ControlShift` and `s-c` with `c-s` in
key bindings. Aliases for backwards-compatibility have been added.
3.0.3: 2020-01-26
-----------------
New features:
- Improved support for "dumb" terminals.
- Added support for new keys (vt100 ANSI sequences): Alt +
home/end/page-up/page-down/insert.
- Better performance for the "regular languages compiler". Generate fewer and
better regular expressions. This should improve the start-up time for
applications using this feature.
- Better detection of default color depth.
- Improved the progress bar:
* Set "time left" to 0 when done or stopped.
* Added `ProgressBarCounter.stopped`.
- Accept callables for `scroll_offset`, `min_brightness` and `max_brightness`.
- Added `always_prefer_tty` parameters to `create_input()` and `create_output()`.
- Create a new event loop in `Application.run()` if `get_event_loop()` raises
`Runtimeerror`.
Fixes:
- Correct cancellation of flush timers for input. (Fixes resource leak where
too many useless coroutines were created.)
- Improved the Win32 input event loop. This fixes a bug where the
prompt_toolkit application is stopped by something other than user input. (In
that case, the application would hang, waiting for input.) This also fixes a
`RuntimeError` in the progress bar code.
- Fixed `line-number.current` style. (was `current-line-number`.)
- Handle situation where stdout is no longer a tty (fix bug in `get_size`).
- Fix parsing of true color in ANSI strings.
- Ignore `invalidate()` if the application is not running.
3.0.2: 2019-11-30
-----------------
Fixes:
- Bugfix in the UI invalidation. Fixes an issue when the application runs again
on another event loop.
See: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/11973
3.0.1: 2019-11-28
-----------------
New features:
- Added `new_eventloop_with_inputhook` function.
- Set exception handler from within `Application.run_async`.
- Applied Black code style.
Fixes:
- No longer expect a working event loop in the `History` classes.
(Fix for special situations when a `ThreadedHistory` is created before the
event loop has been set up.)
- Accept an empty prompt continuation.
- A few fixes to the `Buffer` tempfile code.
3.0.0: 2019-11-24
-----------------
New features:
- (almost) 100% type annotated.
- Native asyncio instead of custom event loops.
- Added shift-based text selection (use shift+arrows to start selecting text).
Breaking changes:
- Python 2 support has been dropped. Minimal Python version is now 3.6,
although 3.7 is preferred (because of ContextVars).
- Native asyncio, so some async code becomes slightly different.
- The active `Application` became a contextvar. Which means that it should be
propagated correctly to the code that requires it. However, random other
threads or coroutines won't be able to know what the current application is.
- The dialog shortcuts API changed. All dialog functions now return an
`Application`. You still have to call either `run()` or `run_async` on the
`Application` object.
- The way inputhooks work is changed.
- `patch_stdout` now requires an `Application` as input.
2.0.9: 2019-02-19
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Fixed `Application.run_system_command` on Windows.
- Fixed bug in ANSI text formatting: correctly handle 256/true color sequences.
- Fixed bug in WordCompleter. Provide completions when there's a space before
the cursor.
2.0.8: 2019-01-27
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Fixes the issue where changes made to the buffer in the accept handler were
not reflected in the history.
- Fix in the application invalidate handler. This prevents a significat slow
down in some applications after some time (especially if there is a refresh
interval).
- Make `print_container` utility work if the input is not a pty.
New features:
- Underline non breaking spaces instead of rendering as '&'.
- Added mouse support for radio list.
- Support completion styles for `READLINE_LIKE` display method.
- Accept formatted text in the display text of completions.
- Added a `FuzzyCompleter` and `FuzzyWordCompleter`.
- Improved error handling in Application (avoid displaying a meaningless
AssertionError in many cases).
2.0.7: 2018-10-30
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Fixed assertion in PromptSession: the style_transformation check was wrong.
- Removed 'default' attribute in PromptSession. Only ask for it in the
`prompt()` method. This fixes the issue that passing `default` once, will
store it for all consequent calls in the `PromptSession`.
- Ensure that `__pt_formatted_text__` always returns a `FormattedText`
instance. This fixes an issue with `print_formatted_text`.
New features:
- Improved handling of situations where stdin or stdout are not a terminal.
(Print warning instead of failing with an assertion.)
- Added `print_container` utility.
- Sound bell when attempting to edit read-only buffer.
- Handle page-down and page-up keys in RadioList.
- Accept any `collections.abc.Sequence` for HSplit/VSplit children (instead of
lists only).
