Welcome to a very long awaited release of Hilbish, and on Christmas. Just think
|
||
|
|
of it as a long preparing, late Christmas gift. :)
|
||
|
|
This release does not contain a whole lot of changes, but it is a new
|
||
|
|
release with enhancements and bug fixes!
|
||
|
|
|
||

# Documentation
|
||
|
|
As is a trend, the documentation has been improved by ONE HUNDRED TIMES.
|
||
|
|
Okay, not quite, but they've definitely been given an uplift.
|
||
|
|
Everything has been rewritten, new documentation has been added to both
|
||
|
|
the website and the local docs accessible with the `doc` command.
|
||
|
|
Both the website and local docs are now in sync with each other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This means that the `doc` command has also been improved to consolidate
|
||
|
|
the documentation changes. It looks a lot better, has pagination, etc!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Speaking of pagination...
|
||
|
|
# Features
|
||
|
|
## Greenhouse
|
||
|
|
The first new added feature is the Greenhouse pager! It is a library and
|
||
|
|
command accessible via `greenhouse`. It will have better integration with
|
||
|
|
Hilbish things, like notifications and can be used as a base for displaying
|
||
|
|
multi-line text output instead of paging to less. The usage of Greenhouse is
|
||
|
|
more efficient and better in Hibish!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notifications
|
||
|
|
Wait... notifications? Yes! All new in the 2.2 release is a generic notification
|
||
|
|
interface for things in Hilbish to alert the user of things going on. Stuff like
|
||
|
|
background jobs finishing, simple alarms, *actual messages*, whatever you like.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Fuzzy Searching
|
||
|
|
Users can now use fuzzy search for command history and completion search.
|
||
|
|
Enable it with `hilbish.opts.fuzzy = true`!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Smaller Enhancements
|
||
|
|
Did you know of the `cdr` command? I personally don't use it, but I've made
|
||
|
|
it look slightly better for ease of use. That simple change is adding the indexes
|
||
|
|
next to the directory so you'll know to type `cdr 2`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Users can now add aliases with numbered substitutions. In shell script,
|
||
|
|
some people have to make functions for certain things that are actually
|
||
|
|
just aliases. A simple example: `nix run nixpkgs#package` cannot be aliased
|
||
|
|
because if it was aliased to something like `run` normally there would be a space after.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simple fix:
|
||
|
|
```lua
|
||
|
|
hilbish.alias('run', 'nix run nixpkgs#%1')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rejoice!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Bug Fixes
|
||
|
|
There are a small amount of bug fixes but they're still fixes!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In some cases Hilbish will panic if:
|
||
|
|
- Alias resolution results in something empty
|
||
|
|
- A user does not return a table in a runner functions
|
||
|
|
These are both fixed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An infinite loop has been patched out if someone navigates without
|
||
|
|
having any prior history. Imagine pressing the up key on a fresh Hilbish
|
||
|
|
install and you shell no longer working... that's gone now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Something else that's gone... is still Windows support, but I added a fix
|
||
|
|
which will make file completion work now. Job management commands work as
|
||
|
|
well now too due to an oversight when changing up the job functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Towards v2.3
|
||
|
|
For the next release, I'm hoping that it won't take as long to deliver on
|
||
|
|
what is realistically a small amount of changes. So v2.3 will be coming
|
||
|
|
in a short time with some good changes, promise! See you in the
|
||
|
|
next blog post.
