2.0.1

Bug Fixes

Remove dependency on deprecated distutils

2.0.0

Breaking Changes

Long options are now hyphenated (e.g. --update-check)
All boolean options take an argument (e.g. --scroll false)
Newlines will be used by default (--newline defaults to true) as zscroll’s primary use case is for panels, and this behavior is necessary for scrolling to work with polybar and lemonbar.
-m / -M syntax has changed to eliminate the previous complicated rules
The -f and -c flags have been removed. I don’t see them as having a legitimate use case (the default behavior for handling fullwidth characters is much saner), but if anyone would like them back, feel free to make an issue. -c would count fullwidth characters as length 1, causing the scrolling text length to change. -f would convert all letters to fullwidth if any fullwidth letters were found.

New Functionality

Add -t / --timeout to exit after some timeout
Add -r / --reverse to reverse scroll direction
Add -U / --update-interval to specify time to wait before running update checking commands
Add -e / --eval-in-shell to evaluate commands in a shell (to allow things like subshells, piping, etc.)

Bug Fixes

Fix -p / --scroll-padding (see #4)
Don’t exit if a shell command fails (e.g. mpd has not yet started but will later)
