    • 👮 Force /bin/sh to be the shell in SshMachine.session() (#111 <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/pull/111>_)
    • ➕ Added islink() and unlink() to path objects (#100 <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/pull/100>, #103 <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/pull/103>)
    • ➕ Added access to path objects
    • Faster which implementation (#98 <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/pull/98>_)
    • 🛠 Several minor bug fixes

    1.4

    • 📦 Moved atomic and unixutils into the new fs package (file-system related utilities)
    • ⬇️ Dropped plumbum.utils legacy shortcut in favor of plumbum.path.utils
    • 🛠 Bugfix: the left-hand-side process of a pipe wasn't waited on, leading to zombies (#89 <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/pull/89>_)
    • ➕ Added RelativePath (the result of Path.relative_to)
    • 🛠 Fixed more text alignment issues in cli.Application.help()
    • Introduced ask() and choose to cli.terminal
    • 🛠 Bugfix: Path comparison operators were wrong
    • ➕ Added connection timeout to RemoteMachine

    1.3

    • Command.popen: a new argument, new_session may be passed to Command.popen, which runs the given in a new session (setsid on POSIX, CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP on Windows)
    • 👀 Command.Popen: args can now also be a list (previously, it was required to be a tuple). See
    • local.daemonize: run commands as full daemons (double-fork and setsid) on POSIX systems, or detached from their controlling console and parent (on Windows).
    • list_processes: return a list of running process (local/remote machines)
    • SshMachine.nohup: "daemonize" remote commands via nohup (not really a daemon, but good enough)
    • atomic: Atomic file operations (AtomicFile, AtomicCounterFile and PidFile)
    • 🚚 copy and move: the src argument can now be a list of files to move, e.g., copy(["foo", "bar"], "/usr/bin")
    • list local and remote processes
    • 👍 cli: better handling of text wrapping in the generated help message
    • 0️⃣ cli: add a default main() method that checks for unknown subcommands
    • terminal: initial commit (get_terminal_size)
    • 📦 packaging: the package was split into subpackages; it grew too big for a flat namespace. imports are not expected to be broken by this change
    • 🐧 SshMachine: added password parameter, which relies on sshpass <http://linux.die.net/man/1/sshpass>_ to feed the password to ssh. This is a security risk, but it's occasionally necessary. Use this with caution!
    • Commands now have a machine attribute that points to the machine they run on
    • Commands gained setenv, which creates a command with a bound environment
    • 🛠 Remote path: several fixes to stat (StatRes)
    • 📦 cli: add lazily-loaded subcommands (e.g., MainApp.subcommand("foo", "my.package.foo.FooApp")), which are imported on demand
    • ✅ Paths: added relative_to and split <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/blob/c224058bcefaf5c00fe2295389887c7ebc9d5132/tests/test_local.py#L53>_, which (respectively) computes the difference between two paths and splits paths into lists of nodes
    • 🖨 cli: Predicate became a class decorator (it exists solely for pretty-printing anyway)
    • 🛠 PuttyMachine: bugfix <https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/pull/85>_
