Calling this pivotal macro "def-package!" has frequently been a source
of confusion. It is a thin wrapper around use-package, and it should be
obvious that it is so. For this reason, and to match the naming
convention used with other convenience macros/wrappers, it is now
use-package!.
Also changes def-package-hook! -> use-package-hook!
The old macros are now marked obsolete and will be removed when straight
integration is merged.
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.

This is second of three big naming convention changes. In this commit,
we change the naming conventions for hook functions and variable
functions:
1. Replace the bar | to indicate a hook function with a -h suffix, e.g.
doom|init-ui -> doom-init-ui-h
doom|run-local-var-hooks -> doom-run-local-var-hooks-h
2. And add a -fn suffix for functions meant to be set on variables,
e.g.
(setq magit-display-buffer-function #'+magit-display-buffer-fn)
See ccf327f8 for the reasoning behind these changes.
This is first of three big naming convention updates that have been a
long time coming. With 2.1 on the horizon, all the breaking updates will
batched together in preparation for the long haul.
In this commit, we do away with the asterix to communicate that a
function is an advice function, and we replace it with the '-a' suffix.
e.g.
doom*shut-up -> doom-shut-up-a
doom*recenter -> doom-recenter-a
+evil*static-reindent -> +evil--static-reindent-a
The rationale behind this change is:
1. Elisp's own formatting/indenting tools would occasionally struggle
with | and * (particularly pp and cl-prettyprint). They have no
problem with / and :, fortunately.
2. External syntax highlighters (like pygmentize, discord markdown or
github markdown) struggle with it, sometimes refusing to highlight
code beyond these symbols.
3. * and | are less expressive than - and -- in communicating the
intended visibility, versatility and stability of a function.
4. It complicated the regexps we must use to search for them.
5. They were arbitrary and over-complicated to begin with, decided
on haphazardly way back when Doom was simply "my private config".
Anyhow, like how predicate functions have the -p suffix, we'll adopt the
-a suffix for advice functions, -h for hook functions and -fn for
variable functions.
Other noteable changes:
- Replaces advice-{add,remove}! macro with new def-advice!
macro. The old pair weren't as useful. The new def-advice! saves on a
lot of space.
- Removed "stage" assertions to make sure you were using the right
macros in the right place. Turned out to not be necessary, we'll
employ better checks later.
Makes it easier to change company-backends retrospectively (with a hook
or setq-hook!). Also simplifies how backend defaults are stored (no more
of this :derived and :exact business).
Also updates unit tests.
Uses the most basic, uncustomized shell to a) prevent interference
caused by slow shell configs and b) speed up project text searches. This
comes at the cost of isolating these programs from envvars that the user
may have set in their shell configs in order to change
ag/rg/pt/git-grep/grep's behavior.
If this bothers you, change +ivy-file-search-shell to your shell (or
to the value of `shell-file-name`).
Possibly relevant to an issue mentioned in #1260
`ivy-completion-in-region' struggles with completing certain
+evil-ex-specific constructs, like globs (:e prefix*.el) or vim filename
modifiers (:e %:p:h).
The default setting of 200 is too low for common use-cases like
`describe-function`, `describe-variable` or `counsel-projectile`.
This has a performance impact, but it's barely noticeable on a fast
machine. If performance is not acceptable, set `ivy-flx-limit` lower or
consider disabling the `+fuzzy` feature entirely.
This provides an alternative backend for filtering and sorting ivy
searches. Uses prescient instead of flx for fuzzy completion when both
+prescient and +fuzzy are selected.
:feature was a "catch-all" category. Many of its modules fit better in
other categories, so they've been moved:
- feature/debugger -> tools/debugger
- feature/evil -> editor/evil
- feature/eval -> tools/eval
- feature/lookup -> tools/lookup
- feature/snippets -> editor/snippets
- feature/file-templates -> editor/file-templates
- feature/workspaces -> ui/workspaces
More potential changes in the future:
- A new :term category for terminal emulation modules (eshell, term and
vterm).
- A new :os category for modules dedicated to os-specific functionality.
The :tools macos module would fit here, but so would modules for nixos
and arch.
- A new :services category for web-service integration, like wakatime,
twitter, elfeed, gist and pastebin services.
