fisher/CHANGELOG.md
Jorge Bucaran eae01edf51 Introducting Fisherman's official website:
www.fisherman.sh

Still a WIP. Powered by Jekyll and hosted by GitHub
pages.

* Refactor fisher install / fisher uninstall by
extracting the logic to enable / disable plugins
into __fisher_plugin. The algorithm to enable/disable
plugins is essentially the same. The only difference
is enable, copies/symlinks files and disable removes
them from $fisher_config/.... Closes #45.

* Add support for legacy oh-my-fish! plugins using
.load initialization files. Closes #35.

* Add support for Tackle Fish framework initialization
modules. Closes #35.

* Add support for plugins that share scripts in
languages like Python or Perl. For example
oh-my-fish/plugin-vi-mode assumes there is a
vi-mode-impl.py file in the same path of the running
script. This opens the door for including code
snippets in other languages.

* Any files inside a share directory, except for *.md
or *.fish files, are copied to $fisher_config/functions.
This allows you to run legacy plugins that retrieve
the currently running script path with (dirname
(status -f)) out of the box.

* A cleaner alternative is using the new $fisher_share
variable like this: python
$fisher_share/my_plugin_script.py.

* $fisher_share points to $fisher_config/share by
default, but you may change this in your user
config.fish. This path contains copies (or symbolic
links) to the same script files copied to
$fisher_config/functions.

* Introduce the $fisher_share_extensions variable to
let you customize what extensions Fisherman is aware
of. Only extensions in this array will be processed
during the install process. The default is py rb php
pl awk sed.

* .fish and .md extensions are always ignored.

* Remove ad-hoc debug d function created by mistake
in the Fisherman config.fish file. Closes #34.

* Remove almost useless fisher --alias. You can still
create aliases using $fisher_alias. It's difficult
to add auto-complete to this feature, and even if
we do so, it is slow.

* Fix bug introduced in the previous release caused
by swapping the lines that calculate the index of
the current plugin being installed/updated/uninstalled
and the line that displays the value, causing the
CLI to show incorrect values. Closes #36. Thanks
@kballard

* Add cache, enabled and disabled options to fisher
--list. Now you can type fisher -l enabled to get a
list of what plugins are currently enabled.

* Add new $fisher_plugins universal variable to keep
track of what plugins are enabled / disabled.

* Update completions after a plugin is installed,
updated or uninstalled.

* Improve autocomplete speed by removing the descriptions
from plugins installed with custom URLs.

* fisher --list displays nothing and returns 1 when
there are no plugins installed. Closes #38.

* fisher uninstall does not attempt to uninstall plugins
already disabled by looking at the $fisher_plugins
array. --force will bypass this. Closes #40

0.3.1 - 2016-01-10

This patch contains several amends for 0.3.0 and other minor documentation corrections.

  • Major documentation revision and rewrite.

  • fisher help shows fisher(1) by default now.

  • Fix a critical bug that was causing fisher uninstall --force to remove not the symbolic link, but the actual files. Closes #24

  • Rename orphan tag to custom for plugins installed using a custom URL.

  • ⚠️ Remove fisher --link flag and create symbolic links by default for local paths. The user does not have to worry about symbolic links or whether the copy is as symbolic link or not anymore. If the user tries to install a local path, then the best thing to do is to create a symbolic link. This also eliminates the need to call update.

  • ⚠️ Remove fisher --cache and fisher --validate. Now, that these options are separated into their own function and they are intentionally private, there is no need for them.

0.3.0 - 2016-01-08

This release contains several breaking changes a few major improvements. The good news is that the API is starting to look more stable and very unlikely to change drastically again in the future.

Fixes

  • Fix a critical bug in the Makefile that was incorrectly merging any existing user configuration file and the generated Fisherman configuration. Closes #21.

  • Fix a bug in install and uninstall that was adding plugin names to fishfiles instead of the URL when interacting with custom URLs. Probably closes #23.

  • Fix a bug in install, update and uninstall that was displaying an incorrect plugin count if there was at least on failure.

  • Fix bug in fisher install that causes install to fail even though it succeeds, due to wait(1)'s behavior of returning 1 if there is any output to standard error. Closes #20.

  • Fix bug in fisher uninstall that was removing plugins from the cache by mistake.

Add

  • Add feature to Makefile to download the index for the first time in order to provide auto-complete before the user can install/update/search, actions which would case the index to be updated.

  • Add link to Slack room in README. Thanks @simnalamburt.

  • Add new $fisher_timeout configuration variable that lets you specify curl(1) --max-time option. Without this, curl could hang for a long time if you are in a bad connection.

  • Add fisher install --link to allow installing plugins creating a symbolic link to each of the relevant files to be copied during the install process. If you use --link to install a plugin that is a path to a directory or file, a symbolic link to the directory will be created making local testing more convenient as you are not required to update the plugin's repository to test changes within Fisherman. If you are testing using Fishtape you do not even need to reset the shell session.

