Can force a check with the universal prefix argument, for instance:
SPC u SPC SPC spacemacs/check-for-new-version
will always check for a new version even if not on master branch.
Once per 24 hours by default.
Caveat: if a new version is detected on the current instance of Emacs
and Emacs is restarted before the end of the 24 hours window then
the new version lighter in the modeline disappear; i.e. we don't
remember the last check results.
Fixes#6692
TL;DR Should get 20~25% speed improvement on startup, should get a big
improvement when using ivy or helm SPC h SPC. Users with layers.el files
in their layers must use `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer`
instead of `configuration-layer/declare-layer`
The implementation of the layer system made heavy use of `object-assoc`
and `object-assoc-list` functions which are not efficient. This PR
mainly replaces those object lists with hash maps in order to index the
objects by their name and achieve an O(1) access time.
The old object lists `configuration-layer--layers` and
`configuration-layer--packages` have been each by two variables each:
- `configuration-layer--indexed-layers` which is a hash-map of all the
layer objects and `configuration-layer--used-layers` which is a list of
all _used_ layers symbols,
- symmetrically `configuration-layer--indexed-packages` which is a
hash-map of all the package objects and
`configuration-layer--used-packages` which is a list of all _used_
packages symbols.
The hash map `configuration-layer--layer-paths` is gone, now we create
directly layer objects when discovering the layers and set the :dir
property. Note that previously the layer paths were the parent directory
of the layer, now :dir is the layer path.
The function `configuration-layer//make-layer` is now similar to its
counterpart `configuration-layer//make-package` in the sense that it
takes an optional `obj` to be able to override its properties.
The functions `configuration-layer/declare-layer` and
`configuration-layer/declare-layers` now takes an optional parameter
`usedp` in order to declare used or not used layers. For convenience
new functions have been added: `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer`
and `configuration-layer/declare-used-layers`, users _must_ update all
occurrences of `configuration-layer/declare-layer` by
`configuration-layer/declare-used-layers` in their `layers.el` files.
`helm-spacemacs-help` and `ivy-spacemacs-help` are updated to match the
changes in `core-configuration-layer.el`.
Rename some variables to make them more explicit:
`configuration-layer-no-layer` -> `configuration-layer-exclude-all-layers`
`configuration-layer-distribution` -> `configuration-layer-force-distribution`
Choose to inherit from face lazy-highlight instead of region.
Ideally a theme should not set lazy-highlight to the same face as
region.
Also move some function to funcs.el and remove some empty lines.
Providing a min-version allows to fetch the elpa version of a built-in
package. For intance to install python mode from GNU elpa, add to
the dotspacemacs-additional-packages:
(python :location elpa :min-version "0.25.2")
This feels weird to set as default a variable using a third-party
service like Dropbox. Was OK when Spacemacs was less popular, now this
variable has nothing to do in this project.
- make it clear that setting dotspacemacs-default-font has no effect in
terminal
- make it clear that it's user responsibility to install Source Code Pro
font
Random banner choice was broken by the presence of the `img` directory.
Even if `random` was set instead of `random*` in .spacemacs file the
cate banner would still show.
This commit fixes this bug while simplifying the existing code by adding
a regexp filter to only choose "*.txt" files.
Previous behavior, if a micro-state binding had :doc not nil, was an error
Wrong type argument: stringp, 1
Detailed reproduction:
cat > /tmp/test.el <<EOF
(spacemacs|define-micro-state test
:doc "[a] a [b] b [q] quit"
:bindings
("a" nil :doc "a")
("b" nil :doc "b")
("q" nil :doc "quit" :exit t))
(spacemacs/test-micro-state)
EOF
emacs --load /tmp/test.el
Type a, b, or q and see the error in the echo buffer.
With this new variable, user can load spacemacs anywhere, e.g.
"~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/". Only user's cache directory is still hard-coded
as "~/.emacs.d/.cache/". If user want to use spacemacs this way, drop
one line as the below in "~/.emacs.d/init.el":
(setq spacemacs-start-directory "~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/")
(load-file (concat spacemacs-start-directory "init.el"))
Helm-flx, which is included as a core package, requires a minimum Emacs
version of 24.4. As it stands attempting to install Spacemacs on Emacs
24.3 or below will break on helm-flx.
Old implementation excluded package that were not selected, this
implementation does not excluded them, it simply ignore it in the
layer where they are not selected. This reimplementation comes from
a refactor of the way packages.el files are loaded, instead of loading
these files at the moment of resolving the list of used packages, they
are now loaded when making the layer objects. A neat consequence is that
side effects is better confined and the configuration-layer/get-packages
is now pure (at least a lot more pure than before).
In the `cfgl-layer` class the slot `:user-packages` has been renamed
to `:selected-packages` which defaults to `'all` meaning that all
the packages in `:packages` are selected. `:selected-packages` value
is given by the new function `configuration-layer//select-packages`.
Effectively selected packages are given by a new method for `cfgl-layer`
class called `cfgl-layer-get-packages`.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes.
Also documentation on configuration layer declaration in the dotfile
section of DOCUMENTATION.org has been greatly improved (I hope) and
reflect the last feature added to the
`dotspacemacs-configuration-layers` list.
I had a duplicated layer, but the message that's printed broke spacemacs starting up because it was a format string but wasn't in a `format` form. Simple fix. Spacemacs works again! Yay!
