CHANGELOG: preliminary work on 3.2.0 [ci skip]
2020-07-30 23:02:41 +08:00
fish 3.2.0 (released ???)
=========================
Convert Markdown files to RST We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these. It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without requiring another build dependency.
2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
Notable improvements and fixes
------------------------------
CHANGELOG: Make the important bits bold Nicked from the old (old old old) changelog for fishfish Beta r1
2021-01-26 21:36:43 +08:00
- **Undo and redo support** for the command-line editor and pager search (:issue:`1367`). By default, undo is bound to Control+Z, and redo to Alt+/.
- **Builtins can now output before all data is read**. For example, ``string replace`` no longer has to read all of stdin before it can begin to output.
CHANGELOG: Reorganize a bit The builtin-buffering thing is huge and should be early in the big ticket items, the performance improvement to completion of commands is cool but not all that important. [ci skip]
2020-10-29 03:12:55 +08:00
This makes it usable also for pipes where the previous command hasn't finished yet, like::
# Show all dmesg lines related to "usb"
dmesg -w | string match '*usb*'
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- **Prompts will now be truncated** instead of replaced with ``"> "`` if they are wider than the terminal (:issue:`904`).
CHANGELOG 4: Possibly too much changelog edition Some reformatting and showing an example for the prompt truncation, mainly
2021-01-22 02:07:38 +08:00
For example::
~/dev/build/fish-shell-git/src/fish-shell/build (makepkg)>
will turn into::
…h-shell/build (makepkg)>
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
It is still possible to react to the ``COLUMNS`` variable inside the prompt to implement smarter behavior.
- **fish completes ambiguous completions** after pressing :kbd:`Tab` even when they
have a common prefix, without the user having to press :kbd:`Tab` again
Some refinemens to the CHANGELOG Remove some bits from the significant changes, add some others, expand on some points. [ci skip]

(:issue:`6924`).
CHANGELOG: preliminary work on 3.2.0 [ci skip]
2020-07-30 23:02:41 +08:00
- fish is less aggressive about resetting terminal modes, such as flow control, after every command.
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
Although flow control remains off by default, enterprising users can now enable it with
``stty`` (:issue:`2315`, :issue:`7704`).
CHANGELOG: Fix code inside bold blocks Sphinx doesn't like it, so either use normal quotes or put the code outside of the bold block.
2021-02-09 00:18:53 +08:00
- A new **"fish_add_path" helper function to add paths to $PATH** without producing duplicates,
CHANGELOG 4: Possibly too much changelog edition Some reformatting and showing an example for the prompt truncation, mainly
2021-01-22 02:07:38 +08:00
to be used interactively or in ``config.fish`` (:issue:`6960`, :issue:`7028`).
CHANGELOG fish_add_path some more We should do more of this, the changelog doesn't have to be as short as possible.
2020-08-05 23:55:06 +08:00
For example::
fish_add_path /opt/mycoolthing/bin

CHANGELOG fish_add_path some more We should do more of this, the changelog doesn't have to be as short as possible.
2020-08-05 23:55:06 +08:00

CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
so it can be called safely from config.fish or interactively, and the path will just be there, once.
CHANGELOG: Fix code inside bold blocks Sphinx doesn't like it, so either use normal quotes or put the code outside of the bold block.
2021-02-09 00:18:53 +08:00
- **Better errors with "test"** (:issue:`6030`)::

^
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
This includes numbering the index from 1 instead of 0, like fish lists.
CHANGELOG: fix some wrong issue references
2021-02-17 00:29:13 +08:00
- **A new theme for the documentation and Web-based configuration** (:issue:`6500`, :issue:`7371`, :issue:`7523`), matching the design on fishshell.com.
CHANGELOG: Fix code inside bold blocks Sphinx doesn't like it, so either use normal quotes or put the code outside of the bold block.
2021-02-09 00:18:53 +08:00
- ``fish --no-execute`` **will no longer complain about unknown commands**

runtime (especially for functions). This makes it usable as a static syntax checker (:issue:`977`).
CHANGELOG: Make the important bits bold Nicked from the old (old old old) changelog for fishfish Beta r1
2021-01-26 21:36:43 +08:00
- ``string match --regex`` now integrates **named PCRE2 capture groups as fish variables**, allowing variables to be set directly from ``string match`` (:issue:`7459`). To support this functionality, ``string`` is now a reserved word and can no longer be wrapped in a function.
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- Globs and other **expansions are limited to 512,288 results** (:issue:`7226`). Because operating systems limit the number of arguments to commands, larger values are unlikely to work anyway, and this helps to avoid hangs.
CHANGELOG: Fix code inside bold blocks Sphinx doesn't like it, so either use normal quotes or put the code outside of the bold block.
2021-02-09 00:18:53 +08:00
- A new **"fish for bash users" documentation page** gives a quick overview of the scripting differences between bash and fish (:issue:`2382`), and the completion tutorial has also been moved out into its own document (:issue:`6709`).
Convert Markdown files to RST We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these. It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without requiring another build dependency.

