The documentation furnished herein corresponds to stable version 1.1.0, released on 2022-11-28. Any reference to a newer feature which does not yet form part of the latest tagged commit, is explicitly marked as such. Current development target is 1.2.0-dev. ## Recent NEWS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHANGE LOG OF ALTCAPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This document contains the release notes for each tagged commit on the project's main git repository: <https://git.sr.ht/~protesilaos/altcaps>. The newest release is at the top. For further details, please consult the manual: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/altcaps>. 1.1.0 on 2022-11-28 ═══════════════════ New user option ─────────────── Introduced the user option `altcaps-force-character-casing'. It forces the given letter casing for specified characters. Its value is an alist of `(CHARACTER . CASE)' pairs. `CHARACTER' is a single character (satisfies the `characterp' condition), while `CASE' is the `upcase' or `downcase' symbol (code sample further below). The idea is to always render certain characters in lower or upper case, in consideration of their legibility in context. For example, the default altcaps algorithm produces this: ┌──── │ iLlIcIt IlLiBeRaL sIlLiNeSs └──── Whereas if the value of this variable declares `i' to always be lowercase and `L' uppercase, then we get this: ┌──── │ iLLiCiT iLLiBeRaL siLLiNeSs └──── The code to do this: ┌──── │ (setq altcaps-force-character-casing │ '((?i . downcase) │ (?l . upcase))) └──── Thanks to Cédric Barreteau for the idea of forcing a given letter case on specified characters. I think that giving users the option keeps our code simple, while providing a useful point of customisation. Cédric is the author of the nvim-altcaps, which is a plugin for NeoVim based on my `altcaps' idea: <https://github.com/cbarrete/nvim-altcaps>. Improvements to documentation ───────────────────────────── ⁃ Wrote a `README.md' which contains basic information about the project, including links to the official Git repos, its mirrors on GitHub/GitLab, as well as the project's mailing list. This file is useful for Git forges that have trouble parsing an Org file (the manual is `README.org', which the GNU ELPA machinery converts into a proper Info manual). ⁃ Added missing index entries to the manual for our commands and the new user option. ⁃ Wrote this very `CHANGELOG.org', which is helpful for those who inspect the Git repository.
