Release v5.0.0 · epsy/clize

Breaking changes:

bytes annotation (converter) now re-encodes the corresponding parameter back to bytes

Deprecations:

The convert_default argument to value_converter is now deprecated. Parameter.cli_default is the recommended replacement. To help transition, a new convert_default_filter option has been added to value_converter, which allows converter authors to filter which values are selected for default conversion, thereby not incurring a deprecation warning for the user.

Updated compatibility:

Improvements:

Automatically group identical subcommands as aliases
Evaluate deferred annotations from PEP 563
Basic support for typing.Annotated
Parameter.cli_default allows script writers to specify a default value that will be converted like an argument passed in from the CLI, but not supplied when the function is called from Python.

Process updates:

Updated Continuous Integration and Delivery to speed up releases and move off of deprecated CI platform.