2021-01-26 21:36:43 +08:00
- Range limits in index range expansions like ``$x[$start..$end]`` may be omitted: ``$start`` and ``$end`` default to 1 and -1 (the last item) respectively (:issue:`6574`)::
echo $var[1..]
echo $var[..-1]
echo $var[..]
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
All print the full list ``$var``.
Allow ** glob segments to match zero directories Prior to this change, a glob like `**/file.txt` would only match `file.txt` in subdirectories; the `**` must match at least one directory. This is historical behavior. With this change we move a little closer to bash's implementation by allowing a literal `**` segment to match in the current directory. That is, `**/foo` will match both `foo` and `bar/foo`, while `b**/foo` will only match `bar/foo`. Fixes #7222.
2020-12-29 10:11:47 +08:00
- When globbing, a segment which is exactly ``**`` may now match zero directories. For example ``**/foo`` may match ``foo`` in the current directory (:issue:`7222`).

2020-12-17 00:38:26 +08:00
- ``set`` and backgrounded jobs no longer overwrite ``$pipestatus`` (:issue:`6820`), improving its use in command substitutions (:issue:`6998`).
CHANGELOG 4: Possibly too much changelog edition Some reformatting and showing an example for the prompt truncation, mainly
2021-01-22 02:07:38 +08:00
- Computed ("electric") variables such as ``status`` are now only global in scope, so ``set -Uq status`` returns false (:issue:`7032`).
- The output for ``set --show`` has been shortened, only mentioning the scopes in which a variable exists (:issue:`6944`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
In addition, it now shows if a variable is a path variable.
CHANGELOG 3: Return Of The Changelog
2021-01-21 04:30:50 +08:00
- A new variable, ``fish_kill_signal``, is set to the signal that terminated the last foreground job, or ``0`` if the job exited normally (:issue:`6824`, :issue:`6822`).
- A new subcommand, ``string pad``, allows extending strings to a given width (:issue:`7340`, :issue:`7102`).
Convert Markdown files to RST We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these. It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without requiring another build dependency.

even a format string).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role

2020-08-27 22:39:48 +08:00
- Broken pipelines are now handled more smoothly; in particular, bad redirection mid-pipeline
results in the job continuing to run but with the broken file descriptor replaced with a closed

MOAR CHANGELOG
2021-01-22 23:25:12 +08:00
- ``command``, ``jobs`` and ``type`` builtins support ``--query`` as the long form of ``-q``, matching other builtins.
The long form ``--quiet`` is deprecated (:issue:`7276`).
- ``argparse`` no longer requires a short flag letter for long-only options (:issue:`7585`)
and only prints a backtrace with invalid options to argparse itself (:issue:`6703`).
CHANGELOG: Some more work of un-issued commits We should really start just adding these to the changelog sooner.
2021-01-09 01:34:49 +08:00
- ``argparse`` now passes the validation variables (e.g. ``$_flag_value``) as local-exported variables,
avoiding the need for ``--no-scope-shadowing`` in validation functions.
CHANGELOG 4: Possibly too much changelog edition Some reformatting and showing an example for the prompt truncation, mainly
2021-01-22 02:07:38 +08:00
- ``complete`` takes the first argument as the name of the command if the ``--command``/``-c`` option is not used,
so ``complete git`` is treated like ``complete --command git``,
and it can show the loaded completions for specific commands with ``complete COMMANDNAME`` (:issue:`7321`).

2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- ``set_color -b`` (without an argument) no longer prints an error message, matching other invalid invocations of this command (:issue:`7154`).
- ``exec`` no longer produces a syntax error when the command cannot be found (:issue:`6098`).
- ``set --erase`` and ``abbr --erase`` can now erase multiple things in one go, matching ``functions --erase`` (:issue:`7377`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00

- ``test -t``, for testing whether file descriptors are connected to a terminal, works for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 (:issue:`4766`).
It can still return incorrect results in other cases (:issue:`1228`).

2021-01-22 02:07:38 +08:00
- ``math`` now has a ``--base`` option to output the result in hexadecimal or octal (:issue:`7496`) and produces more specific error messages (:issue:`7508`).
- ``math`` learned bitwise functions ``bitand``, ``bitor`` and ``bitxor``, used like ``math "bitand(0xFE, 5)"`` (:issue:`7281`).

CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- ``read`` can now read interactively from other files, and can be used to read from the terminal via ``read </dev/tty`` (if the operating system provides ``/dev/tty``) (:issue:`7358`).
- A new ``fish_status_to_signal`` function for transforming exit statuses to signal names has been added (:issue:`7597`, :issue:`7595`).

2021-01-21 00:41:09 +08:00

- Significant performance improvements when globbing, appending to variables or in ``math``.

2021-02-07 22:13:41 +08:00
- ``echo`` no longer interprets options at the beginning of an argument (eg ``echo "-n foo"``) (:issue:`7614`).
- fish now finds user configuration even if the ``HOME`` environment variable is not set (:issue:`7620`).
- fish no longer crashes when started from a Windows-style working directory (eg ``F:\path``) (:issue:`7636`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00

CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-13 22:41:11 +08:00
- ``fish --profile`` now only starts profiling after fish is ready to execute commands (all configuration is completed). There is a new ``--profile-startup`` option that only profiles the startup and configuration process (:issue:`7648`).
Saturate exit codes to 255 for all builtins After commit 6dd6a57c606afa6673f7950364f8a76610e4106d, 3 remaining builtins were affected by uint8_t overflow: `exit`, `return`, and `functions --query`. This commit: - Moves the overflow check from `builtin_set_query` to `builtin_run`. - Removes a conflicting int -> uint8_t conversion in `builtin_return`. - Adds tests for the 3 remaining affected builtins. - Simplifies the wording for the documentation for `set --query`. - Does not change documentation for `functions --query`, because it does not state the exit code in its API. - Updates the CHANGELOG to reflect the change to all builtins.
2021-02-09 05:25:30 +08:00
- Builtins return a maximum exit status of 255, rather than potentially overflowing. In particular, this affects ``exit``, ``return``, ``functions --query``, and ``set --query`` (:issue:`7698`, :issue:`7702`).
builtins to allow stdin to be closed Prior to this fix, if stdin were explicitly closed, then builtins would silently fail. For example: count <&- would just fail with status 1. Remove this limitation and allow each builtin to handle a closed stdin how it sees fit.
2021-02-11 09:19:08 +08:00
- It is no longer an error to run builtin with closed stdin. For example ``count <&-`` now prints 0, instead of failing.
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0

- Blocks, functions, and builtins no longer permit redirecting to file descriptors other than 0 (standard input), 1 (standard output) and 2 (standard error). For example, ``echo hello >&5`` is now an error. This prevents corruption of internal state (#3303).
Convert Markdown files to RST We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these. It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without requiring another build dependency.

CHANGELOG: Make the important bits bold Nicked from the old (old old old) changelog for fishfish Beta r1
2021-01-26 21:36:43 +08:00
- fish will now always attempt to become process group leader in interactive mode (:issue:`7060`). This helps avoid hangs in certain circumstances, and allows tmux's current directory introspection to work (:issue:`5699`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- The interactive reader now allows ending a line in a logical operators (``&&`` and ``||``) instead of complaining about a missing command. (This was already syntactically valid, but interactive sessions didn't know about it yet).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- The prompt is reprinted after a background job exits (:issue:`1018`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-13 22:41:11 +08:00
- fish no longer inserts a space after a completion ending in ``.``, ``,`` or ``-`` is accepted, improving completions for tools that provide dynamic completions (:issue:`6928`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- If a filename is invalid when first pressing :kbd:`Tab`, but becomes valid, it will be completed properly on the next attempt (:issue:`6863`).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- ``help string match/replace/<subcommand>`` will show the help for string subcommands (:issue:`6786`).
- ``fish_key_reader`` sets the exit status to 0 when used with ``--help`` or ``--version`` (:issue:`6964`).
- ``fish_key_reader`` and ``fish_indent`` send output from ``--version`` to standard output, matching other fish binaries (:issue:`6964`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- A new variable ``$status_generation`` is incremented only when the previous command produces an exit status (:issue:`6815`). This can be used, for example, to check whether a failure status is a holdover due to a background job, or actually produced by the last run command.
MOAR CHANGELOG
2021-01-22 23:25:12 +08:00
- ``fish_greeting`` is now a function that reads a variable of the same name, and defaults to setting it globally.
This removes a universal variable by default and helps with updating the greeting.
However, to disable the greeting it is now necessary to explicitly specify universal scope (``set -U fish_greeting``) or to disable it in config.fish (:issue:`7265`).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- Events are properly emitted after a job is cancelled (:issue:`2356`).
MOAR CHANGELOG
2021-01-22 23:25:12 +08:00
- ``fish_preexec`` and ``fish_postexec`` events are no longer triggered for empty commands (:issue:`4829`, :issue:`7085`).
- Functions triggered by the ``fish_exit`` event are correctly run when the terminal is closed or the shell receives SIGHUP (:issue:`7014`).
- The ``fish_prompt`` event no longer fires when ``read`` is used. If
you need a function to run any time ``read`` is invoked by a script,
use the new ``fish_read`` event instead (:issue:`7039`).
- A new ``fish_posterror`` event is emitted when attempting to execute a command with syntax errors (:issue:`6880`, :issue:`6816`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- The debugging system has now fully switched from the old numbered level to the new named category system introduced in 3.1. A number of new debugging categories have been added, including ``config``, ``path``, ``reader`` and ``screen`` (:issue:`6511`). See the output of ``fish --print-debug-categories`` for the full list.
MOAR CHANGELOG
2021-01-22 23:25:12 +08:00
- The warning about read-only filesystems has been moved to a new "warning-path" debug category
and can be disabled by setting a debug category of ``-warning-path`` (:issue:`6630`)::

