1. Dotfile It is now possible to reload the dotfile and layers anywhere with `SPC f e R`. This key binding *replaces* the old `C-c C-c` and `SPC m c c` only available in the dotfile. *Important* You should replace your `(defvar -packages ...)`, `(defvar -pre-extensions ...)`, `(defvar -post-extensions ...)` and `(defvar -excluded-packages ...)` by `(setq ...)`. This will allow to install newly added packages to a layer without restarting spacemacs by pressing `SPC f e R`. Be sure to remove the docstring when replacing the `defvar` since `setq` does not take a third argument. `:variables` keyword now behaves like a regular `setq` so you'll have to quote any value appropriately. 2. Emacs lisp and Shell config are now in their own layers Be sure to add the new layers `emacs-lisp` and `shell` to your dotfile to continue to enjoy the emacs-lisp and shell configurations of Spacemacs. Also be sure to check the key binding `SPC '` to open a shell buffer. 3. Key bindings `SPC b s` to switch buffer is now on `SPC b b`. `SPC f f` uses helm instead of ido, set the new variable. `dotspacemacs-use-ido` to t to get back the old ido behavior. `TAB` and `C-z` in helm buffers have been *swapped*. 4. Sentence delimiter Sentence delimiter is now a *single space* as opposed to Emacs default which is double spaces.
