v4.0.0

4.0.0 (2025-06-05)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• Users who call ProcessExecuter::Options::Base#with even if from a derived class will need to update to use #merge instead.
• Users depending on Result#stdout or Result#stderr will either have to capture this output manually themselves or change from spawn_and_wait/run to run_with_capture.
• calls to ProcessExecuter.spawn_with_timeout_with_options and ProcessExecuter.run_with_options have been removed. Use ProcessExecuter.spawn_with_timeout and ProcessExecuter.run instead.
• Users who use ProcessExecuter.spawn_and_wait will need to update their calls to spawn_with_timeout. In addition, the following items will need to be updated if used by the user of this gem:
  • ProcessExecuter.spawn_and_wait_with_options
  • ProcessExecuter::SpawnAndWaitOptions
• In places where users of this gem rescued ::ArgumentError, they will have to change the rescued class to ProcessExecuter::ArgumentError.
