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:

  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'.
