Version 1.12.1

A small fix for fossil users. This is annoying enough that it needs a
fix now instead of in the rework.

Fixed

• fossil: fossil 2.11+ maching any directory as a valid repo and printing 3 error messages (#626)

Thanks to:

• Felix Eckhofer (@tribut) for reporting the issue

After more than 4 years, it's finally here. While the project needs much more work, there were enough pending changes and needed small fixes that a minor version release was needed. This release also sees the project moving to true Semantic Versioning, which is why this is a *.*.0 release. Bug fix releases between now and v2.0 will be of the form 1.12.1 and following.

In general, this release contains mostly fixes, but there are a few added features. Liquidprompt still has a lot of work to do with issues, but this release should have a lot less of them than the previous release.

As we move towards breaking changes for 2.0, I would recommend users stay targeting this tag, unless they want to help debug issues as we work on 2.0, in which case you can follow master.

Added

• color: Add $MAGENTA, $BOLD_PURPLE, and $BOLD_MAGENTA (3fadce9)
• color: Add warning when tput is not available (#615)
• path: Allow to customize the symbol before the path that shows if the
  directory is writable: $LP_MARK_PERM (#430)
• runtime: $LP_RUNTIME_BELL and $LP_RUNTIME_BELL_THRESHOLD to ring bell
  for slow commands (#571)

Fixed

• general: use LC_ALL=C everywhere parsable output is needed (#548, #549)

• bash: workaround broken .bashrc that export $PROMPT_COMMAND, we now
  unexport it on startup (#450, #463, #474)
• bash: handle unset $_LP_RUNTIME_LAST_SECONDS when set -u is set (#605)
• bash: use $BASH_VERSINFO for when there is a non-numeric
  suffix (#522, 0234a58)
• battery/OS X: newer versions of OS X failing to parse (#476, fefbe01)
• color: $LP_COLORMAP would break if customized with a different sized
  array (a70e80f)
• color: _lp_color_map() would return nothing if the passed in value was
  outside the scale range (a70e80f, #455, #499, #604)
• cpu/SunOS: failing math operation on load average (#479, #480)

• jobs: mispelled variable local declaration (#564)
• root: $LP_MARK_DEFAULT being ignored if root (#501, 5ee3c53)
• runtime: when runtime enabled, $_ would evaluate as
  _lp_runtime_before (#451)
• runtime: when running a multipart command line (with pipes or ;),
  runtime would never show. Now shows runtime of whole pipeline (#614)
• tmux: tmux not showing as multiplexer if custom $TERM set (#563)

Changed

• battery: hide battery symbol when neither charging nor discharging (#582)
• color: optimize tput color gen (d62bf31)

1.12 is coming. There are only a few bugs left that I would say are in
scope for 1.12. They are #500, #511, #547, and #584. All related to
Unicode and inconsistant character sizes I think, but I can't reproduce
them.

I won't commit to any timeline on the actual release, but unless I get
some bug reports or help with the above issues in the next week or so,
I'll probably release it.

Changes since v1.12-beta.1:

• Nolan Leake (@nolanl) for reporting pipeline runtime issue

It has been over four years, but 1.12 is coming. There are only a
handful of changes here, but stretched out over four years, it is for
sure time for a release.

I couldn't make this a release candidate since there is at least one
important fix I am planning on including. I hopefully will get to it
soon, but I have been sitting on these changes long enough, and it's
time to get them out there.

Added

• color: Add $MAGENTA, $BOLD_PURPLE, and $BOLD_MAGENTA (3fadce9)
• path: Allow to customize the symbol before the path that shows if the
  directory is writable: $LP_MARK_PERM (#430)
• runtime: $LP_RUNTIME_BELL and $LP_RUNTIME_BELL_THRESHOLD to ring bell
  for slow commands (#571)

Fixed

• general: use LC_ALL=C everywhere parsable output is needed (#548, #549)
• bash: workaround broken .bashrc that export $PROMPT_COMMAND, we now
  unexport it on startup (#450, #463, #474)
• bash: handle unset $_LP_RUNTIME_LAST_SECONDS when set -u is set (#605)
• bash: use $BASH_VERSINFO for when there is a non-numeric
  suffix (#522, 0234a58)
• battery/OS X: newer versions of OS X failing to parse (#476, fefbe01)
• cpu/SunOS: failing math operation on load average (#479, #480)
• fossil: improve branch name detection, don't match tags (#497)
• git: remove -E from grep check for portablility (#508)
• git: modifications incorrectly showing as untracked files (#509)
• hg: modifications incorrectly showing as untracked files (#509)
• hostname: regression in $LP_ENABLE_FQDN implementation (#472)
• hostname/SunOS: $LP_COLOR_HOST_HASH erroring (#461, #462, 9c1c8a3)
• jobs: mispelled variable local declaration (#564)
• root: $LP_MARK_DEFAULT being ignored if root (#501, 5ee3c53)