- The enabled debug categories are now printed on shell startup (:issue:`7007`).
CHANGELOG: Work on 3.2.0
2021-01-21 00:41:09 +08:00
- The ``-o`` short option to fish, for ``--debug-output``, works correctly instead of producing an

invalid option error (:issue:`7254`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- fish's debugging can now also be enabled via ``FISH_DEBUG`` and ``FISH_DEBUG_OUTPUT`` environment variables.
MOAR CHANGELOG
2021-01-22 23:25:12 +08:00
This helps with debugging when no commandline options can be passed, like when fish is called in a shebang (:issue:`7359`).
- Abbreviations are now expanded after all command terminators (eg ``;`` or ``|``), not just space,
as in fish 2.7.1 and before (:issue:`6970`), and after closing a command substitution (:issue:`6658`).
CHANGELOG: Move things out of "Notable" section As much as I love the new debug categories, they're not front page material. [ci skip]

CHANGELOG: Even moar
2021-01-21 02:53:53 +08:00
- The output of ``time`` is now properly aligned in all cases (:issue:`6726`, :issue:`6714`) and no longer depends on locale (:issue:`6757`).
MOAR CHANGELOG
2021-01-22 23:25:12 +08:00
- The command-not-found handling has been simplified.
When it can't find a command, fish now just executes a function called ``fish_command_not_found``
instead of firing an event, making it easier to replace and reason about.
Previously-defined ``__fish_command_not_found_handler`` functions with an appropriate event listener will still work (:issue:`7293`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- :kbd:`Control-C` handling has been reimplemented in C++ and is therefore quicker (:issue:`5259`), no longer occasionally prints an "unknown command" error (:issue:`7145`) or overwrites multiline prompts (:issue:`3537`).
- :kbd:`Control-C` no longer kills background jobs for which job control is

disabled, matching POSIX semantics (:issue:`6828`, :issue:`6861`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00

CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- History search is now case-insensitive unless the search string contains an uppercase character (:issue:`7273`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- ``fish_update_completions`` gained a new ``--keep`` option, which improves speed by skipping completions that already exist (:issue:`6775`, :issue:`6796`).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- Aliases containing an embedded backslash appear properly in the output of ``alias`` (:issue:`6910`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- ``open`` no longer hangs indefinitely on certain systems, as a bug in ``xdg-open`` has been worked around (:issue:`7215`).
- Long command lines no longer add a blank line after execution (:issue:`6826`) and behave better with :kbd:`Backspace` (:issue:`6951`).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- ``functions -t`` works like the long option ``--handlers-type``, as documented, instead of producing an error (:issue:`6985`).
- History search now flashes when it found no more results (:issue:`7362`)
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-01-07 22:17:04 +08:00
- fish now creates the path in the environment variable ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` if it does not exist, before using it for runtime data storage (:issue:`7335`).
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- ``set_color --print-colors`` now also respects the bold, dim, underline, reverse, italic and background modifiers, to better show their effect (:issue:`7314`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- The fish Web configuration tool (``fish_config``) shows prompts correctly on Termux for Android (:issue:`7298`) and detects Windows Services for Linux 2 properly (:issue:`7027`). It no longer shows the ``history`` variable as it may be too large (one can use the History tab instead). It also starts the browser in another thread, avoiding hangs in some circumstances, especially with Firefox's Developer Edition (:issue:`7158`). Finally, a bug in the Source Code Pro font may cause browsers to hang, so this font is no longer chosen by default (:issue:`7714`).
- ``funcsave`` gained a new ``--directory`` option to specify the location of the saved function (:issue:`7041`).
- ``help`` works properly on MSYS2 (:issue:`7113`) and only uses ``cmd.exe`` if running on WSL (:issue:`6797`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-01-02 23:26:40 +08:00
- Resuming a piped job by its number, like ``fg %1``, works correctly (:issue:`7406`). Resumed jobs show the correct title in the terminal emulator (:issue:`7444`).
- Commands run from key bindings now use the same TTY modes as normal commands (:issue:`7483`).
Introduces "smartcase" completions "smartcase" performs case-insensitive matching if the input string is all lowercase, and case-sensitive matching otherwise. When completing e.g. files, we will now show both case sensitive and insensitive completions if the input string does not contain uppercase characters. This is a delicate fix in an interactive component with low test coverage. It's likely something will regress here. Fixes #3978
2020-11-29 08:15:01 +08:00
- Autosuggestions from history are now case-sensitive, and tab completions are "smartcase": they offer case-insensitive matches if the input string is lowercase (:issue:`3978`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-01-07 22:17:04 +08:00
- ``$status`` from completion scripts is no longer passed outside the completion, which keeps the status display in the prompt as the last command's status (:issue:`7555`).

