v0.5.2

Bug Fixes

• hostess fmt -n works properly again, and has more specific behavior:
• hostess fmt will replace duplicates without asking for help
• hostess fmt -n will not replace duplicates, and will exit with error if any are found (#41)
• hostess fmt with and without -n will exit with error if conflicting hostnames are found because hostess cannot fix the conflicts

v0.5.1

Bug Fixes

• Format will no longer exit with an error when encountering a duplicate entry

v0.5.0

Breaking Changes

• Windows now has a platform-specific hosts format with one IP and hostname per line

v0.4.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix hostfiles not saving on Windows #27

v0.4.0

0.4.0 is a major refactor of the frontend (CLI) focused on simplifying the UI
and code, supporting newer Go tooling (i.e. go mod), and removing external
dependencies.

Breaking Changes

• Moved CLI to github.com/cbednarski/hostess. go get should now do what you probably wanted the first time.
• Moved library to github.com/cbednarski/hostess/hostess
• Many command aliases and flags have been removed
• Hostlist.Enable and Hostlist.Disable now return an error instead of bool. Check against ErrHostnameNotFound.
• Several functions will now return ErrInvalidVersionArg instead of panicking in that case

Improvements

• Removed codegangsta/cli
• Removed aff command
• Removed del command (use rm instead)
• Removed list command (use ls instead)
• Removed fixed command (just run fmt)
• Command fix renamed to fmt
• Removed -s and -q flags. Errors are now shown always. Redirect stderr if you don't want to see them.
• Removed -f from various commands. Use fmt instead.
• Added Go mod support
• Added AppVeyor for Windows builds
• Overhauled the Makefile for easier builds

v0.3.0

Features

• Added fixed subcommand which checks whether the hosts file is already formatted by hostess

Bug Fixes

• Show an error when there is a parsing failure instead of silently truncating the hosts file
• Global flags between hostess and the subcommand are no longer ignored
• Binary should now display the correct version of the software

v0.2.0

This release fixes the following issues:

• #14
• #15

Also, codegangsta/cli is now vendored, so you can install this from source via:

go install github.com/cbednarski/hostess/...
