tag.</p></blockquote><p>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.</p><h2 id=documentation class=heading>Documentation
<a href=#documentation class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h2><p>There have been a few documentation enhancements for this release.
This includes:</p><ul><li>Adding the return types for all functions that need them</li><li>Documenting Hilbish types like job objects and timers properly.
They now have a separate heading and listing of properties and methods.</li><li>Fixing outdated documentation</li></ul><h2 id=features class=heading>Features
<a href=#features class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h2><h3 id=sinks class=heading>Sinks
<a href=#sinks class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>A major addition is the new &ldquo;sink&rdquo; 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 <code>print</code>, use <code>sinks.out:write</code> instead.</p><p>This is also documented at the <a href=./docs/api/commander>commander docs</a>
.</p><h3 id=doc-command class=heading><code>doc</code> command
<a href=#doc-command class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>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
<code>doc api hilbish hilbish.jobs</code> is now shortened to <code>doc api hilbish.jobs</code></p><h2 id=bug-fixes class=heading>Bug Fixes
<a href=#bug-fixes class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h2><p>Small release, small amount of bug fixes. Even though, this is the main
part of this release.</p><h3 id=completions-and-symlinks class=heading>Completions and Symlinks
<a href=#completions-and-symlinks class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>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 <code>/bin</code>. Since this is (or can be?) a symlink to
<code>/usr/bin</code>, it was not marked as a directory and therefore did not
automatically add the ending slash. This has been fixed.</p><h3 id=segfaults class=heading>Segfaults
<a href=#segfaults class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>I found that when I updated my terminal of choice (<a href=https://github.com/endaaman/tym target=_blank rel=noopener>Tym</a>
) for the new
daemon feature, Hilbish would sometimes segfault on startup. This is due
to it getting a resize event on startup while <code>bait</code> was not initialized
yet.</p><h3 id=api-fixes class=heading>API Fixes
<a href=#api-fixes class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><ul><li>The <code>hilbish.which</code> function works with aliases.</li><li><code>hilbish.completion.files</code> and <code>hilbish.completion.bins</code> will no longer
cause a panic with all empty arguments passed.</li></ul><h2 id=next-release class=heading>Next Release
<a href=#next-release class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h2><p>Stay tuned for the v2.2 release, which will have a bigger set of features
and maybe some more bug fixes!</p></div></div></main><footer class="footer mt-auto mt-auto py-3 bg-light row border-top"><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"><a href=/Hilbish class="d-flex align-items-center mb-3 link-dark text-decoration-none"><img src=/Hilbish/hilbish-logo-and-text.png alt height=48 class="d-inline-block align-text-top" style=margin-left:-20px></a><ul class="nav flex-column"><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Home</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish/docs/faq class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">FAQ</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Source</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/releases class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Releases</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish/docs class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Documentation</a></li></ul></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"><p class="text-muted mt-4">Rosettea &copy; 2022-2023<br>Made with <i class="fa-solid fa-heart" style=color:#f6345b></i></p></div><div class="col mb-3"></div></footer></body></html>
