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.
Sets out to solve a number of issues with the package management
process. Namely:
- To-be-removed packages that are simply being removed are no longer
incorrectly labeled "quelpa->elpa", but "removed" instead.
- A backend (elpa vs quelpa) column was added to the package listing
confirmation when running `doom update`.
- Doom now correctly recognizes that packages installed with a psuedonym
are installed, and will not endlessly attempt to uninstall and
reinstall them on every `doom refresh`.
- Packages declared with :built-in will no longer lose their built-in
marking if said package is not actually present in Emacs' site load
paths. i.e. if you say it's built in, Doom won't question it.
- package!'s :ignore property is now treated as a form whose evaluated
result will be used as its value.
- Use message library instead of reinventing the wheel
- Fix -d/--debug support for `bin/doom doctor`
- Add indent and autofill support to print! and format!
- Add doom-message-backend for forcing format! to use a specific backend
- Phase out anaphoric when! macro in doctor scripts, it was hardly used
- Reorganize tests into logical groups
- Report Doom initialization with more granularity
- Make better use of whitespace and indentation in output
- Use backquotes for quoting symbols in pcase (for backward
compatibility)
- Initialize Doom completely and manually (less maintanence headache and
more certain to work across Doom updates).
- Will now warn you if both .doom.d and .config/doom exists.
- Include branch and last commit date in doctor/info, next to Doom
version.
- Issues in Doom core are now indented.
+ Bump Emacs version check to 25.3
+ Fix doctor reporting missing packages that are user-disabled
+ Add Doom core checks for over-sized cache files (a possible cause of
freezes/hangs)
+ Emit a backtrace from module doctor script errors
+ Fix doom doctor not respecting DEBUG envvar
Removes doom-module-table; which was inflexible (though more stable). It
prevented you from putting your doom! block in anywhere but
~/.doom.d/init.el.
It is replaced (somewhat) by (doom-modules).
+ Consolidate the CATEGORY -> MODULE terminology
+ Rename functions to make their function easier to understand
+ Rename doom-module-expand-file => doom-module-path
+ Rename doom-module-find-path => doom-module-locate-path
