It's too difficult to maintain install instructions in the FAQ
and possibly out of the scope of the project.
Also make it obvious that fisherman is designed for fish >= 2.3.0
and that users using fish 2.2.0 need to add conf.d support to their
~/.config/fish/config.fish for snippet support.
A lot has changed, in fact, fisherman as you knew it, is
no longer with us. Let me explain. The new fisherman, is
in fact a rewired clone of ``fin´´, a short-lived 2 week
experiment that started because it was easier to rewrite
everything than moving fisherman forward.
Let me explain. I was longing for a lightweight, simpler
fisherman with minimal maintanance cost. This fin lad is
one of the most pragmatic pieces of code I've ever written,
but attempting to maintain two drastically different plugin
managers was not a sane decision. fin's goal was to get out
of my way and let me be productive with fish and it did.
Now fin is fisherman and fisherman is fin. The most notable
change is that fisherman no longer depends on an index, so
like fin, it's neutral and agnostic to what plugins you use.
No index means fisherman completions are no longer as clever
as to show you description of plugins, but you will still get
enough information to know whether the plugin is a theme or not.
I hope you always check the plugin's README / online docs before
installing anything anyway.
With the index gone, we had no use for ``search``, so this command
is also gone.
If you were using search often or depended on the removed features
above, I am afraid they are gone *gone*, but trust me it's all for
the very best.
Now, with this out of the way, it's all unicorns and dartfish. Almost.
To upgrade to fisherman 2.0.0 you need to REMOVE your current version
of fisherman:
1. ```rm -rf "$fisher_home" "$fisher_config"```
2. Open your config.fish and remove the fisherman initialization code.
3. ```exec fish < /dev/tty``` to reload the session.
4. Run `curl -Lo ~/.config/fish/functions/fisher.fish --create-dirs git.io/fisherman`
That's it. Probably.
The new fisherman brings a lot more stability and maturity to the
project and we need this change in order to move forward. I will
be actively fixing any bugs that may have sneaked in during the
```fin->fisherman``` rewiring, but please do ping me:
@bucaran on GitHub or directly to my email j@bucaran.me
if you find anything out of place. Feel free and invited to go
wild with issues in order to get this into shape ASAP.
Cheers!
* Add Chinese translation of README
* Add navigation links between English and Chinese document.
* Fix incorrect fishfile reference that should actually point to dotfiles.
Notable changes:
+ Now fisher list does not show plugins that are disabled,
but available in the cache. To preview these items use
fisher list --disabled.
+ Welcome aboard @orangecms and @xrain0610.
+ Fisherman is now available in AUR, thanks @orangecms.
+ Fix load order during installation. Now snippets can
safely invoke functions defined in the plugin function
directory. Thanks @orangecms. #170.
+ Fisherman **installs and updates plugins ⌁concurrently**.
Performance may vary, but if you can see 5 to 10 times
faster network times, it's working well.
* Fix bug in fisher_config_color_reset not declaring path variable.
* Silence Git checkout standard error to prevent update failures in some edge cases.
* Revise and correct errors in the documentation and README.
* Add more instrumentation to fisher_plugin_disable.
* Minor doc updates.
* Deprecate fisher --list in favor of a new command
fisher list. The behavior is roughly the same. See
fisher help list for usage. tl;dr: Use list to query
the local system / cache and search to query the index.
* Teach fisher_plugin_walk about fish_postexec,
fish_command_not_found and fish_preexec event emitters
and erase them during uninstall if they were defined in
a snippet.
* Fisherman now recognizes the following aliases by default:
i for install, u for update, l for list, s for search and
h for help.
* Rewrite documentation to be simpler and more consistent.
* Fisherman can install "functions" now. If you have created
a function interactively, you can run fisher install name
of the function and a directory will be created in
$PWD/name of the function and installed as usual.
* Fisherman now detects if users have modified their fish
prompt using fish_config and if so, uninstalls $fisher_prompt.
* Search results now truncate plugin descriptions based in
the width of the terminal screen.
* Install/Update/Uninstall CLI was retouched.
Looking behind and Ahead
========================
On Jan, 1st, Fisherman 0.1.0 departed from the bay of
"my hard drive" and today 1.0.0 has finally shipped.
Things are still a little rough and knotty, what did
you think? But 1.0.0 means all the basic things are
here.
Internally, we may still push some large changes, more
robust tests; at ~300 there are still areas a bit dry.
On the outside, Fisherman will change little, I hope.
That's a feature. If you want a more colorful CLI,
concurrent updates, or another bit here and there,
we may work something out.
This release means more time to focus on the plugin
ecosystem, but the adventures are far from over.
