xonsh 0.5.5

on Python PyPI

Added:

• New --rc command line option allows users to specify paths to run control
  files from the command line. This includes both xonsh-based and JSON-based
  configuration.
• New $UPDATE_COMPLETIONS_ON_KEYPRESS controls whether or not completions
  will automatically display and update while typing. This feature is only
  available in the prompt-toolkit shell.

Changed:

• Xonsh scripts now report __file__ and __name__ when run as scripts
  or sourced. These variables have the same meaning as they do in Python
  scripts.
• $XONSHRC and related configuration variables now accept JSON-based
  static configuration file names as elements. This unifies the two methods
  of run control to a single entry point and loading system.
• The xonsh.shell.Shell() class now requires that an Execer instance
  be explicitly provided to its init method. This class is no longer
  responsible for creating an execer an its deprendencies.
• Moved decorators unthreadable, uncapturable from
  xonsh.proc to xonsh.tools.
• Some refactorings on jobs control.

Deprecated:

• The --config-path command line option is now deprecated in favor of
  --rc.

Removed:

• xonsh.environ.DEFAULT_XONSHRC has been removed due to deprecation.
  For this value, please check the environment instead, or call
  xonsh.environ.default_xonshrc(env).

Fixed:

• Command pipelines that end in a callable alias are now interruptable with
  ^C and the processes that are piped into the alais have their file handles
  closed. This should ensure that the entire pipeline is closed.
• Fixed issue where unthreadable subprocs were not allowed to be
  captured with the $(cmd) operator.
• The ProcProxy class (unthreadable aliases) was not being executed and would
  hange if the alias was capturable. This has been fixed.
• Fixed a tcsetattr: Interrupted system call issue when run xonsh scripts.
• Fixed issue with ValueError being thrown from inspect.signature()
  when called on C-extention callables in tab completer.
• Fixed issue that ls | less crashes on Mac.
• Threadable prediction was incorrectly based on the user input command, rather than
  the version where aliases have been resolved. This has been corrected.
