The AWS Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface (EB CLI) has a new version, which improves "eb platform" help text.

**Release date:** August 16, 2018

## Changes
<a name="release-2018-08-16-ebcli-3_14_4.changes"></a>

You can use the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb3-platform.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb3-platform.html) set of EB CLI commands in two contexts. You can use some of its commands in a custom platform workspace, and others in an application workspace. Previously, when you ran **eb platform --help** or **eb platform *subcommand* --help**, the help message that the command displayed depended on the workspace in which you ran it. This meant that you didn't get the full explanation about what the command can do.

With this release, these help messages are identical no matter where you run the command. Each help message covers the full range of options that the command provides, organized by the context in which you run it. For example:

```
$ eb platform –-help
usage: eb platform <command> [options...]
Commands for managing platforms.
For more information on a specific command, enter "eb platform {cmd} --help".
To get started, enter "eb platform init". Then enter "eb platform create".

application workspace commands:
  show                  Shows information about current platform.
  select                Selects a default platform.

platform workspace commands:
  init                  Initializes your directory with the EB CLI to create and manage platforms.
  status                Displays metadata about your current custom platform version.
  use                   Selects the active custom platform version to use for this workspace.
  create                Creates a new custom platform version.
  delete                Deletes a custom platform version.
  events                Displays events for the custom platform associated with this workspace.
  logs                  Retrieves logs for your custom platform build event.

common commands:
  list                  In a platform workspace, lists versions of the custom platform associated with this workspace. Elsewhere, lists available platforms.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.
