v1.1.42

This is a release candidate build.

This release candidate build seems to be working very well for me, even when copied into an existing Cmder\vendor\clink directory. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Cmder installation before copying Clink into an existing Cmder installation!

If this release candidate survives for 1 week without needing to be updated, the version number will be updated and it will become an official release version.

v1.1.42

• Added clink history --bare flag to omit history item numbers.
• Added several Lua functions:
  • io.popenrw() is like io.popen(), but returns both a read file handle and a write file handle (see documentation for important usage warning).
  • os.createtmpfile() creates a unique named temporary file, with control over the prefix and suffix and path.
  • os.getfullpathname() to get the full path name for a file.
  • os.getlongpathname() to get the long path name for a file.
  • os.getshortpathname() to get the 8.3 short path name (if available) for a file.
• Improved argument validation for Clink's Lua APIs. This could expose bugs in existing scripts, so there is also a lua.strict setting that can be disabled to revert back to loose argument validation.
• Updated documentation.
• Fixed clink history compact so that it forces compaction as intended.
• Fixed completion for clink set so that filename completion works in string settings.
• Fixed backwards return value from rl.invokecommand().
• Fixed console input/output modes across luafunc: key bindings, in case the Lua functions spawn a process that alters the console mode without restoring it.
