./shells/fish, User friendly command line shell for UNIX-like operating systems

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.7.1, Package name: fish-3.7.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

fish is a user friendly command line shell for UNIX-like operating
systems, written mainly with interactive use in mind. It differs
from other shells in that it only provides as few commands as
built-ins as possible and has a daemon which allows it to have
shared variables and command-line history between shell instances.
It also features feature-rich tab-completion and has command-line
syntax highlighting.

fish: remove remnants of terminfo hack

I needed this for an issue that appeared in netbsd-current's binutils but
when updating to the latest, this terminfo hack is no longer necessary.

fish: update to 3.7.0.

fish 3.7.0 (released January 1, 2024)
=====================================

This release of fish includes a number of improvements over fish 3.6.4, detailed \ 
below. Although work continues on the porting of fish internals to the Rust \ 
programming language, that work is not included in this release. fish 3.7.0 and \ 
any future releases in the 3.7 series remain C++ programs.

Notable improvements and fixes
------------------------------
- Improvements to the history pager, including:

  - The history pager will now also attempt subsequence matches (:issue:`9476`), \ 
so you can find a command line like ``git log 3.6.1..Integration_3.7.0`` by \ 
searching for ``gitInt``.
  - Opening the history pager will now fill the search field with a search \ 
string if you're already in a search (:issue:`10005`). This makes it nicer to \ 
search something with :kbd:`↑` and then later decide to switch to the full \ 
pager.
  - Closing the history pager with enter will now copy the search text to the \ 
commandline if there was no match, so you can continue editing the command you \ 
tried to find right away (:issue:`9934`).

- Performance improvements for command completions and globbing, where supported \ 
by the operating system, especially on slow filesystems such as NFS \ 
(:issue:`9891`, :issue:`9931`, :issue:`10032`, :issue:`10052`).
- fish can now be configured to wait a specified amount of time for a multi-key \ 
sequence to be completed,  instead of waiting indefinitely. For example, this \ 
makes binding ``kj`` to switching modes in vi mode possible.
  The timeout can be set via the new :envvar:`fish_sequence_key_delay_ms` \ 
variable (:issue:`7401`), and may be set by default in future versions.

Deprecations and removed features
---------------------------------
- ``LS_COLORS`` is no longer set automatically by the ``ls`` function \ 
(:issue:`10080`). Users
  that set ``.dircolors`` should manually import it using other means. Typically \ 
this would be ``set -gx LS_COLORS (dircolors -c .dircolors | string split ' \ 
')[3]``

Scripting improvements
----------------------
- Running ``exit`` with a negative number no longer crashes fish (:issue:`9659`).
- ``fish --command`` will now return a non-zero status if parsing failed \ 
(:issue:`9888`).
- The ``jobs`` builtin will now escape the commands it prints (:issue:`9808`).
- ``string repeat`` no longer overflows if the count is a multiple of the chunk \ 
size (:issue:`9900`).
- The ``builtin`` builtin will now properly error out with invalid arguments \ 
instead of doing nothing and returning true (:issue:`9942`).
- ``command time`` in a pipeline is allowed again, as is ``command and`` and \ 
``command or`` (:issue:`9985`).
- ``exec`` will now also apply variable overrides, so ``FOO=bar exec`` will now \ 
set ``$FOO`` correctly (:issue:`9995`).
- ``umask`` will now handle empty symbolic modes correctly, like ``umask \ 
u=,g=rwx,o=`` (:issue:`10177`).
- Improved error messages for errors occurring in command substitutions \ 
(:issue:`10054`).

Interactive improvements
------------------------
- ``read`` no longer enables bracketed paste so it doesn't stay enabled in \ 
combined commandlines like ``mysql -p(read --silent)`` (:issue:`8285`).
- Vi mode now uses :envvar:`fish_cursor_external` to set the cursor shape for \ 
external commands (:issue:`4656`).
- Opening the history search in vi mode switches to insert mode correctly \ 
(:issue:`10141`).
- Vi mode cursor shaping is now enabled in iTerm2 (:issue:`9698`).
- Working directory reporting is enabled for iTerm2 (:issue:`9955`).
- Completing commands as root includes commands not owned by root, fixing a \ 
regression introduced in fish 3.2.0 (:issue:`9699`).
- Selection uses ``fish_color_selection`` for the foreground and background \ 
colors, as intended, rather than just the background (:issue:`9717`).
- The completion pager will no longer sometimes skip the last entry when moving \ 
through a long list (:issue:`9833`).
- The interactive ``history delete`` interface now allows specifying index \ 
ranges like "1..5" (:issue:`9736`), and ``history delete --exact`` now \ 
properly saves the history (:issue:`10066`).
- Command completion will now call the stock ``manpath`` on macOS, instead of a \ 
potential Homebrew version. This prevents awkward error messages \ 
(:issue:`9817`).
- A new bind function ``history-pager-delete``, bound to :kbd:`Shift` + \ 
:kbd:`Delete` by default, will delete the currently-selected history pager item \ 
from history (:issue:`9454`).
- ``fish_key_reader`` will now use printable characters as-is, so pressing \ 
"ö" no longer leads to it telling you to bind ``\u00F6`` \ 
(:issue:`9986`).
- ``open`` can be used to launch terminal programs again, as an ``xdg-open`` bug \ 
has been fixed and a workaround has been removed  (:issue:`10045`).
- The ``repaint-mode`` binding will now only move the cursor if there is \ 
repainting to be done. This fixes :kbd:`Alt` combination bindings in vi mode \ 
(:issue:`7910`).
- A new ``clear-screen`` bind function is used for :kbd:`Ctrl` + :kbd:`l` by \ 
default. This clears the screen and repaints the existing prompt at first,
  so it eliminates visible flicker unless the terminal is very slow (:issue:`10044`).
- The ``alias`` convenience function has better support for commands with \ 
unusual characters, like ``+`` (:issue:`8720`).
- A longstanding issue where items in the pager would sometimes display without \ 
proper formatting has been fixed (:issue:`9617`).
- The :kbd:`Alt` + :kbd:`l` binding, which lists the directory of the token \ 
under the cursor, correctly expands tilde (``~``) to the home directory \ 
(:issue:`9954`).
- Various fish utilities that use an external pager will now try a selection of \ 
common pagers if the :envvar:`PAGER` environment variable is not set, or write \ 
the output to the screen without a pager if there is not one available \ 
(:issue:`10074`).
- Command-specific tab completions may now offer results whose first character \ 
is a period. For example, it is now possible to tab-complete ``git add`` for \ 
files with leading periods. The default file completions hide these files, \ 
unless the token itself has a leading period (:issue:`3707`).

