I've released fish 1.21.11.

This release contains a very long series of patches to improve how
well fish works under non-linux platforms, mostly Solaris and the
BSDs. Many of these patches where written by Netocrat, those that
wheren't are still based on bug reports and suggested solutions from
him. Because I am lazy and forgetful, the changelog does not properly
attribute all these changes to him, but there is a very long sequence
of compatibility updates in the Changelog, and pretty much all of them
originate from him. Many of these changes are to the build system,
things like defining preprocessor macros to put the compiler and
libraries in Posix mode, etc., but there are also a number of bugfixes
and other code changes. A few of these fix bugs present on all
systems.

This release also expands the french translation. The previous french
translation had character set issues (which where my fault) which are
now fixed. Thanks to Xavier Douville for providing both the original
translation and this expanded version.

This release also finally removes a longstanding and rather silly
limit. Previously, the fish completion pager was given the completions
to display as regular commandline arguments. This meant that there was
an upper limit to the number of completions that could be displayed,
which, of course is a bad thing. The combined efforts of Mike O'Connor
and myself has resulted in a patch that makes the pager read its
argument through a pipe instead, removing such limits.

The .spec file for building fish RPMs has also been improved thanks to
some very helpful suggestions from the fedora-extras mailing list.

As usual, there are also several minor bugfixes and tweaks. Here are a
few of the user-visible tweaks:

* There is a horizontal ruler separating the documentation for each
command/builtin in the help pages to make navigation a bit easier.
(Thanks, Philip)
* Help now tells you what external browser is used to display help
when using external browsers. (Thanks Martin)
* Support for \a \v and \f backslash escapes (Thanks Martin)
