Changelog

Unreleased

  • Improve feedback when a CLI arg is missing.

1.1.0

  • Significantly more consistent with the output of original cowsay.

    This is especially noticeable with the way backslash (character escape) is interpreted in cowfiles.

    For example superfluous escapes are handled better:

Before:

 _____
< Moo >
 -----
   \
    \
       /~\
      |oo )
      _\=/_
     /     \
    //|/.\|\\
   ||  \_/  ||
   || |\ /| ||
    \# \_ _/  \#
      | | |
      | | |
      []|[]
      | | |
     /_]_[_\

After:

 _____
< Moo >
 -----
   \
    \
       /~\
      |oo )
      _\=/_
     /     \
    //|/.\|\\
   ||  \_/  ||
   || |\ /| ||
    # \_ _/  #
      | | |
      | | |
      []|[]
      | | |
     /_]_[_\

  • Missing escapes are now handled exactly like the original cowsay (not as well).

    Fix the cowfiles not the cowsay.

Before:

 _____
< Moo >
 -----
         \
          \
                    ##        .
              ## ## ##       ==
           ## ## ## ##      ===
       /""""""""""""""""\___/ ===
  ~~~ {~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~ /  ===- ~~~
       \______ o          __/
         \    \        __/
          \____\______/

After:

 _____
< Moo >
 -----
         \
          \
                    ##        .
              ## ## ##       ==
           ## ## ## ##      ===
       /""""""""""""""""___/ ===
  ~~~ {~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~ /  ===- ~~~
       ______ o          __/
                     __/
          __________/

  • cowsay -list now behaves like original cowsay in that cows are separated by spaces instead of newlines.

  • New minimal JAR classifier=lib for use as a java library if the "one jar" is too big.

  • Better handling of a wide range of third-party cowfiles.

  • Fix license (#18)

  • Normalize whitespace like original cowsay (tabs and spaces collapse to a single space):

Before:

 __________
<     Awesome >
 ----------
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||

After:

 __________
<  Awesome >
 ----------
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||

  • Separate cowfile bundles into their own cowjars.

  • Move "offensive" cowfiles out of the default bundle cowjar into cowjar-off.

  • A working example application showing use with Maven, Ant and Java.

  • A lot of tweaks under the hood including: no more git submodules, vastly better unit testing, etc.

1.0.4

  • Handle piped input:
echo Moo! | java -jar cowsay.jar
  • CLI wrapper scripts facilitate usage without java -jar:
  cowsay Moo!
  cowsay -f tux Moo!
  cowthink Moo!
  echo Moo! | cowsay

1.0.3

  • Fix multiline wrapping issues encountered with long messages (#7).

1.0.2

  • Handle multiple args passed as message (#4).

1.0.1

  • Added HTML output mode.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
