Changelog

[2.3.0]

Fixed

  • CLI no longer errors with "no command called X" when passing text directly as a positional argument (e.g., bangen "hello"). The entry point now automatically routes bare text arguments to the main subcommand.
  • TUI rendering on Linux/macOS no longer produces shattered/jagged output. The tty.setraw() call was clearing the terminal's OPOST flag, which disabled \n → \r\n translation and broke Rich's layout rendering. Output processing is now restored immediately after entering raw mode. SIGWINCH is also handled to refresh the console on terminal resize.

[2.2.3]

Added

  • pyperclip dependency for improved clipboard paste support in TUI text input boxes
  • GitHub Actions workflow now dynamically extracts dependencies from pyproject.toml instead of hardcoding them for PyInstaller builds

Changed

  • Auto-sizing is now enabled by default — use --no-auto-size to disable it
  • Auto-sizing no longer requires the --auto-size flag to activate; default behavior now includes automatic terminal-based sizing
  • Text input fields in export and preset dialogs now support full cursor movement with arrow keys (← →)
  • Text input now supports mid-string character insertion and deletion instead of append-only editing
  • Paste operations in text boxes now insert at the current cursor position instead of appending to the end

Fixed

  • Text cursor now displays at the actual insertion point in input fields
  • Backspace in text boxes now removes the character at the cursor position instead of always removing the last character

[2.2.2]

Changed

  • Temporal effects (fade_in, wipe, stagger) now perform continuous looping animations instead of stopping after initial transition

[2.2.1]

Added

  • CLI export progress display with a live progress bar, percentage, elapsed time, ETA, and stage text
  • Typer-powered CLI help output with cleaner option formatting and examples
  • GitHub Actions release workflow for standalone Windows, macOS, and Linux binaries uploaded to GitHub releases using the version from pyproject.toml

Changed

  • Removed HTML export support from the codebase, CLI surface, and documentation
  • GIF export now reports granular progress across frame rendering, palette construction, quantization, and file writing
  • Migrated the CLI help/parser layer from argparse to Typer while keeping the existing flag-oriented workflow
  • TUI export modal now displays live export progress with percentage, elapsed time, ETA, and stage text during rendering
  • Standalone release binaries now collect the full bangen package plus pyfiglet, Rich, and Pillow runtime assets so the packaged TUI app resolves imports correctly on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Project version metadata now reflects 2.2.1

[2.2.0]

Added

  • --screensaver full-screen terminal mode with auto-fitted banner sizing, randomized scene rotation, effect mixing, and optional seed/duration controls
  • Screensaver font rotation across multiple safe fitted fonts per scene
  • Expanded README documentation for screensaver mode and refreshed presentation details

Changed

  • Refined the README structure and GitHub presentation, including more deliberate visual emphasis

Fixed

  • Screensaver scene generation now skips invalid randomized effect kwargs instead of breaking playback
  • Screensaver fitting now reserves extra margin for motion/distortion-heavy scenes so text stays on-screen
  • Screensaver font selection is randomized across safe fits instead of collapsing into one repeated choice

[2.1.0]

Added

  • --preset-file support in the CLI for loading a preset JSON from any path without saving it
  • TUI preset loader modal with support for loading saved presets or an arbitrary preset file
  • Expanded README documentation for preset authoring, preset loading, and current CLI/TUI workflows

Changed

  • Reworked the active effect library for more stable, bounded, export-safe motion, distortion, visual, and signature rendering
  • Improved GIF and PNG raster rendering with better font metrics, larger raster sizing, and shared GIF palette generation across sampled frames
  • Refined flicker and glitch behavior to reduce export fuzziness and palette churn

Fixed

  • wipe now reveals visible content bounds instead of wasting progress on indentation
  • Preset-derived gradient_direction is preserved unless explicitly overridden on the CLI
  • Windows console export status output now uses ASCII arrows to avoid cp1252 encoding crashes

[2.0.0]

Added

  • Modular architecture: rendering, gradients, effects, tui, cli, export, presets, ai
  • True-colour RGB gradient engine with multi-stop interpolation (Gradient)
  • Composable effect pipeline on the Banner object
  • Effects: Wave, Glitch, Pulse (brightness oscillation), Typewriter, Scroll
  • Full-screen interactive TUI with split controls/preview layout (TUIApp)
  • Full CLI via argparse with all features accessible from the terminal
  • JSON preset system stored in ~/.bangen/presets/ (8 built-in presets)
  • Multi-format export: TXT, PNG, animated GIF
  • External FIGlet font loading via --font-dir
  • AI rule-based prompt-to-style suggester

Changed

  • Minimum Python version raised to 3.11
  • pyfiglet and rich remain the only required dependencies
  • Pillow is now an optional dependency (pip install bangen[images])

Removed

  • Monolithic single-file bangen.py replaced by package

[0.1.0]

  • Initial release: interactive prompts, 5 named colours, line-by-line animation, TXT save
