[0.4.0] 2020-05-25

Changed

PtySession now works with any stream type, e.g. also tcp streams are supported now (thanks, thomasantony)
breaking: PtyBashSession was renamed and generalized into PtyReplSession to allow an interface for other REPLs
better error messages in case of timeout to help debug when you expect strings which you think are there, but are e.g. intermixed with newlines or ctrl characters: newlines are printed as \n, carriage returns as \r and control characters as ^
new: session::spawn_python, just as a proof of concept and documentation really, I don't think this will be used..

Fixed

spawn() now parses single/doublequotes better. E.g. ed -p '> ' is now tokenized into ["ed", "-p" "'> '"]

[0.3.0] 2017-10-05

Changed

breaking: execute takes string to wait for as second argument (before it waited 10ms which was way too fragile)
if process doesn't end on SIGTERM a kill -9 is sent after timeout is elapsed

Fixed

ctrl-* used to consume one line. As it could be that the reader did not consume all output data yet this could have been a not-yet-read line. Therefore send_control no longer consumes a line.

[0.2.0] 2017-09-20

Changed

All exp_* methods now also return the yet unread string and/or the matched string:

exp_string: return the yet unread string
exp_regex: return a tuple of (yet unread string, matched string)
exp_eof and exp_nbytes: return the yet unread string

Fixed

each execution of rexpect left a temporary file in /tmp/ this is now no longer the case
try_read was blocking when there was no char ready (!) -> fixed
