# Changelog

All notable changes to vecli will be documented here.

## [0.3.2] - 11/03/2026

### Added
- Added pages to [the user guide](https://razkar-studio.github.io/vecli).

---

## [0.3.1] - 11/03/2026

### Added
- Added pages to [the user guide](https://razkar-studio.github.io/vecli).

---

## [0.3.0] - 10/03/2026

### Added
- Subcommand chaining — commands can now nest arbitrarily deep (e.g. `app remote add`)
- `Command::parent()` constructor for grouping commands with no handler of their own
- `Command::subcommand()` builder method for attaching nested commands
- `Command::print_help_if_no_args()` builder method for parent commands
- `SUBCOMMANDS` section in command-level help output
- `dispatch()` internal helper in `utils.rs` — recursive dispatch through the command tree
- `prog` passed through dispatch for correct help output at any nesting depth

### Changed
- `Command::handler` is now `Option<fn(&CommandContext)>` — parent commands carry no handler
- `Command::new()` still sets a handler; use `Command::parent()` when no handler is needed
- `ctx.subcommand` is always the deepest matched command name, not the full path
- `ctx.positionals` contains only tokens after the deepest matched command
- `dispatch` moved to `utils.rs` and imported into `app.rs`, replacing the inline dispatch block in `run()`
- Positional collection in `dispatch` now correctly skips flag values (not just flag names)

### Fixed
- Alias resolution now runs at each level of the command tree, not only at the app level
- Parent commands with no handler and no `print_help_if_no_args` now print a clear error instead of silently returning

---

## [0.2.0] - 09/03/2026

### Added
- Global flags via `Flag::global()` — available to all commands automatically
- App-level main entry point via `.main()` for REPL-style usage
- `PassedFlags` type passed to the main entry handler
- Flags now listed in command-level help output
- App-level `strict_flags` support
- `GLOBAL FLAGS` and `OPTIONS` sections in app-level help
- Aligned column widths in help output across all sections
- `Flag::global()` constructor
- `format_flag` utility for consistent flag formatting

### Fixed
- Global flags now correctly merge into `CommandContext.flags` for handlers
- Strict flag mode on commands no longer errors on valid global flags
- Help column misalignment between COMMANDS and OPTIONS sections
- `--help` now correctly resolves command-specific help regardless of flag position

### Changed
- `show_help_if_no_args` and `show_help_on_fail` renamed to `print_help_if_no_args` and `print_help_on_fail`
- `Command`, `Flag`, and `CommandContext` split into dedicated modules (`commands.rs`, `flags.rs`)