- Improved Vi key bindings: return to navigation mode when Insert is pressed.
2.0.6: 2018-10-12
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Don't use the predefined ANSI colors for colors that are defined as RGB.
(Terminals can assign different color schemes for ansi colors, and we don't
want use any of those for colors that are defined like #aabbcc for instance.)
- Fix in handling of CPRs when patch_stdout is used.
Backwards incompatible changes:
- Change to the `Buffer` class. Reset the buffer unless the `accept_handler`
returns `True` (which means: "keep_text"). This doesn't affect applications
that use `PromptSession`.
New features:
- Added `AdjustBrightnessStyleTransformation`. This is a simple style
transformation that improves the rendering on terminals with light or dark
background.
- Improved performance (string width caching and line height calculation).
- Improved `TextArea`:
* Exposed `focus_on_click`.
* Added attributes: `auto_suggest`, `complete_while_typing`, `history`,
`get_line_prefix`, `input_processors`.
* Made attributes writable: `lexer`, `completer`, `complete_while_typing`,
`accept_handler`, `read_only`, `wrap_lines`.
2.0.5: 2018-09-30
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Fix in `DynamicContainer`. Return correct result for `get_children`. This
fixes a bug related to focusing.
- Properly compute length of `start`, `end` and `sym_b` characters of
progress bar.
- CPR (cursor position request) fix.
Backwards incompatible changes:
- Stop restoring `PromptSession` attributes when exiting prompt.
New features:
- Added `get_line_prefix` attribute to window. This opens many
possibilities:
* Line wrapping (soft and hard) can insert whitespace in front
of the line, or insert some symbols in front. Like the Vim "breakindent"
option.
* Single line prompts also support line continuations now.
* Line continuations can have a variable width.
- For VI mode: implemented temporary normal mode (control-O in insert mode).
- Added style transformations API. Useful for swapping between light and
dark color schemes. Added `swap_light_and_dark_colors` parameter to
`prompt()` function.
- Added `format()` method to ANSI formatted text.
- Set cursor position for Button widgets.
- Added `pre_run` argument to `PromptSession.prompt()` method.
2.0.4: 2018-07-22
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Fix render height for rendering full screen applications in Windows.
- Fix in `TextArea`. Set `accept_handler` to `None` if not given.
- Go to the beginning of the next line when enter is pressed in Vi navigation
mode, and the buffer doesn't have an accept handler.
- Fix the `default` argument of the `prompt` function when called multiple
times.
- Display decomposed multiwidth characters correctly.
- Accept `history` in `prompt()` function again.
Backwards incompatible changes:
- Renamed `PipeInput` to `PosixPipeInput`. Added `Win32PipeInput` and
`create_input_pipe`.
- Pass `buffer` argument to the `accept_handler` of `TextArea`.
New features:
- Added `accept_default` argument to `prompt()`.
- Make it easier to change the body/title of a Frame/Dialog.
- Added `DynamicContainer`.
- Added `merge_completers` for merging multiple completers together.
- Add vt100 data to key presses in Windows.
- Handle left/right key bindings in Vi block insert mode.
2.0.3: 2018-06-08
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Fix in 'x' and 'X' Vi key bindings. Correctly handle line endings and args.
- Fixed off by one error in Vi line selection.
- Fixed bugs in Vi block selection. Correctly handle lines that the selection
doesn't cross.
- Python 2 bugfix. Handle str/unicode correctly.
- Handle option+left/right in iTerm.
2.0.2: 2018-06-03
-----------------
Bug fixes:
- Python 3.7 support: correctly handle StopIteration in asynchronous generator.
- Fixed off-by-one bug in Vi visual block mode.
- Bugfix in TabsProcessor: handle situations when the cursor is at the end of
the line.
2.0.1: 2018-06-02
-----------------
Version 2.0 includes a big refactoring of the internal architecture. This
includes the merge of the CommandLineInterface and the Application object, a
rewrite of how user controls are focused, a rewrite of how event loops work
and the removal of the buffers dictionary. This introduces many backwards
incompatible changes, but the result is a very nice and powerful architecture.
Most architectural changes effect full screen applications. For applications
that use `prompt_toolkit.shortcuts` for simple prompts, there are fewer
incompatibilities.
