• ~ fixed missing DefaultValue support in bound inference

• • added support for inferring binding information for flags and options from the public constant fields of static classes (to support DRY, and transparency)

• ~ merge of various branch fixes

• • now takes ValuesString from a bound type's fields (if they have BoundValueAttribute or BoundValuesAttribute)

• ~ some preparatory mods

• • ensuring that XML documentation required for all libraries

• ~ moved ValidValues from Specification to OptionSpecification

• ~ refactored the exception hierarchy

• • added UsageUtil.ShowBoundUsageAndQuit() method (overloads)
• • added Invoker.ExecuteAroundArguments() method

• ~ adjusted response to BoundTypeAttribute recognising AttributeOptionsHavePrecedence only for properties specified, rather than all defaults
• • added CLASP.Examples.Common, containing common code for several examples
• • added examples Example.ParseAndBind.cat, Example.ShowBoundUsage

• • now supports binding of struct as well as class types
• • now a bound type's attributes can contain Alias, HelpSection, and HelpDescription, which may be merged with the Specification[] list for parsing and for showing usage
• • added Invoker.ParseAndInvokeMain<T>() overloads, which now merges a bound type's attributes into the given specifications before parsing
• • added UsageUtil.ShowBoundUsage<>, which invokes help in respect of a bound structure, and merges a bound type's attributes into the given specifications before displaying usage
• • added Specification.Alias() method, which defines aliases for flags or options

• • added SolutionInfo.cs

• ~ fix to unit-test

• • added Clasp.Util assembly (formerly SynesisSoftware.SystemTools.Util)

• • added Arguments.RequireValue() method (overloads)

• • added Arguments.RequireOption() method (overloads)

• [BREAKING CHANGE] ~ namespace SynesisSoftware.SystemTools.Clasp => Clasp
• ~ change Alias to Specification
• ~ rename Flag to FlagSpecification, Option to OptionSpecification

• ~ fixed missing range enforcement for floating-point fields

• • added support for Single and Double floating-point fields
• • added BoundNumberConstraints enumeration
• • added NumberTruncate enumeration
• • added OptionValueOutOfRangeException exception class
• ~ changed internal logic of BoundOptionAttribute to make defaults sensible
• • Invoker now enforces integer range constraints
• • added tests for above

• • added BoundEnumerationAttribute and BoundEnumeratorAttribute classes, supporting binding of command-line flags with enumerator values
• • added Example.BoundValues.cat

• ~ full and proper handling of ArgumentBindingOptions.IgnoreMissingValues

• • added ArgumentBindingOptions.IgnoreMissingValues and associated tests

• ~ full and proper handling of ArgumentBindingOptions.IgnoreMissingValues

• ~ clearing up some corner cases in default value support

• • now supports option default values
• • added DefaultValue attribute for option specification
• • added DefaultIndicator field for UsageUtil.UsageParams structure
• ~ enhanced Usage_tester.cs adding cases testing default value behaviour

• ~ fixed some subtle specification-finding defects

• ~ substantial improvements to ShowUsage() (and ShowVersion())

• ~ now works with string[] for values

• • bunch more testing to validate bound parsing of flags and options (in preparation for fixing of known defect in bound parsing of values)

• • added IArgument.Used property and IArgument.Use() method

• ~ changed (almost) all Argument properties to be backed by private readonly field

• • added IArgument.Specification property

• ~ fixed default interpretation of "-" to be Flag, rather than Option
• • added missing response to ParseOptions.TreatSinglehyphenAsValue
• ~ more preparatory refactoring

• ~ corrected Argument.ToString() for flags, options, values (and unknown)

• ~ significant preparatory refactoring, changing parameter names and documentation, along with internal fields and methods, in readiness for breaking change to rename *Alias types/attributes/methods to *Specification

• • ShowUsage() now lists an option's values (if specified)

• ~ fixed erroneous processing of alias to option-with-value
