Raw Blame History

Release 0.105.x

0.105.0

IMPORTANT - Breaking changes

  • SPC l for avy-goto-line is now under SPC y. SPC l is for spacemacs layouts.
  • SPC a p is now for list-processed and SPC a P for proced, paradox is now on SPC a k.
  • SPC s l is now used to bring back last search buffer and SPC s j is for jumping into a file using imenu.
  • Projectile: caching is now disabled by default, while it should not break anything if you have some functions relying on caching being enabled be sure to activate it explicitly in your dotfile with (setq projectile-enable-caching t).
  • Git: new key bindings scheme using evil-magit package. If you want to continue to use the old evilified bindings add evil-magit package to the dotspacemacs-excluded-packages variable of your dotfile.
  • Ruby: the default major mode is now the Emacs built-in ruby-mode. If you want to continue to use enh-ruby-mode set the layer variable ruby-enable-enh-ruby-mode to t.

IMPORTANT - Breaking changes

  • org-plus-contrib is now installed from org ELPA repository, you may encounter strange behaviours from Org. In this case delete the org directory in the elpa directory and restart Emacs.

  • Helm key bindings have been slightly adjusted:

    • in helm-find-files (SPC f f): now C-h move up a directory and C-l enter the selected directory. describe-key command is available on C-S-h
    • in other helm buffers C-h is used to go to the next source and C-l is the same as RET. describe-key command is also available on C-S-h.
  • Y has been remapped to y$
  • The bookmark saved file has been moved to the .cache directory, if you have a bookmark file ~/.emacs.d/bookmarks then you'll have to move it to ~/.emacs.d/.cache/bookmarks
  • Ruby on Rails framework has now its own layer called ruby-on-rails, be sure to add this layer to your dotfile if you use RoR.
  • Django framework has now its own layer called django, be sure to add this layer to your dotfile if you use it.
  • guide-key has been replaced by which-key, you may encounter issues if you have some guide-key custom configuration, remove any guide-key configuration and check the options offered by which-key.

Other important notes

  • All layers have been moved to layers directory
  • Category folder prefix has been changed to + (was !)
  • spacemacs layer has been moved to the layers directory in the category +distribution
  • All extensions directories have been renamed to local. extensions directories will be deprecated in 0.105.0.
  • tromey ELPA repository has been removed (thanks to robbyoconnor)

Hot new features

  • Enhanced layer package lists which merge old extension lists and package lists. Keywords can be associated with packages. The supported keywords are :location, :step and :excluded. extensions.el files and <layer>-excluded-packages variables are now optional and will be deprecated in the next version 0.105.0.
  • New distribution concept: you can now choose between two distributions: spacemacs or spacemacs-base. spacemacs-base contains only a minimal set of packages whereas spacemacs is the full Spacemacs experience. Set the distribution with dotspacemacs-distribution variable.
  • Add support for Quelpa which allows to use Melpa recipes to install packages directly from source (i.e. one can now install a package directly from a Github repository).
  • New editing style: hybrid. This style is similar to Vim style except that all Emacs key bindings are available in hybrid (insert) state instead of Vim key bindings. Also in this state, the buffers are evilified like in Vim style.
  • The default theme of Spacemacs is now spacemacs-dark. The Spacemacs themes (spacemacs-dark and spacemacs-light) become the official themes of Spacemacs (thanks to nashamri)
  • Recovery mode when there is an error in the user dotfile. Now even when your dotfile cannot be loaded, Spacemacs will be operational with a minimal set of packages available (thanks to cmccloud)
  • Add support for dotdirectory ~/.spacemacs.d which behaves like the Emacs dotdirectory (i.e. ~/.spacemacs.d/init.el is evaluated instead of ~/.spacemacs if the former exists and the latter does not) (thanks to justbur)
  • Guide-key is replaced by which-key which provides an enhanced and better live key bindings browsing experience. (thanks to justbur)
  • New API to manage the powerline mode-line. It is now possible to easily define segments and arrange them (thanks to TheBB)
  • New web gallery to browse themes in themes-megapack, URL: theme gallery (thanks to robmerrell)
  • New test framework supporting layer specific tests (thanks to TheBB)
  • New interactive function dotspacemacs/test-dotfile testing the integrity of the .spacemacs file. This function will detect any unknown layers and bad dotspacemacs variable values (thanks to justbur)

New conventions

  • Add spacing conventions for org files (thanks to person808)
  • Move SPC m T x conventions for executing tests in debug to SPC m t X
  • Add conventions for toggles which are under SPC t, SPC T and SPC C-t. For major mode specific toggles only SPC m T is available.
  • Add SPC m g b to go back to previous location after a SPC m g g.
  • Reserve SPC m o for users (thanks to TheBB)

IMPORTANT: Breaking changes

  • Spacemacs is now compatible only with Magit 2.1 and later, be sure to update your packages.
  • auctex layer has been renamed latex, be sure to update your dotfile if you use this layer.
  • erlang/elixir layer has been split into two layers erlang and elixir, be sure to update your dotfile if you use these layers.

Release 0.101.x

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.
