Oh look! A new release of Hilbish! This time is the v2.1 release,
|
|
|
|
|
with a small amount of features and mainly documentation changes and
|
|
|
|
|
bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
# Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
There have been a few documentation enhancements for this release.
|
|
|
|
|
This includes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Adding the return types for all functions that need them
|
|
|
|
|
- Documenting Hilbish types like job objects and timers properly.
|
|
|
|
|
They now have a separate heading and listing of properties and methods.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixing outdated documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Features
|
|
|
|
|
## Sinks
|
|
|
|
|
A major addition is the new "sink" type for commanders to write
|
|
|
|
|
their output to. This was the solution to pipes and other shell
|
|
|
|
|
operators not working with builtins. If you wrote a commander
|
|
|
|
|
and made it `print`, use `sinks.out:write` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is also documented at the [commander docs](./docs/api/commander).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## `doc` command
|
|
|
|
|
Since API documentation has been moved to an API folder and also includes
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces, a change has been made to get the module name from the
|
|
|
|
|
passed from the requested page. This means that
|
|
|
|
|
`doc api hilbish hilbish.jobs` is now shortened to `doc api hilbish.jobs`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
|
Small release, small amount of bug fixes. Even though, this is the main
|
|
|
|
|
part of this release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Completions and Symlinks
|
|
|
|
|
Previously Hilbish completions did not work with symlinks properly.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be tested in the previous 2.0 release by attempting to
|
|
|
|
|
path complete to `/bin`. Since this is (or can be?) a symlink to
|
|
|
|
|
`/usr/bin`, it was not marked as a directory and therefore did not
|
|
|
|
|
automatically add the ending slash. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Segfaults
|
|
|
|
|
I found that when I updated my terminal of choice ([Tym]) for the new
|
|
|
|
|
daemon feature, Hilbish would sometimes segfault on startup. This is due
|
|
|
|
|
to it getting a resize event on startup while `bait` was not initialized
|
|
|
|
|
yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API Fixes
|
|
|
|
|
- The `hilbish.which` function works with aliases.
|
|
|
|
|
- `hilbish.completion.files` and `hilbish.completion.bins` will no longer
|
|
|
|
|
cause a panic with all empty arguments passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Next Release
|
|
|
|
|
Stay tuned for the v2.2 release, which will have a bigger set of features
|
|
|
|
|
and maybe some more bug fixes!
