# Changelog
This is the changelog for `cxxopts`, a C++11 library for parsing command line
options. The project adheres to semantic versioning.
## Next version
### Changed
* Only search for a C++ compiler in CMakeLists.txt.
* Allow for exceptions to be disabled.
* Fix duplicate default options when there is a short and long option.
* Add `CXXOPTS_NO_EXCEPTIONS` to disable exceptions.
* Fix char parsing for space and check for length.
## 2.2
### Changed
* Allow integers to have leading zeroes.
* Build the tests by default.
* Don't check for container when showing positional help.
### Added
* Iterator inputs to `parse_positional`.
* Throw an exception if the option in `parse_positional` doesn't exist.
* Parse a delimited list in a single argument for vector options.
* Add an option to disable implicit value on booleans.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix a warning about possible loss of data.
* Fix version numbering in CMakeLists.txt
* Remove unused declaration of the undefined `ParseResult::get_option`.
* Throw on invalid option syntax when beginning with a `-`.
* Throw in `as` when option wasn't present.
* Fix catching exceptions by reference.
* Fix out of bounds errors parsing integers.
## 2.1.1
### Bug Fixes
* Revert the change adding `const` type for `argv`, because most users expect
to pass a non-const `argv` from `main`.
## 2.1
### Changed
* Options with implicit arguments now require the `--option=value` form if
they are to be specified with an option. This is to remove the ambiguity
when a positional argument could follow an option with an implicit value.
For example, `--foo value`, where `foo` has an implicit value, will be
parsed as `--foo=implicit` and a positional argument `value`.
* Boolean values are no longer special, but are just an option with a default
and implicit value.
### Added
* Added support for `std::optional` as a storage type.
* Allow the help string to be customised.
* Use `const` for the type in the `argv` parameter, since the contents of the
arguments is never modified.
### Bug Fixes
* Building against GCC 4.9 was broken due to overly strict shadow warnings.
* Fixed an ambiguous overload in the `parse_positional` function when an
`initializer_list` was directly passed.
* Fixed precedence in the Boolean value regex.
## 2.0
### Changed
* `Options::parse` returns a ParseResult rather than storing the parse
result internally.
* Options with default values now get counted as appearing once if they
were not specified by the user.
### Added
* A new `ParseResult` object that is the immutable result of parsing. It
responds to the same `count` and `operator[]` as `Options` of 1.x did.
* The function `ParseResult::arguments` returns a vector of the parsed
arguments to iterate through in the order they were provided.
* The symbol `cxxopts::version` for the version of the library.
* Booleans can be specified with various strings and explicitly set false.
## 1.x
The 1.x series was the first major version of the library, with release numbers
starting to follow semantic versioning, after 0.x being unstable. It never had
a changelog maintained for it. Releases mostly contained bug fixes, with the
occasional feature added.
