Release Notes for byDefault v0.5.3

Overview

Version 0.5.3 enhances the merge command by automatically cleaning up merged files in the local directory, improving the overall workflow for Splunk TA development.

New Features

• Automatic Local File Cleanup: After a successful merge, files in the local directory are now automatically removed to prevent confusion and duplication
• Keep Local Option: Added a new --keep-local flag to preserve files in the local directory after merging if desired

Improvements

• Enhanced Feedback: Added detailed messaging about files removed from local directory
• Dry Run Warnings: Added informative messages about what would happen to local files in dry run mode
• Better Error Handling: Improved handling of file removal errors with appropriate warnings

Files Included in Release

• bydefault-0.5.3.tar.gz: Python package source distribution
• bydefault-0.5.3-py3-none-any.whl: Python wheel package
• byDefault-v0.5.3-standalone.tar.gz: Standalone executable archive
