[1.4.0] - 2023-04-21

Major Changes

• added cats entry point, for a repl version of the programm. This way you can enter and edit custom input line by line, instead of restarting the programm every time. Useful for the number conversion feature or a line by line base64 encoding/decoding (note that some parameters will not work with this entry-point since they will not make any sense in the context).
• added -R, --reconfigure parameter to decide if the standard-input (stdin) and standard-output (stdout) should be reconfigured to the parsed encoding parameter. Some repls handle text encoding different than others, so there is no uniform output when using uncommon encoding formats. Using this parameter the users can decide for themselves if the stdout should be encoded. Some users may experience readable console output when using the parameter while others may experience it when not using the argument.

Minor Changes

[1.3.0] - 2023-03-29

Major Changes

• renamed -k, --keyword to -g, --grep.
• removed requests dependency.

Minor Changes

• -F and -f will now show Amount displaying the amount of files found.
• added --nk, --nokeyword parameter to reverse the --grep output, essentially showing only lines that do not match any queried keyword.

[1.2.0] - 2023-03-14

Major Changes

• removed cat entrypoint.

Minor Changes

• added --binview, --binview parameter to display the raw byte representation of any given file in binary.

[1.1.7] - 2023-03-12

Minor Changes

• added --hexview, --hexview parameter to display the raw byte representation of any given file in hexadecimal.

• added -S, --SUM parameter to only show the sum of lines of all files.

[1.1.5] - 2023-03-01

Minor Changes

• the match and find parameters now ignore previously set ANSI-Colorcodes, and therefor gain color priority. This solves the issue, that these parameters sometimes would not find a substring because of invisible escape codes within the line string.
• added some caches which should speed up the process a little, when passing the same file as parameter multiple times.

[1.1.4] - 2023-02-27

Major Changes

• reverted from colorama just_fix_windows_console() to init(), such that stripping ANSI-Codes (e.g. on piping) can be enabled.

[1.1.3] - 2023-02-26

Major Changes

• it is now possible to use either the 'pyclip', 'pyperclip3', or 'pyperclip' module in order to use the --clip parameter. If none of these options are installed, the --clip parameter will not work yet the programm won't crash. This change was made due to some problems using the --clip parameter on macOS.
• the default clipboard module was changed from 'pyperclip3' to 'pyperclip'. This module however is not included in the necessary dependencies. It can be added to the installation dependencies by using 'pip install cat_win[clip]'. This chang was made to ensure compatibility with pypy-3.8 and pypy-3.9.
• elevated dependency colorama from >=0.4.5 to >=0.4.6 (also switched from init() to just_fix_windows_console()).

Minor Changes

• added appeal to raise official github issue when encountering an exception.

• fix Bug where background colors would colorize linebreaks and unnecessary whitespaces.
• fix Bug where parameters including --characters (like "test-file.txt") would not be recognized as an unknown file to write.

[1.1.0] - 2023-02-18
