v1.8.2

• Fix another deprecation warning issue.

v1.8.1

• Fixed bad deprecation warning with highlighter
• Fixed incompatibility with Click 9.

v1.8.0

• Add --rich-config and --output options to the rich-click CLI.
• Lazy load Rich to reduce overhead when not rendering help text. [#154]
• Some internal refactors. These refactors are aimed at making the abstractions more maintainable over time, more consistent, and more adept for advanced used cases.
  • rich_click.py is exclusively the global config; all formatting has been moved to rich_help_rendering.py.
  • RichCommand now makes use of methods in the super class: format_usage, format_help_text, format_options, and format_epilog.
  • Global formatter object has been removed from the code.
  • highlighter is now constructed by the RichHelpFormatter rather than being inside the config object.
• Added RichHelpConfiguration.load_from_globals() classmethod, which pulls all configuration from rich_click.py.
• Fix bug with regex highlighter for options and switches.
• RichHelpConfiguration() is now asserted to be JSON serializable, as an option for porting configurations. That said, serialization is not a fully supported feature of the high-level API, so serialize the config at your own risk.
  • Related: highlighter is now deprecated in RichHelpConfiguration; please use highlighter_patterns instead.
• Moved exclusively to pyproject.toml and removed setup.py / setup.cfg; thank you @Stealthii!
• Moved to text_markup: Literal["markdown", "rich", "ansi", None] instead of booleans.
  • The default is now ansi instead of None to help support usage of click.style(). None is still supported.
• Fixed issue where error messages would not print to stderr by default.
• New configuration options: [#178]
  • STYLE_OPTIONS_PANEL_BOX
  • STYLE_COMMANDS_PANEL_BOX
  • STYLE_ERRORS_PANEL_BOX
• Many quality of life improvements for command and option groups:
  • Support both command_path and command.name.
  • Added wildcard (*) option for command groups and option groups, with thanks to @ITProKyle!
  • Resolve duplicates.
  • Better typing for option groups and command groups with TypedDict [#156]
  • Added panel_styles support to groups. [#178]
  • Allow table_styles and panel_styles to be defined for the positional arguments group.