Changes:
- No automatic translation from \r into \n during the input processing. These
are two different keys that can be handled independently. This is a big
backward-incompatibility, because the `Enter` key is `ControlM`, not
`ControlJ`. So, now that we stopped translating \r into \n, it could be that
custom key bindings for `Enter` don't work anymore. Make sure to bind
`Keys.Enter` instead of `Keys.ControlJ` for handling the `Enter` key.
- The `CommandLineInterface` and the `Application` classes are merged. First,
`CommandLineInterface` contained all the I/O objects (like the input, output
and event loop), while the `Application` contained everything else. There was
no practical reason to keep this separation. (`CommandLineInterface` was
mostly a proxy to `Application`.)
A consequence is that almost all code which used to receive a
`CommandLineInterface`, will now use an `Application`. Usually, where we
had an attribute `cli`, we'll now have an attribute `app`.
Secondly, the `Application` object is no longer passed around. The `get_app`
function can be used at any time to acquire the active application.
(For backwards-compatibility, we have aliases to the old names, whenever
possible.)
- prompt_toolkit no longer depends on Pygments, but it can still use Pygments
for its color schemes and lexers. In many places we used Pygments "Tokens",
this has been replaced by the concept of class names, somewhat similar to
HTML and CSS.
* `PygmentsStyle` and `PygmentsLexer` adaptors are available for
plugging in Pygments styles and lexers.
* Wherever we had a list of `(Token, text)` tuples, we now have lists of
`(style_string, text)` tuples. The style string can contain both inline
styling as well as refer to a class from the style sheet. `PygmentsTokens`
is an adaptor that converts a list of Pygments tokens into a list of
`(style_string, text)` tuples.
- Changes in the `Style` classes.
* `style.from_dict` does not exist anymore. Instantiate the ``Style`` class
directory to create a new style. ``Style.from_dict`` can be used to create
a style from a dictionary, where the dictionary keys are a space separated
list of class names, and the values, style strings (like before).
* `print_tokens` was renamed to `print_formatted_text`.
* In many places in the layout, we accept a parameter named `style`. All the
styles from the layout hierarchy are combined to decide what style to be
used.
* The ANSI color names were confusing and inconsistent with common naming
conventions. This has been fixed, but aliases for the original names were
kept.
- The way focusing works is different. Before it was always a `Buffer` that
was focused, and because of that, any visible `BufferControl` that contained
this `Buffer` would be focused. Now, any user control can be focused. All
of this is handled in the `Application.layout` object.
- The `buffers` dictionary (`CommandLineInterface.buffers`) does not exist
anymore. Further, `buffers` was a `BufferMapping` that keeps track of which
buffer has the focus. This significantly reduces the freedom for creating
complex applications. We wanted to move toward a layout that can be defined
as a (hierarchical) collection of user widgets. A user widget does not need
to have a `Buffer` underneath and any widget should be focusable.
* `layout.Layout` was introduced to contain the root layout widget and keep
track of the focus.
- The key bindings were refactored. It became much more flexible to combine
sets of key bindings.
* `Registry` has been renamed to `KeyBindings`.
* The `add_binding` function has been renamed to simply `add`.
* Every `load_*` function returns one `KeyBindings` objects, instead of
populating an existing one, like before.
* `ConditionalKeyBindings` was added. This can be used to enable/disable
all the key bindings from a given `Registry`.
* A function named `merge_key_bindings` was added. This takes a list of
`KeyBindings` and merges them into one.
* `key_binding.defaults.load_key_bindings` was added to load all the key
bindings.
* `KeyBindingManager` has been removed completely.
* `input_processor` was renamed to `key_processor`.
Further:
* The `Key` class does not exist anymore. Every key is a string and it's
considered fine to use string literals in the key bindings. This is more
readable, but we still have run-time validation. The `Keys` enum still
exist (for backwards-compatibility, but also to have an overview of which
keys are supported.)
* 'enter' and 'tab' are key aliases for 'c-m' and 'c-i'.
- User controls can define key bindings, which are active when the user control
is focused.
* `UIControl` got a `get_key_bindings` (abstract) method.
- Changes in the layout engine:
* `LayoutDimension` was renamed to `Dimension`.
* `VSplit` and `HSplit` now take a `padding` argument.
* `VSplit` and `HSplit` now take an `align` argument.
(TOP/CENTER/BOTTOM/JUSTIFY) or (LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT/JUSTIFY).
* `Float` now takes `allow_cover_cursor` and `attach_to_window` arguments.
* `Window` got an `WindowAlign` argument. This can be used for the alignment
of the content. `TokenListControl` (renamed to `FormattedTextControl`) does
not have an alignment argument anymore.
