v0.18.0

Changes

Made Flags follow the same Option customisation mechanism as Args, setting a default value in the cli.Flag function signature is no longer required, a flag assumes it's zero value by default and may be overridden with cli.FlagDefault(T)

💥 Breaking Changes

• Breaking: Change the way flags are configured to be consistent with Args (#186) @FollowTheProcess
• Breaking: Change the signature of cmd.Run to pass a context.Context (#185) @FollowTheProcess

🚀 Features

• Add *url.URL as an argable type (#184) @FollowTheProcess

🔨 Refactoring

• Improve format.Slice by special casing the first element (#183) @FollowTheProcess

v0.17.0

Changes

This release breaks quite a bit of stuff, but for a good cause!

Goodbye []string and hello to type safe structs!

I've completed re-worked how positional arguments work, instead of getting the raw []string passed to the Run method, I've introduced a mechanism for declaring type-safe structs describing the positional arguments, which are then inferred using generics and parsed similar to how flags already worked.

As a result of this:

• I've dropped the cli.Allow option and all the argument validators as this new mechanism is much better and allows you to define exactly what
  arguments you want and what types they are
• The signature of the function provided to cli.Run has changed from func(cmd *cli.Command, args []string) error to func(cmd *cli.Command) error
• Raw positional arguments can still be obtained using cmd.Args()
• cli.NoShortHand is now flag.NoShortHand
• cli.FlagCount is now flag.Count

See the updated README and the updated examples for how to change your code to match the new behaviour.

I've updated my projects that use this and the changes honestly aren't so bad