Changed

• battery: hide battery symbol when neither charging nor discharging (#582)
• color: optimize tput color gen (d62bf31)
• git: faster git stash check (#503, 93df016)

Breaking changes:

• In themes, LP_COLORMAP_x variables are replaced by a single LP_COLORMAP array variable. A warning will be displayed at startup if your config still uses the old variables, but a compatibility shim is active (will be removed in next release).
• Many LP_ENABLE_* settings are now static (their effect applies when liquidprompt is loaded, and changing them at the prompt does nothing) to more and more improve speed.
• zsh: option nopromptsubst is enabled for security reasons. This will unfortunately also affect evaluations of other prompt contexts such as RPS1.
• Variables LP_SCREEN_TITLE_OPEN and LP_SCREEN_TITLE_CLOSE are now removed to simplify the code (GitHub #371)

New features:

• Sudo:
  • The color of the prompt mark is now dynamic and changes to LP_COLOR_MARK_SUDO (default: bold red) as long as your sudo credentials are cached (GitHub #335). Requires sudo 1.7.0+. This feature must be enabled with LP_ENABLE_SUDO=1. Use sudo -K to revoke your credentials early.
  • This feature is disabled by default as there is no way to detect if the user has sudo rights without triggering a security alert that will annoy the sysadmin.
• Git:
  • Show the number of commits behind the remote (GitHub #269)
  • Show the rebasing/merging/cherry-picking state (GitHub #409)
• Add variable LP_TTYN: the basename of the terminal (GitHub #357)
• Add setting LP_ENABLE_FQDN to show the fully qualified domain name of the host (GitHub #254, #277)
• LP_HOSTNAME_ALWAYS=-1 to always hide the hostname (GitHub #406)
• Run duration of the last command (LP_ENABLE_RUNTIME) is now also supported on zsh (GitHub #404, #355)
• Python: add support for Conda (CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV) (GitHub #425)

Bug fixes:

• Use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to locate the config (GitHub #415, #420, #425)
• Improved zsh integration (but most issues had no impact of the user experience)
• Fix escaping of special chars from $PWD (well, almost, see GitHub #389) and explicitely set the shell options we need (instead of relying on the shell default settings)
• Git:
  • Fix typo in git work directory detection
• Fossil:
  • Fix on darwin (GitHub #390)
• LP_DISABLED_VCS_PATH is fixed on zsh (GitHub #423)
• Battery indicator:
  • MacOS: many fixes to handle (all?) edge cases (GitHub #326). We now have a pmset simulator to better detect regressions.
• Temperature indicator:
  • The code using the 'sensors' command now uses the '-u' option ("raw output") that is easier to parse. This format is at least 7 years old. (GitHub #379, #380)
  • We now try each backend (acpi/sensors) once to check it works at startup and disable the feature if none works. (GitHub #410, #319, #381, #387)
• CPU load indicator:
  • Fix the scale that was incorrectly 0-200 (GitHub #391)
• Title:
  • Fix terminal sequences that were sent in the title text (the escaping algorithm is rewritten and now just correct).
• Terminal channel:
  • Fix detection of tmux (GitHub #304, #377)
  • Fix detection of local session on OS X (GitHub #407)
• Misc:
  • Fix bash 3 compatibility (GitHub #313)
  • Clear GREP_OPTIONS and skip 'grep' aliases (GitHub #372)
• Shortened path:
  • Fix bugs when $PWD contains spaces or special chars (GitHub #369)
  • Optimize implementation in case of LP_PATH_KEEP=-1 : LP_PWD becomes static (related to GitHub #256, #336)
  • Optimize implementation in case LP_ENABLE_SHORTEN_PATH=0
  • Optimize implementation in case LP_ENABLE_SHORTEN_PATH=0 on bash with PROMPT_DIRTRIM
• Sample configuration files:
  • example.bashrc: major fixes
• The last statement of liquidprompt did not return 0 (GitHub #360,#361)
• Analog clock:
  • complete rewrite for speed and correctness (GitHub #365 and other issues)
• Documentation:
  • Many small fixes
• Move dist/ to contrib/dist/ as files there are unmaintained
• Fix title escapes in zsh inside tmux/screen (GitHub #370, #371)