2021-01-13 21:52:26 +08:00

2021-01-08 22:12:13 +08:00
- Commands with leading spaces may be retrieved from history with up-arrow until a new command is run, matching zsh's ``HIST_IGNORE_SPACE`` (:issue:`1383`).

- Syntax highlighting can now color a command as invalid even if executed quickly (:issue:`5912`).
Highlight redirection target as valid if it contains a to-be-defined variable If a variable is undefined, but it looks like it will be defined by the current command line, assume the user knows what they are doing. This should cover most real-world occurrences. Closes #6654
2021-02-01 14:08:05 +08:00

2021-02-07 22:13:41 +08:00
- fish is now more resilient against broken terminal modes (:issue:`7133`, :issue:`4873`).
- fish handles being in control of the TTY without owning its own process group better, avoiding some hangs in special configurations (:issue:`7388`).

New or improved bindings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- As mentioned above, new special input functions ``undo`` (:kbd:`Control+\_` or :kbd:`Control+Z`) and ``redo`` (:kbd:`Alt-/`) can be used to revert changes to the command line or the pager search field (:issue:`6570`).
- :kbd:`Control-Z` is now available for binding (:issue:`7152`).
- Additionally, using the ``cancel`` special input function (bound to :kbd:`Escape` by default) right after fish picked an unambiguous completion will undo that (:issue:`7433`).
- ``fish_clipboard_paste`` (:kbd:`Control+V`) trims indentation from multiline commands, because fish already indents (:issue:`7662`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-01-02 23:26:40 +08:00
- Vi mode bindings now support ``dh``, ``dl``, ``c0``, ``cf``, ``ct``, ``cF``, ``cT``, ``ch``, ``cl``, ``y0``, ``ci``, ``ca``, ``yi``, ``ya``, ``di``, ``da``, ``d;``, ``d,``, ``o``, ``O`` and Control+left/right keys to navigate by word (:issue:`6648`, :issue:`6755`, :issue:`6769`, :issue:`7442`, :issue:`7516`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-27 21:37:07 +08:00
- Vi mode bindings support :kbd:`~` (tilde) to toggle the case of the selected character (:issue:`6908`).
- Functions ``up-or-search`` and ``down-or-search`` (:kbd:`Up` and :kbd:`Down`) can cross empty lines, and don't activate search mode if the search fails, which makes them easier to use to move between lines in some situations.
CHANGELOG: document some changes with no associated issue This should cover my remaining user-facing commits since 3.1.2.
2021-01-01 19:15:43 +08:00

CHANGELOG: Work on 3.2.0
2021-01-21 00:41:09 +08:00
- A new special input function ``forward-single-char`` moves one character to the right, and if an autosuggestion is available, only take a single character from it (:issue:`7217`, :issue:`4984`).
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-01-08 22:12:13 +08:00
- Special input functions can now be joined with ``or`` as a modifier (adding to ``and``), though only some commands set an exit status (:issue:`7217`). This includes ``suppress-autosuggestion`` to reflect whether an autosuggestion was suppressed (:issue:`1419`)
CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0

- ``__fish_whatis_current_token`` (:kbd:`Alt-W`) prints descriptions for functions and builtins (:issue:`7191`, :issue:`2083`).
- The definition of "word" and "bigword" for movements was refined, fixing (eg) vi mode's behavior with :kbd:`e` on the second-to-last char, and bigword's behavior with single-character words and non-blank non-graphical characters (:issue:`7353`, :issue:`7354`, :issue:`4025`, :issue:`7328`, :issue:`7325`)
- fish's clipboard bindings now also support Windows Subsystem for Linux via PowerShell and clip.exe (:issue:`7455`, :issue:`7458`) and will properly copy newlines in multi-line commands.
CHANGELOG: Some more work of un-issued commits We should really start just adding these to the changelog sooner.

CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role

commands prefixed with ``not`` (:issue:`6566`).

