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) -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