  • Add fisher --alias[=<command>=<alias>] to simplify creating new aliases for fisher commands. Use fisher --alias without arguments to list the current set of aliases. Also add auto-complete for aliases to install, update or uninstall. Note that aliases are not persisted this way. To save your aliases use $fisher_alias as described in fisher help config. Also note that aliases are only auto-complete if you call fisher --alias. To auto-complete aliases saved to $fisher_alias you can do fisher --alias (fisher --alias).

  • Add short options for new and old fisher flags:

    • --file-f
    • --list-l
    • --alias-a

Improvements

  • Improve help message for failed installs. Closes ##24. @namandistro

  • Improve fisher --validate to automatically correct common misspellings, for example when installing a oh-my-fish package, one often types ohmyifsh.

  • ☝️ Improve auto-complete performance by extracting the implementation of the different fisher flags to __fisher_* functions. completions/fisher.fish relies heavily in fisher_search to query what plugins are available to install/update/uninstall. In this process, numerous calls to fisher --list and fisher --validate, etc., are made. Now, auto-complete does not have to pay the penalty of entering fisher, parsing options, etc. Closes #27. @namandistro

  • Improve fisher --help output and show up until now poorly documented --list, --file, etc. flags consistently. Also display available commands after make install to improve usability.

  • Improve fisher install so that it checks whether the plugin you are trying to install, if it is already in the cache, is a symbolic link or not, and installs it as if the --link flag was specified.

  • Improve fisher --validate to retrieve the absolute path to the closest directory of the given items if they are valid local paths. Related #19.

  • Improve install to not git clone local plugins if a regular path/to/file is given to fisher install. Instead, copy to the cache using cp(1) and if --link is used, create a symlink.

  • Improve fisher --validate to invalidate items with repeated . and - and allow items that begin with / or ./ to support installing plugins from local paths. Related #19.

⚠️ Remove / Rename

  • Modify fisher update default behavior. Now this command updates Fisherman by default. Use of --self and --me is also deprecated. To read from the standard input use a dash -. For example: fisher --list | fisher update -. See Usage of dash in place of a filename. Closes #25.

  • Rename --cache to more descriptive --list. Thanks @colstrom.

  • Remove fisher --cache=base and make it return the base names of all directories in the path by default. To get the full path use printf printf "$fisher_cache/%s" (fisher --list)

  • Rename undocumented fisher --translate flag (again) to fisher --cache. This function reads the standard input for a name, URL or local path and calculates the plugin's path relative to the cache. For a name this is simple $fisher_cache/<name> for an URL, retrieve the remote URL of every repository until there is a match with the given URL and return the path in the cache of that repository. Finally, if the input is a local path of the form file:/// it will pass it as is.

  • Revert #3. The reason getopts.fish was in its own file originally is because @bucaran wanted a standalone, dependency free cli parser solution, arguably slightly faster than having Awk read getopts.awk for each use. The performance improvement is negligible at best, but getopts is also used by every single command and future commands and plugins are very likely to use it as well, so we might as well use the slightly faster version.

0.2.0 - 2016-01-05

  • Improve README, added links to screencasts, updated documentation with new changes and fixed other typos and composition errors.

  • ⚠️ Remove fisher update --cache in favor of fisher --list | fisher update and fisher uninstall --all in favor of fisher --list | fisher uninstall.

  • ⚠️ Fisherman does not move initialization / configuration files following the convention name.config.fish to $fisher_config/functions, but to $fisher_config/conf.d now and evaluates each *.config.fish inside at shell start as usual. Closes #13.

  • Add fisher --cache[=base] option to retrieve contents in $fisher_cache, eliminating flaky usage of find(1). Closes #11.

  • Fisherman now generates information about plugins installed via custom URLs. For the description, a shortened version of the URL is used. For the URL the full URL is used. For tags, the URL is fuzzily checked and tags such as theme, plugin, config and omf are added. The tag orphan custom is added by default as well. Finally, the author is generated by retrieving the e-mail or username of the author of the first commit in the plugin's repository. Closes #9 and #14.

  • Change --path-in-cache to --translate. This function translates an name or supported URL/URL variation into a path inside $fisher_cache. This allows you to treat plugins installed via custom URLs almost like regular plugins if they are installed. Closes #8.

  • Fix a bug where mktemp would fail in some systems. Closes #7. Thanks @tobywf.

  • Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT. Closes #6.

  • Fisherman can now unload themes within the same shell, without having to restart the session. Closes #5.

  • Fisherman can now load themes within the same shell, without having to restart the session using exec fish. Shoddy themes, for example those failing to declare global variables with the -g flag still require the session to be reset. See related. Closes #4.

  • Move getopts implementation to share/getopts.awk. Closes #3.

  • Support dots inside URIs in fisher --validate. Closes #2.

  • Refactor and improve tests for install, update and uninstall.

0.1.0 - 2016-01-01

  • Initial commit.
