picocli 2.0.3
Picocli 2.0.3
The picocli community is pleased to announce picocli 2.0.3.
This is a bugfix release that fixes a parser bug where the first argument following a clustered options was treated as a positional parameter.
Picocli 2.0 accidentally introduced a transitive required dependency on groovy-lang. This is not desirable: Java applications using picocli don’t need this dependency.
Groovy scripts using the @PicocliScript annotation also don’t need this dependency because the Groovy runtime provides it. The picocli 2.0.3 release makes groovy-lang a compile-only dependency so it doesn’t appear in the POM.
This release also includes a minor enhancement to support embedded newlines in usage help sections like header or descriptions. This allows Groovy applications to use triple-quoted and dollar slashy multi-line strings in usage help sections.
This is the fifteenth public release.
Picocli follows semantic versioning.
