Reaction migration from v1 to v2

For now reaction v2 is released as 2.0.0-rc2, which means it's considered beta.

Feel free to try it, if you feel playful! Error reports are very welcome.

Configuration

A working v1 configuration should work as well on reaction v2.

There are small syntax differences between the two regex engines:

However, most regexes should be unaffected.

Please report any configuration / regex problem you encounter while upgrading!

reaction-v1 and reaction-v2 databases are not compatible.

The persisted memory of reaction will be lost.

The CLI is the same, but more flexible. Mixing positional arguments and flags is now supported.

Reaction now features man pages and shell completions for bash/fish/zsh! Documentation for their installation is available in the release page

The releases contain a debian package and a .tar archive.

The reaction binary is fully static and should work on any Linux distribution.

on reaction v1, only the cmd stdout was read. reaction v2 now reads both stdout and stderr.
