## 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

* 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~.

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