CHANGELOG: Some more work of un-issued commits We should really start just adding these to the changelog sooner.
2021-01-09 01:34:49 +08:00
- The Mercurial prompt correctly shows untracked status (:issue:`6906`), and by default only shows the branch for performance reasons.
A new variable ``$fish_prompt_hg_show_informative_status`` can be set to enable more information.
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role

CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0

CHANGELOG: work on 3.2.0
2021-02-13 22:41:11 +08:00
- Lots of improvements to completions, including:
- ``git`` completions can complete the right and left parts of a commit range like ``from..to`` or ``left...right``.
- Completion scripts for custom Git subcommands like ``git-xyz`` are now loaded with Git completions. The completions can now be defined directly on the subcommand (using ``complete git-xyz``), and completion for ``git xyz`` will work. (:issue:`7075`, :issue:`7652`, :issue:`4358`)
- ``make`` completions no longer second-guess make's file detection, fixing target completion in some cases (:issue:`7535`).
- Command completions now correctly print the description even if the command was fully matched (like in ``ls<TAB>``).
- ``set`` completions no longer hide variables starting with ``__``, they are sorted last instead.

- Suffix completion using ``__fish_complete_suffix`` uses the same fuzzy matching logic as normal file completion, and completes any file but sorts files with matching suffix first (:issue:`7040`, :issue:`7547`). Previously, it only completed files with matching suffix.

By default it will call a previously-defined ``__fish_command_not_found_handler``. To emit the event manually use ``emit fish_command_not_found``.
- The ``fish_prompt`` event no longer fires when ``read`` is used. If
you need a function to run any time ``read`` is invoked by a script,
use the new ``fish_read`` event instead (:issue:`7039`).
- To disable the greeting message permanently it is no longer enough to just run ``set fish_greeting`` interactively as it is
no longer implicitly a universal variable. Use ``set -U fish_greeting`` or disable it in config.fish with ``set -g fish_greeting``.

Errata for fish 3.1
-------------------
A new builtin, ``time``, was introduced in the fish 3.1 releases. This
builtin is a reserved word (like ``test``, ``function``, and others)
because of the way it is implemented, and functions can no longer be
named ``time``. This was not clear in the fish 3.1b1 changelog.

Do disown the completion updating without $last_pid In this context, as it stands, $last_pid will give fish's pid (because of pgroup shenanigans). Since that doesn't really work, just `disown` without and let fish figure out what the last process was. Theoretically this has an issue if someone started a background process *before* the python script *and* that exits before we run disown. That's a vanishingly small window and this is only run on first start, so it seems acceptable. Fixes #7739.

2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
- fish 3.0 introduced a CMake-based build system. In fish 3.1, both the
Autotools-based build and legacy Xcode build system have been
removed, leaving only the CMake build system. All distributors and
developers must install CMake.
- fish now depends on the common ``tee`` external command, for the
``psub`` process substitution function.
- The documentation is now built with Sphinx. The old Doxygen-based
documentation system has been removed. Developers, and distributors
who wish to rebuild the documentation, must install Sphinx.
- The ``INTERNAL_WCWIDTH`` build option has been removed, as fish now
always uses an internal ``wcwidth`` function. It has a number of
configuration options that make it more suitable for general use

- Completions for ``npm``, ``bower`` and ``yarn`` no longer require the
``jq`` utility for full functionality, but will use Python instead if
it is available.
- The paths for completions, functions and configuration snippets have
been extended. On systems that define ``XDG_DATA_DIRS``, each of the
directories in this variable are searched in the subdirectories
``fish/vendor_completions.d``, ``fish/vendor_functions.d``, and
``fish/vendor_conf.d`` respectively. On systems that do not define
this variable in the environment, the vendor directories are searched
for in both the installation prefix and the default “extra”

Notable non-backward compatible changes
---------------------------------------
- Process and job expansion has largely been removed. ``%`` will no
longer perform these expansions, except for ``%self`` for the PID of
the current shell. Additionally, job management commands (``disown``,
``wait``, ``bg``, ``fg`` and ``kill``) will expand job specifiers
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00

is no longer valid syntax (:issue:`4236`).