This issue was introduced in c0851ddcb3, according to a quick `git bisect`. :)
The car of :owners is the real owner.
Now we can easily gather the list of all owners of a package.
Also fix unit tests about missing spacemacs-insecure variable.
Revert "Parse CLI args after dotspacemacs/init"
This reverts commit 0a35502de4.
We cannot delay the parsing of CLI params since we need their values
early during the loading process (i.e. debug info).
Replace the previous commit with a new variable `spacemacs-insecure`
which takes the value of --insecure boolean parameter.
* layers/+spacemacs/spacemacs-editing/packages.el (spacemacs-editing/init-origami):
add origami package and initialize it
* core/core-dotspacemacs.el (dotspacemacs-override-evil-folding): new
variable to allow choosing between different code folding methods.
Currently supported `evil' and `origami'
- Use completing-read when called interactively
- Check for string locations in addition to built-in etc.
- Don’t double-princ on/off for toggles
- Bind to SPC hdP
This new variable replace dotspacemacs-delete-orphan-packages
It defines the behaviour of Spacemacs when downloading packages.
Possible values are `used', `used-but-keep-unused' and `all'.
- `used' will download only explicitly used packages and remove any
unused packages as well as their dependencies.
- `used-but-keep-unused' will download only the used packages but won't
delete them if they become unused.
- `all' will download all the packages regardless if they are used or
not and packages won't be deleted by Spacemacs.
Default value is `used`.
The new layer file `layers.el` is used to declared additional layers.
It is like the sibling of packages.el except that for now it does not
take a list (can do this in a futur commit).
The new order for file loading is the following:
layers.el > packages.el > funcs.el > config.el > keybindings.el
Since packages.el relies on some undefined stuff encapsulated
in init functions, it is not meant to be byte compiled. OTOH funcs.el
(where lies most of the computation added by a package config) should
be compilable.
Since we load packages.el very early it is not possible to use
`configuration-layer/package-usedp` in funcs.el.
This commit also fixes the tests.
Add argument `action` as first positional argument, the second
positonal argument is for tests.
Add actions `doc` and `config`, doc works on org files and config works
on configuration file like packages.el.
The special action `all` performs all actions.
Move test files to `test` sub-folder.
Choose between `md5sum` and `md5` (on OS X) executables.
Add a new formatting function `move-packages-to-config` to move
package lists to config.el file.
Change the semantic of the files for a better control over the
configuration (like being able to use package-usedp function to
guard package configuration and function definition).
This is a big change!
The list of packages of the layer must now be placed in config.el
packages.el only contains pre-init, init and post-init functions
Now both packages.el and funcs.el can use
configuration-layer/package-usedp which is much more powerful than
just configuration-layer/layer-usedp.
Also merging into one file the layer variable and the list of packages
make sense (in this case config.el).
It also means that we can quickly load all the packages declared in
all layer for helm and ivy sources by just loading the config.el file.
Expect some regressions introduced by this change, like the helm
and ivy sources, they will be fixed in other commits.
This commit introduces two new options to add-toggle:
:prefix, a symbol that is bound to the raw prefix argument (as
in `(interactive "P") forms).
:on-message, an expression overriding the default 'on' toggle
message (useful to document a toggle's argument).
These new options are applied to long-lines' toggle, so we can choose
how many lines to toggle it on via a raw prefix argument.
Visiting the dump file before writing to it is slow, because it triggers
all the regular actions that happen when a user opens a file, e.g.
enable major mode and minor modes. We don't need all that,
with-temp-file is what we really want.
spacemacs/report-issue opens a buffer prepopulated with a template and some
system information. The buffer is markdown-mode augmented with a keybinding to
send the contents to github.
Or if that doesn't work, the text remains in the buffer to be manually copied
and pasted. This makes the error reporting more robust: right after the user has
experienced one bug is the worst time to manifest another one.
This commit also rewrites spacemacs//describe-last-keys-string because I
couldn't figure out how else to prevent view-lossage from burying the new
REPORT_SPACEMACS_ISSUE buffer. Suggestions welcome.
--no-layer: desactive all the layers except the distribution layer
--distribution: allow the change temporarily the distribution
example
Start emacs with spacemacs-base and no layers:
emacs --no-layer --distribution spacemacs-base
Add test mode: {repo-root}/core/tools/doc-fmt/run.bash test
applies formatting only to {repo-root}/core/tools/doc-fmt/test.org
Use "gsed" if present.
Add new filters, refactor code.
test.org now represents most of the .org file formatting errors.
If emacs is launched with -q option and spacemacs files are loaded via
--eval option, then spacemacs fails due to depending `after-init-time'
variable being set properly which is done only when emacs is launched
without -q. This patch is to remove this dependence so that spacemacs
launched with -q can still work. This is done by introducing
`spacemacs-initialized' variable which is set properly regardless of
which command line options are present or absent.
New package :step 'bootstrap', this step happens before 'pre' packages.
A new layer names 'spacemacs-bootstrap' gather all the ':step bootstrap'
packages. This layer is special and is always the first element of
the variable 'configuration-layer--layers' which assure that all
bootstrap packages are configured first.
This new layer leverages the configuration layer system, removes the
clutter of package installations in the function 'spacemacs/init' and
isolate the bootstrap packages in one place.
