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`
Prevent next-buffer, other-buffer, etc. from choosing useless buffers.
No need for spacemacs/next-useful-buffer,
spacemacs/previous-useful-buffer anymore.
Also fix spacemacs/alternate-buffer to respect buffer-predicate.
When spacemacs-layouts is used, buffer-predicate filters useful buffer
that belong to the current layout.
Bugs that make Spacemacs unusable can't be reported from inside Spacemacs, so I added a direct link to the template used by `SPC h I`. The link is to the file in develop branch, and not master, because I assume it will be more up-to-date than master.
I recently uninstalled railwaycat's emacs-mac-port (the old
recommendation for OS X) and installed @d12frosted's emacs-plus.
When I did that my powerline separators became just slightly off in
color from the rest of the spaceline. Asking on chat yielded that
ns-use-srgb-colorspace is set to true by default but should be nil.
