venvat v0.2.18 Pre-Release Notes

Release Date: 27 AUGUST 2024

We are excited to announce the pre-release of venvat v0.2.18! This version is a significant step towards our official v1.0.0 release. While this pre-release version is feature-complete, it is intended for testing purposes, and we encourage users to experiment and provide feedback to help us refine the final release.

Key Features and Improvements

• Custom Virtual Environment Support:

  • You can now specify and save custom virtual environment names using the --venv flag, allowing seamless activation across different projects.
  • Example: venvat --venv myenv.

• Reset Configuration:

  • Added the --reset flag to allow users to easily reset the saved environment configuration.
  • Example: venvat --reset.

• Enhanced Error Handling:

  • Improved error messages and handling for common issues such as missing virtual environment scripts or incorrect configuration files.

• Improved Documentation:

  • Updated and expanded the documentation, including a detailed Setup Guide and Usage Guide, to help users get started quickly.

Known Issues

• Limited Testing on Non-Windows Platforms:

  • While venvat is primarily designed for Windows environments, we are still gathering feedback on its performance across other platforms.

• Configuration Persistence:

  • In some cases, users might need to manually delete the venvat.config file if configuration issues persist after using the --reset command.

Installation
