From 392fb490b04262fba193ffa37375bd0840cf5a96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Homborg Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2021 21:30:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] CHANGELOG 3: Return Of The Changelog --- CHANGELOG.rst | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.rst b/CHANGELOG.rst index 12111df07..30d1b42e4 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.rst +++ b/CHANGELOG.rst @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ Notable improvements and fixes - ``string match --regex`` now integrates named PCRE2 capture groups with 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. - Globs and other expansions are limited to 512,288 results (:issue:`7226`). Because operating systems limit arguments to ARG_MAX, larger values are unlikely to work anyway, and this helps to avoid hangs. - fish will now always attempt to become process group leader in interactive mode (:issue:`7060`).
