(+ FarNet and API documentation)
= 2.0.9 =
This version is all about "super-macros". It is not a new concept but it is
improved and made easier for practical tasks, unit testing in the first place.
*) Revision of [PowerShellFar.Stepper]. It still works with step sequences as
usual, but in addition it supports so called step units. Step unit is usually a
script that returns steps to be processed immediately after invocation. Several
units can be posted into the unit queue. See API help and samples below.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- Stepper is not exposed as $args[0] to steps, use $Psf.Stepper instead;
- Stepper.Data is removed because it is useless in multi-unit scenario; use
global variables, better with the same prefix, remove them in the last step.
*) Test-Stepper-.ps1 was completely remade. Now it shows how to invoke several
step units. Basically it is an example of a simple test monitor. This technique
is used for internal testing of FarNet and PowerShellFar. Two test examples are
included (see *+.ps1 files), because they are interesting themselves as demos.
Many other tests are technical and boring, they are not published.
*) Introduced new recommended suffix '+' for step unit scripts. See help topic
'Suffixes', it tells how to associate a command to such files.
*) New script (step unit) Test-Stepper+.ps1 contains steps that originally were
in Test-Stepper-.ps1. Plus some new minor changes. How to see its work: run
Test-Stepper-.ps1 which first of all plays Test-Stepper+.ps1 steps.
*) New script (step unit) Test-Dialog+.ps1 - steps for testing Test-Dialog-.ps1
dialog. How to see its work: run Test-Dialog-.ps1, push the button [Test] there
and watch the steps one by one.
*) Test-All-.ps1 (assorted tests) is removed because it is rather obsolete and
messy with new testing tools. Its test cases are covered by tests internally.
*) Clear-Session.ps1 - added more PS variables that should not be removed:
$this, $StackTrace, $LASTEXITCODE.
*) Generate-Dialog-.ps1 - output: a) $env:USERPROFILE\GeneratedDialog-.ps1
instead of C:\TEMP\Dialog-.ps1; b) Unicode instead of ASCII.
*) Read-Host uses for history SavedDialogHistory\PowerShellFarPrompt key,
not its subkeys; you may remove not used subkeys, if any, by this command:
>: ri HKCU:\Software\Far2\SavedDialogHistory\PowerShellFarPrompt\* -Confirm
