The Subplot project announces the 0.12.0 release of the tool for documenting acceptance criteria and verifying them automatically. See below for a summary of changes in this release, and NEWS.md in the git repository for release notes for all releases.

Version 0.12.0, released 2024-12-24

• The binary has been moved to subplot-bin in order to reduce the dependency list in subplot.

• A new macro was added to subplotlib giving subplotlib::codegen!() currently very simple, but will gain functionality with newer releases. This reduces/removes the need for subplot-build in many cases and may result in its deprecation in future.

• Additional ergonomics were added to the #[step] attribute macro to deal with cases where the body of the function does not parse. This should improve IDE diagnostics at least a little.

• New --log-level argument to the subplot binary is available to make it easier to select simple logging levels rather than having to use the SUBPLOT_LOG environment variable.

• Logging formatter changed slightly. If you were relying on the exact format of log messages from the subplot tool then you may need to adjust your scripts. For example, instead of INFO: and ERROR: you will find INFO and ERROR at the start of lines.

• New capture types escapedword and escapedtext added which process backslash escapes inside Subplot during code generation. Some bindings which previously did escape expansion in the step libraries have been updated to use this capture type instead.