Improved prompts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The default theme now only uses named colors, so it will track the terminal's \ 
palette (:issue:`9913`).
- The Dracula theme has now been synced with upstream (:issue:`9807`); use \ 
``fish_config`` to re-apply it to pick up the changes.
- ``fish_vcs_prompt`` now also supports fossil (:issue:`9497`).
- Prompts which display the working directory using the ``prompt_pwd`` function \ 
correctly display directories beginning with dashes (:issue:`10169`).

Completions
^^^^^^^^^^^
- Added completions for:

  - ``age`` and ``age-keygen`` (:issue:`9813`)
  - ``airmon-ng`` (:issue:`10116`)
  - ``ar`` (:issue:`9720`)
  - ``blender`` (:issue:`9905`)
  - ``bws`` (:issue:`10165`)
  - ``calendar`` (:issue:`10138`)
  - ``checkinstall`` (:issue:`10106`)
  - ``crc`` (:issue:`10034`)
  - ``doctl``
  - ``gimp`` (:issue:`9904`)
  - ``gojq`` (:issue:`9740`)
  - ``horcrux`` (:issue:`9922`)
  - ``ibmcloud`` (:issue:`10004`)
  - ``iwctl`` (:issue:`6884`)
  - ``java_home`` (:issue:`9998`)
  - ``krita`` (:issue:`9903`)
  - ``oc`` (:issue:`10034`)
  - ``qjs`` (:issue:`9723`)
  - ``qjsc`` (:issue:`9731`)
  - ``rename`` (:issue:`10136`)
  - ``rpm-ostool`` (:issue:`9669`)
  - ``smerge`` (:issue:`10135`)
  - ``userdel`` (:issue:`10056`)
  - ``watchexec`` (:issue:`10027`)
  - ``wpctl`` (:issue:`10043`)
  - ``xxd`` (:issue:`10137`)
  - ``zabbix`` (:issue:`9647`)

- The ``zfs`` completions no longer print errors about setting a read-only \ 
variable (:issue:`9705`).
- The ``kitty`` completions have been removed in favor of keeping them upstream \ 
(:issue:`9750`).
- ``git`` completions now support aliases that reference other aliases \ 
(:issue:`9992`).
- The ``gw`` and ``gradlew`` completions are loaded properly (:issue:`10127`).
- Improvements to many other completions.
- Improvements to the manual page completion generator (:issue:`9787`, \ 
:issue:`9814`, :issue:`9961`).

Other improvements
------------------
- Improvements and corrections to the documentation.
- The Web-based configuration now uses a more readable style when printed, such \ 
as for a keybinding reference (:issue:`9828`).
- Updates to the German translations (:issue:`9824`).
- The colors of the Nord theme better match their official style (:issue:`10168`).

For distributors
----------------
- The licensing information for some of the derived code distributed with fish \ 
was incomplete. Though the license information was present in the source \ 
distribution, it was not present in the documentation. This has been corrected \ 
(:issue:`10162`).
- The CMake configure step will now also look for libterminfo as an alternative \ 
name for libtinfo, as used in NetBSD curses (:issue:`9794`).

Log message:
fish: fix link error with new binutils on NetBSD

cur_term comes from libterminfo and newer binutils doesn't side-load it
even though libcurses is linked with libterminfo

Not sure when this became a problem but without it, netbsd-current fails
to link fish.

fish: update to 3.6.2.

fish 3.6.2 (released December 4, 2023)
======================================

This release of fish contains a security fix for CVE-2023-49284, a minor \ 
security problem identified
in fish 3.6.1 and previous versions (thought to affect all released versions of \ 
fish).

fish uses certain Unicode non-characters internally for marking wildcards and \ 
expansions. It
incorrectly allowed these markers to be read on command substitution output, \ 
rather than
transforming them into a safe internal representation.

For example, ``echo \UFDD2HOME`` has the same output as ``echo $HOME``.

While this may cause unexpected behavior with direct input, this may become a \ 
minor security problem
if the output is being fed from an external program into a command substitution \ 
where this output
may not be expected.