* All container objects, like `Window`, got a `style` argument. The style for
parent containers propagate to child containers, but can be overriden.
This is in particular useful for setting a background color.
* `FillControl` does not exist anymore. Use the `style` and `char` arguments
of the `Window` class instead.
* `DummyControl` was added.
* The continuation function of `PromptMargin` now takes `line_number` and
`is_soft_wrap` as input.
- Changes to `BufferControl`:
* The `InputProcessor` class has been refactored. The `apply_transformation`
method should now takes a `TransformationInput` object as input.
* The text `(reverse-i-search)` is now displayed through a processor. (See
the `shortcuts` module for an example of its usage.)
- `widgets` and `dialogs` modules:
* A small collection of widgets was added. These are more complex collections
of user controls that are ready to embed in a layout. A `shortcuts.dialogs`
module was added as a high level API for displaying input, confirmation and
message dialogs.
* Every class that exposes a ``__pt_container__`` method (which is supposed
to return a ``Container`` instance) is considered a widget. The
``to_container`` shortcut will call this method in situations where a
``Container`` object is expected. This avoids inheritance from other
``Container`` types, but also having to unpack the container object from
the widget, in case we would have used composition.
* Warning: The API of the widgets module is not considered stable yet, and
can change is the future, if needed.
- Changes to `Buffer`:
* A `Buffer` no longer takes an `accept_action`. Both `AcceptAction` and
`AbortAction` have been removed. Instead it takes an `accept_handler`.
- Changes regarding auto completion:
* The left and right arrows now work in the multi-column auto completion
menu.
* By default, autocompletion is synchronous. The completer needs to be
wrapped in `ThreadedCompleter` in order to get asynchronous autocompletion.
* When the completer runs in a background thread, completions will be
displayed as soon as they are generated. This means that we don't have to
wait for all the completions to be generated, before displaying the first
one. The completion menus are updated as soon as new completions arrive.
- Changes regarding input validation:
* Added the `Validator.from_callable` class method for easy creation of
new validators.
- Changes regarding the `History` classes:
* The `History` base class has a different interface. This was needed for
asynchronous loading of the history. `ThreadedHistory` was added for this.
- Changes related to `shortcuts.prompt`:
* There is now a class `PromptSession` which also has a method `prompt`. Both
the class and the method take about the same arguments. This can be used to
create a session. Every `prompt` call of the same instance will reuse all
the arguments given to the class itself.
The input history is always shared during the entire session.
Of course, it's still possible to call the global `prompt` function. This
will create a new `PromptSession` every time when it's called.
* The `prompt` function now takes a `key_bindings` argument instead of
`key_bindings_registry`. This should only contain the additional bindings.
(The default bindings are always included.)
- Changes to the event loops:
* The event loop API is now closer to how asyncio works. A prompt_toolkit
`Application` now has a `Future` object. Calling the `.run_async()` method
creates and returns that `Future`. An event loop has a `run_until_complete`
method that takes a future and runs the event loop until the Future is set.
The idea is to be able to transition easily to asyncio when Python 2
support can be dropped in the future.
* `Application` still has a method `run()` that underneath still runs the
event loop until the `Future` is set and returns that result.
* The asyncio adaptors (like the asyncio event loop integration) now require
Python 3.5. (We use the async/await syntax internally.)
* The `Input` and `Output` classes have some changes. (Not really important.)
* `Application.run_sub_applications` has been removed. The alternative is to
call `run_coroutine_in_terminal` which returns a `Future`.
- Changes to the `filters` module:
* The `Application` is no longer passed around, so both `CLIFilter` and
`SimpleFilter` were merged into `Filter`. `to_cli_filter` and
`to_simple_filter` became `to_filter`.
* All filters have been turned into functions. For instance, `IsDone`
became `is_done` and `HasCompletions` became `has_completions`.
This was done because almost all classes were called without any arguments
in the `__init__` causing additional braces everywhere. This means that
`HasCompletions()` has to be replaced by `has_completions` (without
parenthesis).
The few filters that took arguments as input, became functions, but still
have to be called with the given arguments.
For new filters, it is recommended to use the `@Condition` decorator,
rather then inheriting from `Filter`.
- Other renames:
* `IncrementalSearchDirection` was renamed to `SearchDirection`.
* The `use_alternate_screen` parameter has been renamed to `full_screen`.
