For example:
(doom! :feature (version-control +git))
I leave it to modules to interpret these flags, and they can be detected
through one of the following:
+ (featurep! :feature version-control +git)
+ (featurep! +git) -- syntactic sugar, only available from within
modules.
+ (doom-module-flags :feature version-control) -- returns a list of
flags for this module.
Flags are also available from packages.el files.
doom-initialize-packages re-initializes certain important variables,
like gc-cons-threshold (which causes intermittent freezing when set too
high), without resetting them to sensible defaults. This ensures those
variable are reset afterwards.
It would reload all files; which is harmless, but does unnecessarily
inflate variables that get push-ed or nconc-ed to. It's best to compile
from the command line.
+ Moved unit tests out of tests/ and into their respective modules.
+ Rewrite makefile and added these tasks:
+ <MODULE>/<SUBMODULE> -- byte-compile a specific module
+ test:<MODULE>/<SUBMODULE> -- runs tests for a specific module
+ testi -- run tests in an interactive session of Emacs (WIP)
+ run -- opens an Emacs session with this config; useful when it is in
a non-standard location.
This refactor is about improving how Emacs deals with errors.
A large net is now cast at startup to catch possible errors, produce
more helpful error messages, and localize the damage. Significantly
reducing the risk of later modules not loading (and leaving you
stranded in a half-broken Emacs session).
The DOOM core files are an exception. If something messes up in there,
it *should* choke.
+ use-package will now report missing packages or slow-loading/broken
def-package! configurations.
+ Persp-mode no longer (inadvertantly) hides buffers that pop up at
startup, like the *Warnings*, *Backtrace* or debugger buffers.
+ `make autoloads` (or doom/reload-autoloads) now produces a slightly
more informative error message if an error occurs while building the
autoloads file.
+ Error handling for package management is *slightly* better now; error
messages now include the type of error; this needs work.
