# Changelog


All notable changes to xeq will be documented here.

---

## v1.6.0


### Added


- **Environment variable interpolation** — use `{{$VARNAME}}` in any command to inject a system environment variable at runtime
- **Automatic `.env` loading** — xeq now loads a `.env` file from the current directory automatically before any script runs, no manual setup needed
- **`cd` operator support** — `cd` commands now support `&&`, `||`, `;`, `&`, and `!` operators instead of throwing an error
  - `cd foo && bar` — run `bar` only if `cd` succeeded
  - `cd foo || bar` — run `bar` only if `cd` failed
  - `cd foo; bar` — always run `bar` regardless
  - `cd foo & bar` — spawn `bar` in the background
  - `! cd foo` — negate the result of `cd`

### Fixed


- **Parallel mode variable substitution** — variables (`{{@var}}`), positional args (`{{1}}`), and environment vars (`{{$VAR}}`) were not being resolved before commands were spawned in parallel mode. All substitution now happens before threads are created
- **Parallel validation inside loop** — the `cd` and `xeq://` checks were running on every loop iteration instead of once before the loop, causing redundant work and fragile logic
- **Operator precedence bug on `cd` validation** — `line.starts_with("cd ") && line.contains("&&") || line.contains(";")` was incorrectly matching any line containing `;` due to missing parentheses. This check has been removed entirely in favor of graceful handling

### Changed


- Added warning message when `current_dir()` fails and xeq falls back to `"."`

---

## [v1.5.0] - 2026-03-11


### Added


- **Variables system** — define reusable values in a `[vars]` block and reference them in commands with `{{@varname}}`
- **Local variables** — scripts can define their own vars with `vars.key = "value"` to override global ones for that script only
- **Named arguments** — `--args` now accepts `key=value` pairs in addition to positional values, allowing named overrides of variables at runtime
- **Variable resolution order** — `--args` (runtime) -> local vars (per script) -> global vars (file-level). Most specific value always wins.

### Changed


- `--args` now supports both positional (`{{1}}`) and named (`{{@varname}}`) placeholders in a single call
- Improved error message when a `{{@varname}}` placeholder has no value defined at any level

### Fixed

- fix some bugs with the `cd` command handling
---


## [v1.4.0] - 2026-03-11


### Added

- `--global` / `-g` flag for `xeq run` and `xeq list` — explicitly use the saved global path instead of the local file
- Local `xeq.toml` auto-detection — xeq now looks for a `xeq.toml` in the current directory first, falling back to the saved path
- `xeq init` creates a new file named `xeq.toml`

### Changed

- Script `options` now use a typed enum instead of raw strings — unknown options will error at parse time instead of silently doing nothing
- Parallel mode now warns when `cd` or `xeq://` commands are skipped instead of silently ignoring them

---

## [v1.3.0] - 2025-03-10


### Added

- Script `options` array — set default flags per script in the TOML file
- `--parallel` flag — run all commands in a script concurrently
- `--allow-recursion` flag — opt into recursive script calls (circular dependency detection enabled by default)

### Changed

- Migrated script files from JSON to TOML format
- Refactored codebase into modules: `config.rs`, `runner.rs`, `types.rs`, `macros.rs`
- Grouped `run()` flags into a `RunOptions` struct
- Tests moved into their respective modules

### Fixed

- All clippy warnings (`io::Error::other`, `strip_prefix`, `needless_borrow`, `needless_question_mark`)

---

## [v1.2.0] - 2025-03-09


### Added

- `--args` flag — pass arguments to scripts and reference them with `{{1}}`, `{{2}}`, etc.

### Fixed

- Circular dependency detection for `xeq://` nested script calls

---

## [v1.1.0] - 2025-03-08


### Added

- Nested scripts via `xeq://script-name` syntax — call other scripts from within a script

---

## [v1.0.0] - 2025-03-08


Initial release.

### Added

- `xeq config <path>` — save path to your script file
- `xeq run <script>` — run a named script sequentially
- `xeq list` — list all scripts and their commands
- `--continue-on-err`, `--quiet`, `--clear` flags
- `cd` command support — changes working directory for subsequent commands
- Cross-platform support: Linux, macOS, Windows
