Hi Rick,

I noticed you asked about Slop 4.0 on #ruby-lang. All v3 Slop code will not work with v4, so it won't be a quick or simple transition. I didn't provide a full changelog for v4 because I never truly maintained the one for v3, at risk of misinforming I decided to just remove it for v4. I believe the new README sums up the difference simply enough, though. Maybe I should add an 'upgrading' section to that.

The main things to consider are:

• No more instance_eval on the parse block. Which means you need to use a block argument, i.e: Slop.parse do |o| # ...
• Hyphens are now required. So 'f', 'foo' changes to '-f', '--foo'
• No more as, instead the type is used in the option method call, so on 'width=', as: Integer becomes o.int '--width'
• No more trailing = (this is solved by the above point)

You'll probably have noticed that I forked this repo as I was going to convert it to v4 for you. However it really came down to having to make too many decisions that you're better off making. Also, selfishly, letting you update it also helps me find any issues or enhancements you might come across or suggest.

Let me know if you decide to update to v4 and have any questions, I'll be here to help.

That said, I will continue to maintain v3 (bug fixes only) in a separate branch for those who prefer to avoid having to upgrade. So it's entirely up to you.

Thanks for using Slop!
