Version 1.0

After more than half month of work I am proudly releasing libsay Version 1.0!

Known Issues:

1. Top and Bottom of the box are printed even with empty lines/text. #3
2. "DEBUG" words in "non-debug" lines are been interpreted as "DEBUG: " messages. #2

Changelog:

• minor stable releases (point releases) will only contain minor changes or optimizations. That is, changes that don't affect how the lib work and it's commands.
• libsay is now extendable by using styles and draw command extensions.
• Added bottom_c top_c junction and column draw commands. (╩, ╦. ╬, ║)
• Added new predefined formatting functions for title, notice and normal.
• Removed all external dependencies! Now libsay is 100% self-sufficient. The following dependencies were removed: awk, sed, expr, tput, sort, head, tail, tr and more maybe?
• Now say is able to take command line arguments when reading a .txt file. say --colour light_cyan file.txt
• Major internal restructuring.
• Optimizations that gave a 500+% performance gain.
• Added benchmarks and test programs test your shell's and libsay's capabilities.
• Added repeat_symbol function/command that repeats any symbol any number of times.
• Added many text effects, like underline, strike-through, italics, fade and more.
• Added ability to change the border colour via setting a colour name to the variable $border_colour.
