Release 0.101.x (2015/04/13)

Hot new features

Choose your own editing style

Thanks to the new holy-mode Spacemacs can now be used by Vim users or Emacs users by setting the dotspacemacs-editing-style variable to 'vim or 'emacs in the dotfile. In Emacs style the leader is available on M-m. It is possible to dynamically switch between the two style with SPC P tab.

Mandatory init function and new Pre and Post init functions

A package is now considered to be used only if there is a corresponding <layer>/init-<package> function explicitly defined. There is now two new functions to initialize a given package:

  • <layer>/pre-init-<package> which is called before the init function
  • <layer>/post-init-<package> which is called after the init function

Even if a pre or post function exist for a given package, an init function is still required to consider the package to be used.

Auto-completion

Spacemacs now officially support auto-completion. The old layer company-mode has been removed and auto-complete has been removed from the spacemacs layer. They are now part of a new layer called auto-completion. You'll have to this add layer to your dotfile to enable auto-completion.

Syntax checking

Flycheck has been removed from the Spacemacs layer and moved to a new layer called syntax-checking. You'll have to add this layer to your dotfile to enable the fly syntax checking.

Org

Org packages have been removed from Spacemacs layer and moved to a new org layer. You'll have to add this layer to your dotfile to enable the Org configuration of Spacemacs.

New shortcuts in startup buffer

Recent files, project and bookmarks can be displayed on the startup buffer. Check for the new dotfile variable dotspacemacs-startup-lists. (thanks to CarlQLange)

New lighter in the mode line

Lighter letters have been updated, now the letter corresponds to the key binding to toggle the associated mode. For instance auto-completion is on ⓐ and thus can be toggled with SPC t a.

Better package update

The package update should now prevent even more errors when upgrading a batch of packages.
