CHANGE LOG OF LIN.EL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The newest release is at the top. For further details, please consult
the manual: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/lin>.
Version 0.3.0 on 2022-04-08
═══════════════════════════
⁃ Changed the source repository from GitLab to SourceHut:
<https://git.sr.ht/~protesilaos/lin>. Use the mailing list to start
a discussion, report a bug, send a patch, etc.:
<https://lists.sr.ht/~protesilaos/lin>. The GitLab URL will serve
as a mirror from now on (a GitHub mirror is still available and will
remain that way).
⁃ Introduced a buffer-local minor mode as well as its global
equivalent: `lin-mode' and `lin-global-mode'. This makes it easier
to set up Lin in user init files and/or toggle it on demand. The
following shows how the package can be used:
┌────
│ (require 'lin)
│
│ (setq lin-face 'lin-blue) ; check doc string for alternative styles
│
│ ;; You can use this to live update the face:
│ ;;
│ ;; (customize-set-variable 'lin-face 'lin-green)
│
│ (setq lin-mode-hooks
│ '(bongo-mode-hook
│ dired-mode-hook
│ elfeed-search-mode-hook
│ git-rebase-mode-hook
│ ibuffer-mode-hook
│ ilist-mode-hook
│ ledger-report-mode-hook
│ log-view-mode-hook
│ magit-log-mode-hook
│ mu4e-headers-mode
│ notmuch-search-mode-hook
│ notmuch-tree-mode-hook
│ occur-mode-hook
│ org-agenda-mode-hook
│ tabulated-list-mode-hook))
│
│ (lin-global-mode 1)
└────
⁃ The `lin-face' now has a custom setter which automatically updates
its appearance in all buffers where `lin-mode' is enabled. Users
might thus prefer to set its value with `customize-set-variable' in
order to find the style they like the most. Otherwise setting the
value with `setq' is just fine for stable configurations. If, in
that case, the user wants to update the face, they must invoke
`revert-buffer' or equivalent (e.g. type `g' in Dired with the
default key bindings) or evaluate the function
`lin-enable-mode-in-buffers'.
⁃ The user option `lin-mode-hooks' now includes `bongo-mode-hook'
(from the `bongo' package). Its default value is shown in the
sample code above.
Version 0.2.0 on 2022-03-16
═══════════════════════════
Rewrote the entirety of `lin.el' to make the configuration easier and
keep the code streamlined. The gist is that now Lin automatically
enables `hl-line-mode' in every mode implied by `lin-mode-hooks'.
Here is how Lin should be set up henceforth:
┌────
│ (require 'lin)
│
│ (setq lin-face 'lin-blue) ; check doc string for alternative styles
│
│ (lin-setup) ; Either run this or change `lin-mode-hooks'
│
│ (customize-set-variable
│ 'lin-mode-hooks ; do not use `setq' with this; `customize-set-variable'
runs `lin-setup' automatically
│ '(dired-mode-hook
│ elfeed-search-mode-hook
│ git-rebase-mode-hook
│ ibuffer-mode-hook
│ ilist-mode-hook
│ ledger-report-mode-hook
│ log-view-mode-hook
│ magit-log-mode-hook
│ mu4e-headers-mode
│ notmuch-search-mode-hook
│ notmuch-tree-mode-hook
│ occur-mode-hook
│ org-agenda-mode-hook
│ tabulated-list-mode-hook))
└────
The manual has been updated to reflect those changes:
<https://protesilaos.com/emacs/lin>.
Thanks to:
⁃ Christian Tietze for showing how the Lin face can use colors from
the macOS palette. The original contribution was in merge request
2: <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/lin/-/merge_requests/2>. Now we
provide the `lin-mac' and `lin-mac-override-fg' faces. These can be
assigned as a value to the user option `lin-face'.
⁃ Damien Cassou for suggesting that Lin sets itself up for a list of
mode hooks. The original contribution was in merge request 3:
<https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/lin/-/merge_requests/3>. It has now
been rewritten as the `lin-mode-hooks' user option, though the idea
is the same.
⁃ Federico Stilman for adding `mu4e-headers-mode' to the list that
Damien had provided and which now lives as `lin-mode-hooks'.
