  • Synchronized the global vix help output with all commands registered in the dispatcher.
  • Fixed missing commands in the help screen, including:
    • search
    • publish
    • unpublish
    • modules
    • completion
    • up
    • i
    • deps
    • test
    • make:<type>
  • Updated CLI help links to use the official documentation domain:
    • https://docs.vixcpp.com
    • https://docs.vixcpp.com/cli/
    • https://registry.vixcpp.com
  • Improved command grouping in the global help output.
  • Added clearer usage examples for common workflows:
    • vix run main.cpp
    • vix build main.cpp --out app
    • vix make:class User
    • vix add @cnerium/app
    • vix install

Added

  • Added replay support for recorded single-file script executions.
  • Added support for recording and replaying single-file script runs.
  • Added a dedicated replay command.
  • Added support for single-file binary export through vix build.
  • Added fast direct compile path for Vix scripts.
  • Added smart CMake fallback for scripts requiring Vix runtime, DB, ORM, or compiled dependencies.
  • Added improved build metadata storage under the Vix home directory.
  • Added better cache fingerprinting for direct script runs.
  • Added support for SQLite/MySQL and local-cache behavior in script mode.
  • Added structured compiler and runtime diagnostics, including template, container, coroutine, polymorphism, sanitizer, and CMake error detection.
  • Added command suggestions using dispatcher entries.
  • Added fmt, task, info, completion, outdated, update, upgrade, doctor, uninstall, modules, make, p2p, pack, verify, cache, publish, and unpublish commands across the CLI evolution.

Changed

  • Improved vix run behavior for single-file C++ scripts.
  • Improved vix build output handling for single-file builds.
  • Improved direct script cache behavior and stale-cache detection.
  • Improved forwarding of runtime arguments after the target in vix run.
  • Improved handling of --run and -- separators in script mode.
  • Improved passthrough runtime behavior for interactive prompts and piped stdin.
  • Improved Ctrl+C behavior by treating script SIGINT as a normal shutdown.
  • Improved runtime output rendering by reducing noise from aborts, duplicate logs, CMake internals, Ninja internals, and spinners.
  • Improved vix new internals and output rendering.
  • Refactored new and modules command internals.
  • Refactored build/run script execution flow around direct compile, CMake fallback, cache signatures, and runtime process handling.
  • Replaced legacy deps workflow with install, while keeping deps as a deprecated alias.
  • Improved registry dependency workflow with deterministic installation, lockfile support, transitive dependency resolution, semver resolution, scoped package names, global package support, and outdated checks.
  • Improved generated project scaffolding, CMake templates, README files, vix.json, tasks, and optional module layout.
  • Improved shell UX with cleaner output, better color helpers, unified UI rendering, and more readable tips.
  • Improved Windows/MSVC compatibility by fixing path handling, unused warnings, missing includes, link issues, and platform-specific process behavior.

Fixed

  • Fixed script runtime detection for direct compile vs CMake fallback.
  • Fixed CMake fallback for scripts using Vix runtime.
  • Fixed CMake fallback for DB and ORM scripts.
  • Fixed header-only, compiled, and header-plus-source dependency handling.
  • Fixed auto-dependency filtering for direct script runs.
  • Fixed stale cache issues by including CMake arguments in config signatures.
  • Fixed executable target resolution from build directories.
  • Fixed runtime argument forwarding in vix run.
  • Fixed interactive stdin and prompt preservation in script runner.
  • Fixed sanitizer output stability and diagnostics.
  • Fixed misleading CMake error detection.
  • Fixed project root detection and preset mapping.
  • Fixed vix tests behavior by auto-configuring/building when needed.
  • Fixed vix publish validation, duplicate version rejection, idempotency, and registry metadata generation.
  • Fixed vix unpublish registration and Windows build compatibility.
  • Fixed numerous compiler warnings across the CLI module.
  • Fixed Windows, macOS, Clang, GCC, and MSVC portability issues.
