Track Error Counts

The exit status will now be the number of errors that have occurred during processing.

Handful of Usability Improvements

• On Linux, a check will be performed on transparent_hupages and issue a warning if it is set to always instead of madvise
• The Ion shell is now a preferred shell, with Dash coming as second to Ion
• The ArgumentSplitter was improved -- copied from my Ion shell implementation
• Invalid arguments will issue warnings instead of crashing the program
• If an empty line is passed to standard input, it will be ignored
• All Rust dependencies have been updated to their latest versions

Cargo Categories Update + New Token

• Crates.io now supports categories, so this project has been updated to be listed in a category.
• Support for a new token, {^suffix}, that allows defining your own custom suffix to remove from inputs

0.11.0: Implemented Quoting

Additions since 0.10.7

• Proper support for quoting has been implemented
• Unneeded UTF-8 re-validations have been disabled
• The -j / --jobs parameter now supports +/- modifiers

Additions since the 0.10.0

• The --tempdir / --tmpdir parameters were implemented
• The joblog now supports a --joblog-8601 parameter for writing the start time using the ISO 8601 standard
• A numtoa crate was created for optimizing integer to byte array conversions
  • This crate is 10% faster at base 10 integer conversions than itoa
• A handful of dummy arguments were added to appease existing parallel scripts
• Code comments were added throughout the codebase
• Proper support for quoting has been implemented
• Unneeded UTF-8 re-validations have been disabled
• The -j / --jobs parameter now supports +/- modifiers

0.10.7: Handle Zero Jobs Argument

If someone passes a silly argument like -j0 or --jobs 0, this argument will now be ignored so as to not set the number of jobs to run to 0.

0.10.6: Implement Dummy Arguments

Even though the last release was only half an hour ago, I felt that this feature deserved another version bump due to it's importance in established scripts that are using the existing implementation of parallel.

The --no-notice, --line-buffer, --group and --ungroup arguments are now supported arguments that do nothing. They have been implemented merely to prevent the program from crashing due to being supplied with invalid arguments.

0.10.5: UTF-8 Fix & Log Truncation

• An issue was discovered with the tokenizer.
• That issue was then fixed with the following commit
• The unprocessed and processed logs weren't being properly truncated at the beginning of the program, so that was also fixed.
• The numtoa crate was updated to version 0.0.5 which has more performance optimizations

0.10.4: Bugfix

An error would occur if the tempdir was not created. With this change, temp directories will be created if they do not already exist.

0.10.3: Implemented ISO 8601 Joblog

• Implemented the ISO 8601 format for the start time column in joblog as an option
• Malformed columns were fixed in the joblog file
• ETA was optimized with the itoa crate
• The codebase was improved with more code comments
• Some refactoring to improve the overall quality

0.10.2: Quick Fix

• I forgot to remove unnecessary println statements
• There will also be less heap allocations for each job run