* `Buffer.initial_document` was renamed to `Buffer.document`.
* `TokenListControl` has been renamed to `FormattedTextControl`.
* `Application.set_return_value` has been renamed to `Application.set_result`.
- Other new features:
* `DummyAutoSuggest` and `DynamicAutoSuggest` were added.
* `DummyClipboard` and `DynamicClipboard` were added.
* `DummyCompleter` and `DynamicCompleter` were added.
* `DummyHistory` and `DynamicHistory` was added.
* `to_container` and `to_window` utilities were added.
1.0.9: 2016-11-07
-----------------
Fixes:
- Fixed a bug in the `cooked_mode` context manager. This caused a bug in
ptpython where executing `input()` would display ^M instead of accepting the
input.
- Handle race condition in eventloop/posix.py
- Updated ANSI color names for vt100. (High and low intensity colors were
swapped.)
New features:
- Added yank-nth-arg and yank-last-arg readline commands + Emacs bindings.
- Allow searching in Vi selection mode.
- Made text objects of the Vi 'n' and 'N' search bindings. This adds for
instance the following bindings: cn, cN, dn, dN, yn, yN
1.0.8: 2016-10-16
-----------------
Fixes:
- In 'shortcuts': complete_while_typing was a SimpleFilter, not a CLIFilter.
- Always reset color attributes after rendering.
- Handle bug in Windows when '$TERM' is not defined.
- Ignore errors when calling tcgetattr/tcsetattr.
(This handles the "Inappropriate ioctl for device" crash in some scenarios.)
- Fix for Windows. Correctly recognize all Chinese and Lithuanian characters.
New features:
- Added shift+left/up/down/right keys.
- Small performance optimization in the renderer.
- Small optimization in the posix event loop. Don't call time.time() if we
don't have an inputhook. (Less syscalls.)
- Turned the _max_postpone_until argument of call_from_executor into a float.
(As returned by `time.time`.) This will do less system calls. It's
backwards-incompatible, but this is still a private API, used only by pymux.)
- Added Shift-I/A commands in Vi block selection mode for inserting text at the
beginning of each line of the block.
- Refactoring of the 'selectors' module for the posix event loop. (Reuse the
same selector object in one loop, don't recreate it for each select.)
1.0.7: 2016-08-21
-----------------
Fixes:
- Bugfix in completion. When calculating the common completion to be inserted,
the new completions were calculated wrong.
- On Windows, avoid extra vertical scrolling if the cursor is already on screen.
New features:
- Support negative arguments for next/previous word ending/beginning.
1.0.6: 2016-08-15
-----------------
Fixes:
- Go to the start of the line in Vi navigation mode, when 'j' or 'k' have been
pressed to navigate to a new history entry.
- Don't crash when pasting text that contains \r\n characters. (This could
happen in iTerm2.)
- Python 2.6 compatibility fix.
- Allow pressing <esc> before each -ve argument.
- Better support for conversion from #ffffff values to ANSI colors in
Vt100_Output.
* Prefer colors with some saturation, instead of gray colors, if the given
color was not gray.
* Prefer a different foreground and background color if they were
originally not the same. (This avoids concealing text.)
New features:
- Improved ANSI color support.
* If the $PROMPT_TOOLKIT_ANSI_COLORS_ONLY environment variable has been
set, use the 16 ANSI colors only.
* Take an `ansi_colors_only` parameter in `Vt100_Output` and
`shortcuts.create_output`.
1.0.5: 2016-08-04
-----------------
Fixes:
- Critical fix for running on Windows. The gevent work-around in the inputhook
caused 'An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket'.
1.0.4: 2016-08-03
-----------------
Fixes:
- Key binding fixes:
* Improved handling of repeat arguments in Emacs mode. Pressing sequences
like 'esc---123' do now work (like GNU Readline):
- repetition of the minus sign is ignored.
- No esc prefix is required for each digit.
* Fix in ControlX-ControlX binding.
* Fix in bracketed paste.
* Pressing Control-U at the start of the line now deletes the newline.
* Pressing Control-K at the end of the line, deletes the newline after
the cursor.
* Support negative argument for Control-K
* Fixed cash when left/right were pressed with a negative argument. (In
Emacs mode.)
* Fix in ControlUp/ControlDown key bindings.
* Distinguish backspace from Control-H. They are not the same.
* Delete in front of the cursor when a negative argument has been given
to backspace.
* Handle arrow keys correctly in emacs-term.
- Performance optimizations:
