## Summary:

  1 Transient command menus
  ═════════════════════════

    Transient is the library used to implement the keyboard-driven “menus”
    in [Magit].  It is distributed as a separate package, so that it can
    be used to implement similar menus in [other packages].

  1.1 Some things that Transient can do
  ─────────────────────────────────────

    • Display current state of arguments
    • Display and manage lifecycle of modal bindings
    • Contextual user interface
    • Flow control for wizard-like composition of interactive forms
    • History & persistence
    • Rendering arguments for controlling CLI programs


  1.2 Complexity in CLI programs

# -*- mode: org -*-
* v0.6.0    2024-03-21

- On Emacs 28.1 and later, all infix commands and suffix commands
  that are defined inline (i.e., using a lambda when defining a prefix
  command), are now hidden from ~execute-extended-command~ (aka ~M-x~) /by
  default/.  It was already possible to hide these commands, but users
  had to opt-in explicitly.  After refactoring how these commands are
  declared to be unsuitable for ~M-x~, it is now possible to hide them
  /without/ also hiding other, unrelated kinds of unsuitable commands.

  I recommend that you instruct to hide /all/ unsuitable command.
  This requires that you customizing ~read-extended-command-predicate~,
  because the Emacs authors have decided that this should be an opt-in
  feature.

  Note that this has no effect on Emacs releases before 28.1.

- Added documentation stating that ~:class~ has to be specified when
  using ~:setup-children~.  beecdc85

- Added a new prefix slot ~column-widths~, which can be used to specify
  the minimal width of each column in all ~transient-columns~ groups of
  that prefix.  92e8952e

- When assigning a name to a suffix that is defined inline, we no
  longer use the suffix description, iff that would result in an
  overly long name.  81a108ba

- Functions used as the value of face slots can now take one
  argument, the suffix object.  Functions that take zero arguments
  are still supported.  Additionally, ~transient--pending-suffix~ is
  bound around calls to these functions, but it is better to pass
  the object as an argument.  f582a9bc

- The new ~definition~ suffix slot can be used to specify a default
  function definition that is used if no function body is provided
  using ~transient-define-suffix~.  5b334a51

- Taught ~transient-suffix-object~ about ~transient--pending-suffix~.
  20a3770d

Bug fixes:

- If ~transient-parse-suffix~ and ~transient-parse-suffixes~ are called
  with an invalid value for their ~prefix~ argument, they failed to
  detect that.  03e752d9

- If ~nil~ is encountered inside a group specification, that was
  silently ignored.  Now an error is signaled.  8c01a1eb

- ~find-function~ wasn't able to locate the definitions of infix
  commands anymore.  a30df67b

- There was no binding for ~ignore-preserving-kill-region~ in
  ~transient-predicate-map~.  0fc87002

- Invoking a non-symbolic non-suffix command, caused an error.
  bd2a5ea0

- When a group begins with an included subgroup, that affected what
  group class was assumed, in the absence of an explicit specification.
  df36bc87

- ~transient--suspend-override~ failed to move out of the minibuffer
  before refreshing the transient buffer.  833143ba

- When a suffix command signaled an error during a trivial phase
  (which does not involve, e.g., the minibuffer), then the transient
  window was not deleted when the debugger was entered.  9d8f361f

- When a prefix was refreshed, the wrong color was used for suffix
  commands that exit the prefix, indicating that would cause a return
  to the outer prefix, even though there is none.  f51c144a

- Calling ~transient-infix-read~ with an invalid value, resulted in
  a confusing error.  Now an appropriate error is used.  3ebb6acf

- When third-party code or user customization managed to display
  another buffer in our dedicated window, then that buffer got
  killed when we tried to kill the transient buffer.  #271

* v0.5.3    2023-12-16

- Fixed regression when setting ~:pad-keys~ for a ~transient-columns~
  group.  #269

* v0.5.2    2023-12-05

- Fixed formatting issues in the manual.

* v0.5.1    2023-12-05

- Added a new introduction by JD Smith (@jdtsmith).

Bug fixes:

- Faces that use a box are now defined more defensively to protect
  against unexpected values and provide reasonable fallback colors.
  413310cd, b8aefce3

- Only prepare to return to the parent transient if there actually is
  a parent.  The only negative effect of failing to do this was that
  the suffix was colored wrong, since ~transient--do-return~ falls back
