Highlights:
- 'doom purge' now purges builds, elpa packages, and repos by default.
Regrafting repos is now opt-in with the -g/--regraft switches.
Negation flags have been added for elpa/repos: -e/--no-elpa and
-r/--no-repos.
- Removed 'doom rebuild' (it is now just 'doom build' or 'doom b').
- Removed 'doom build's -f flag, this is now the default. Added the -r
flag instead, which only builds packages that need rebuilding.
- 'doom update' now updates packages synchronously, but produces more
informative output about the updating process.
- Straight can now prompt in batch mode, which resolves a lot of issues
with 'doom update' (and 'doom upgrade') freezing indefinitely or
throwing repo branch errors.
- 'bin/doom's switches are now positional. Switches aimed at `bin/doom`
must precede any subcommands. e.g.
Do: 'doom -yd upgrade'
Don't do: 'doom upgrade -yd'
- Moved 'doom doctor' from bin/doom-doctor to core/cli/doctor, and
integrated core/doctor.el into it, as to avoid naming conflicts
between it and Emacs doctor.
- The defcli! macro now has a special syntax for declaring flags, their
arguments and descriptions.
Addresses #1981, #1925, #1816, #1721, #1322
- Is now much more fault tolerant (produces better errors)
- Now handles async.el process errors as well
- Standardizes data structure of thread responses
- Fix 'doom build' not byte-compiling stale dependencies of rebuilt
packages.
- Fix 'doom build' logging the wrong number of packages that were
rebuilt.
This update addresses two evasive issues:
1. Packages updated with `doom update` would not rebuild correctly,
requiring a `doom refresh` afterwards,
2. Packages would fail to rebuild even if their byte-compiled files were
stale. The result: "*.el is newer than *.elc" warnings at startup.
Caused lecause straight is prompting for input in a headless
session *and* from a headless async child instance of Emacs. It waits
forever for input for a question we could never see or respond to.
How sad.
Straight expects to be used interactively, which don't do (yet). Its
transactional system depends on idle timers, which don't run in a
noninteractive session, so we have to nudge it ourselves.
- Now handles errors from threads gracefully, rather than failing
silently.
- Exploits straights modification system to trigger rebuilds
later (instead of force-rebuilding after each update).
It would no-op if you responded "y" to the 'update them?' prompt, and
proceed if you responded "n".
Doom must be in its rebellious phase.
Also relevant: #1585
There are a few kinks to iron out, but for the most part it's done. Doom
Emacs, powered by straight. Goodbye gnutls and elpa/quelpa issues.
This update doesn't come with rollback or lockfile support yet, but I
will eventually include one with Doom, and packages will be (by default,
anyway) updated in sync with Doom.
