---
minor_changes:
- Refactored the CLI code to parse the CLI arguments and then save them into
  a non-mutatable global singleton.  This should make it easier to modify.
- Removed the private ``_options`` attribute of ``CallbackBase``.  See the porting
  guide if you need access to the command line arguments in a callback plugin.
Save the command line arguments into a global context * Once cli args are parsed, they're constant. So, save the parsed args into the global context for everyone else to use them from now on. * Port cli scripts to use the CLIARGS in the context * Refactor call to parse cli args into the run() method * Fix unittests for changes to the internals of CLI arg parsing * Port callback plugins to use context.CLIARGS * Got rid of the private self._options attribute * Use context.CLIARGS in the individual callback plugins instead. * Also output positional arguments in default and unixy plugins * Code has been simplified since we're now dealing with a dict rather than Optparse.Value 2018-12-18 02:10:59 +00:00			`---`
