-------------
Released 2022-03-28
- Drop support for Python 3.6. :pr:`2129`
- Remove previously deprecated code. :pr:`2130`
- ``Group.resultcallback`` is renamed to ``result_callback``.
- ``autocompletion`` parameter to ``Command`` is renamed to
``shell_complete``.
- ``get_terminal_size`` is removed, use
``shutil.get_terminal_size`` instead.
- ``get_os_args`` is removed, use ``sys.argv[1:]`` instead.
- Rely on :pep:`538` and :pep:`540` to handle selecting UTF-8 encoding
instead of ASCII. Click's locale encoding detection is removed.
:issue:`2198`
- Single options boolean flags with ``show_default=True`` only show
the default if it is ``True``. :issue:`1971`
- The ``command`` and ``group`` decorators can be applied with or
without parentheses. :issue:`1359`
- The ``Path`` type can check whether the target is executable.
:issue:`1961`
- ``Command.show_default`` overrides ``Context.show_default``, instead
of the other way around. :issue:`1963`
- Parameter decorators and ``group`` handles ``cls=None`` the same as
not passing ``cls``. ``option`` handles ``help=None`` the same as
not passing ``help``. :issue:`1959`
- A flag option with ``required=True`` requires that the flag is
passed instead of choosing the implicit default value. :issue:`1978`
- Indentation in help text passed to ``Option`` and ``Command`` is
cleaned the same as using the ``option`` and ``command``
decorators does. A command's ``epilog`` and ``short_help`` are also
processed. :issue:`1985`
- Store unprocessed ``Command.help``, ``epilog`` and ``short_help``
strings. Processing is only done when formatting help text for
output. :issue:`2149`
- Allow empty str input for ``prompt()`` when
``confirmation_prompt=True`` and ``default=""``. :issue:`2157`
- Windows glob pattern expansion doesn't fail if a value is an invalid
pattern. :issue:`2195`
- It's possible to pass a list of ``params`` to ``command``. Any
params defined with decorators are appended to the passed params.
:issue:`2131`.
- ``command`` decorator is annotated as returning the correct type if
a ``cls`` argument is used. :issue:`2211`
- A ``Group`` with ``invoke_without_command=True`` and ``chain=False``
will invoke its result callback with the group function's return
value. :issue:`2124`
- ``to_info_dict`` will not fail if a ``ParamType`` doesn't define a
``name``. :issue:`2168`
- Shell completion prioritizes option values with option prefixes over
new options. :issue:`2040`
- Options that get an environment variable value using
``autoenvvar_prefix`` treat an empty value as ``None``, consistent
with a direct ``envvar``. :issue:`2146`
