fish-shell 3.1.0 was just released today with many niceties (including
the ability to have bash-like temporary env vars e.g. `VAR="var1"
command` instead of needing to use `env VAR="var1" command`). To see the
full list of changes, please visit
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/tag/3.1.0.
"`^` as a redirection deprecated and will be removed in the future."
(see the changelog, under the 3.0b1 release)
The latest fish beta release (3.1b1 as of time of writing) errors when
encountering `^&1` (though the fact it is now an error has yet to be
documented by them). The plugin was updated last year to account for
this change, and with the "imminent" release of fish-shell v3.1, this
should be fixed.
The expression claimed there are differences between the release tarball and the tarball github packages from the tag but fetchFromGitHub literally downloads the same tarball.
Fish 3.0 has an updated an more robust handling of unicode glyphs. Per
the original author of the INTERNAL_WCWIDTH flag, it was something of
misfeature, and they regret that NixOS came to rely on it.
Removes the flag from the Nix expression.
Flag was added originally to Nixpkgs in 68076b7d49
It is being removed entirely from upstream fish:
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/5777.
This is important when typing characters such as ⚡(U+26A1 HIGH VOLTAGE
SIGN), otherwise fish computes a different character width than the
terminal. See https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4816
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
All the programs provided by ncurses were being installed to the $dev
output, but several of them are intended for runtime use, e.g. to
operate on the running terminal. These user-facing programs are moved to
the $bin output.
Several packages referred to "${ncurses}/bin" or "${ncurses.dev}/bin" at
runtime; these paths are also updated to refer to "${ncurses.bin}/bin".
* Patched fish to load /etc/fish/config.fish if it exists (by default,
it only loads config relative to itself)
* Added fish-foreign-env package to parse the system environment
closes#5331
Currently, fish does not depend on python27 which is necessary for many
of the built in commands such as the manpage completion generator and
the web configuration sevice. This patch adds support for python27 as
well as man_db for the manpage completion generator. It also attempts to
replace more shell functions with binaries contained in the nix store.