2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00

CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role

manner. For example, ``{,,,}`` expands to four empty strings rather

- Range expansion will now behave sensibly when given a single positive
and negative index (``$foo[5..-1]`` or ``$foo[-1..5]``), clamping to
the last valid index without changing direction if the list has fewer
elements than expected.
- ``read`` now uses ``-s`` as short for ``--silent`` (à la ``bash``);

Deprecations
------------
With the release of fish 3, a number of features have been marked for
removal in the future. All users are encouraged to explore alternatives.
A small number of these features are currently behind feature flags,
which are turned on at present but may be turned off by default in the
future.
A new feature flags mechanism is added for staging deprecations and
breaking changes. Feature flags may be specified at launch with
``fish --features ...`` or by setting the universal ``fish_features``

.. _known-issues-1:
Known issues
------------
- Apple macOS Sierra 10.12.5 introduced a problem with launching web
browsers from other programs using AppleScript. This affects the fish
Web configuration (``fish_config``); users on these platforms will
need to manually open the address displayed in the terminal, such as
by copying and pasting it into a browser. This problem will be fixed
with macOS 10.12.6.
If you are upgrading from version 2.5.0 or before, please also review
the release notes for 2.6b1 (included below).

Platform Changes
----------------
Starting with version 2.5, fish requires a more up-to-date version of
C++, specifically C++11 (from 2011). This affects some older platforms:
Linux

2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
For users building from source, GCC’s g++ 4.8 or later, or LLVM’s clang
3.3 or later, are known to work. Older platforms may require a newer
compiler installed.
Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the toolchain, binary
packages are no longer published by the fish-shell developers for the
following platforms:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 5 & 6 for 64-bit builds
- Ubuntu 12.04 (EoLTS April 2017)
- Debian 7 (EoLTS May 2018)
Installing newer version of fish on these systems will require building
from source.

2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
Starting with version 2.5, fish requires a C++11 standard library on OS
X 10.6 (“SnowLeopard”). If this library is not installed, you will see
this error: ``dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib``
MacPorts is the easiest way to obtain this library. After installing the
SnowLeopard MacPorts release from the install page, run:
::
sudo port -v install libcxx
Now fish should launch successfully. (Please open an issue if it does
not.)
This is only necessary on 10.6. OS X 10.7 and later include the required
library by default.

- Fish now defines a default directory for other packages to provide
completions. By default this is
``/usr/share/fish/vendor-completions.d``; on systems with
``pkgconfig`` installed this path is discoverable with

fish 2.1.2 contains a workaround for a filesystem bug in Mac OS X
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
Yosemite. :issue:`1859`
Convert Markdown files to RST We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these. It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without requiring another build dependency.
2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
Specifically, after installing fish 2.1.1 and then rebooting, “Verify
Disk” in Disk Utility will report “Invalid number of hard links.” We
don’t have any reports of data loss or other adverse consequences. fish
2.1.2 avoids triggering the bug, but does not repair an already affected
filesystem. To repair the filesystem, you can boot into Recovery Mode
and use Repair Disk from Disk Utility. Linux and versions of OS X prior
to Yosemite are believed to be unaffected.
There are no other changes in this release.
--------------
fish 2.1.1 (released September 26, 2014)
========================================
**Important:** if you are upgrading, stop all running instances of
``fishd`` as soon as possible after installing this release; it will be
restarted automatically. On most systems, there will be no further
action required. Note that some environments (where ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR``
is set), such as Fedora 20, will require a restart of all running fish
processes before universal variables work as intended.
Distributors are highly encouraged to call ``killall fishd``,
``pkill fishd`` or similar in installation scripts, or to warn their
users to do so.

-------------------
CHANGELOG: Use :issue: role
2020-11-22 23:46:48 +08:00
- **Tab completions will fuzzy-match files.** :issue:`568`
Convert Markdown files to RST We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these. It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without requiring another build dependency.
2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
When tab-completing a file, fish will first attempt prefix matches
(``foo`` matches ``foobar``), then substring matches (``ooba``
matches ``foobar``), and lastly subsequence matches (``fbr`` matches
``foobar``). For example, in a directory with files foo1.txt,
foo2.txt, foo3.txt…, you can type only the numeric part and hit tab
to fill in the rest.
This feature is implemented for files and executables. It is not yet
implemented for options (like ``--foobar``), and not yet implemented
across path components (like ``/u/l/b`` to match ``/usr/local/bin``).

2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
Previously, a single ``%`` would pid-expand to either all
backgrounded jobs, or all jobs owned by your user. Now it expands to
the last job backgrounded. If no job is in the background, it will
fail to expand. In particular, ``fg %`` can be used to put the most
recent background job in the foreground.

exit status of command substitutions (like ``(pwd)``) was ignored;
however now it modifies $status. Furthermore, the ``set`` command now
only sets $status on failure; it is untouched on success. This allows
for the following pattern:
.. code:: sh
if set python_path (which python)
...
end
Because set does not modify $status on success, the if branch
effectively tests whether ``which`` succeeded, and if so, whether the
``set`` also succeeded.

fishfish Beta r2
================
Bug Fixes
---------
- **Implicit cd** is back, for paths that start with one or two dots, a
slash, or a tilde.
- **Overrides of default functions should be fixed.** The “internalized
scripts” feature is disabled for now.
- **Disabled delayed suspend.** This is a strange job-control feature
of BSD systems, including OS X. Disabling it frees up Control Y for
other purposes; in particular, for yank, which now works on OS X.
- **fish_indent is fixed.** In particular, the ``funced`` and
``funcsave`` functions work again.

2020-05-28 23:07:51 +08:00
- Bumped the \__fish_config_interactive version number so the default
fish_color_autosuggestion kicks in.
- fish_config better handles combined term256 and classic colors like
“555 yellow”.
New Features
------------
- **A history builtin**, and associated interactive function that
enables deleting history items. Example usage: \* Print all history
items beginning with echo: ``history --prefix echo`` \* Print all
history items containing foo: ``history --contains foo`` \*
Interactively delete some items containing foo:
``history --delete --contains foo``
Credit to @siteshwar for implementation. Thanks @siteshwar!

fishfish Beta r1
================
Scripting
---------
- No changes! All existing fish scripts, config files, completions,
etc. from trunk should continue to work.
.. _new-features-1:
New Features
------------
- **Autosuggestions**. Think URL fields in browsers. When you type a
command, fish will suggest the rest of the command after the cursor,
in a muted gray when possible. You can accept the suggestion with the
right arrow key or Ctrl-F. Suggestions come from command history,
completions, and some custom code for cd; there’s a lot of potential
for improvement here. The suggestions are computed on a background
pthread, so they never slow down your typing. The autosuggestion
feature is incredible. I miss it dearly every time I use anything
else.
- **term256 support** where available, specifically modern xterms and
OS X Lion. You can specify colors the old way (‘set_color cyan’) or
by specifying RGB hex values (‘set_color FF3333’); fish will pick the
closest supported color. Some xterms do not advertise term256 support
either in the $TERM or terminfo max_colors field, but nevertheless
support it. For that reason, fish will default into using it on any
xterm (but it can be disabled with an environment variable).
- **Web-based configuration** page. There is a new function
‘fish_config’. This spins up a simple Python web server and opens a
browser window to it. From this web page, you can set your shell
colors and view your functions, variables, and history; all changes
apply immediately to all running shells. Eventually all configuration
ought to be supported via this mechanism (but in addition to, not
instead of, command line mechanisms).
- **Man page completions**. There is a new function
‘fish_update_completions’. This function reads all the man1 files
from your manpath, removes the roff formatting, parses them to find
the commands and options, and outputs fish completions into
~/.config/fish/completions. It won’t overwrite existing completion
files (except ones that it generated itself).
Programmatic Changes
--------------------
- fish is now entirely in C++. I have no particular love for C++, but
it provides a ready memory-model to replace halloc. We’ve made an
effort to keep it to a sane and portable subset (no C++11, no boost,
no going crazy with templates or smart pointers), but we do use the
STL and a little tr1.
- halloc is entirely gone, replaced by normal C++ ownership semantics.
If you don’t know what halloc is, well, now you have two reasons to
be happy.
- All the crufty C data structures are entirely gone. array_list_t,
priority_queue_t, hash_table_t, string_buffer_t have been removed and
replaced by STL equivalents like std::vector, std::map, and
std::wstring. A lot of the string handling now uses std::wstring
instead of wchar_t \*
- fish now spawns pthreads for tasks like syntax highlighting that
require blocking I/O.
- History has been completely rewritten. History files now use an
extensible YAML-style syntax. History “merging” (multiple shells
writing to the same history file) now works better. There is now a
maximum history length of about 250k items (256 \* 1024).
- The parser has been “instanced,” so you can now create more than one.
- Total #LoC has shrunk slightly even with the new features.
Performance
-----------
- fish now runs syntax highlighting in a background thread, so typing
commands is always responsive even on slow filesystems.
- echo, test, and pwd are now builtins, which eliminates many forks.
- The files in share/functions and share/completions now get
‘internalized’ into C strings that get compiled in with fish. This
substantially reduces the number of files touched at startup. A
consequence is that you cannot change these functions without
recompiling, but often other functions depend on these “standard”
functions, so changing them is perhaps not a good idea anyways.
Here are some system call counts for launching and then exiting fish
with the default configuration, on OS X. The first column is fish trunk,
the next column is with our changes, and the last column is bash for
comparison. This data was collected via dtrace.

The large number of forks relative to bash are due to fish’s insanely
expensive default prompt, which is unchanged in my version. If we switch
to a prompt comparable to bash’s (lame) default, the forks drop to 16
with trunk, 4 after our changes.
The large reduction in lstat() numbers is due to fish no longer needing
to call ttyname() on OS X.
We’ve got some work to do to be as lean as bash, but we’re on the right
track.
