* v0.4.0 UNRELEASED
-- Compatibility of Transient with various uses of the minibuffer has
- been greatly improved, addressing several edge-cases and making it
- possible to invoke a transient prefix command when the minibuffer
- is active. 7b8a7d71 et al.
+- Transient has to update state after every suffix command. If that
+ fails for some reason, then Emacs ends up in an badly broken state.
+ It was rare, but in the worst case scenario, that meant that Emacs
+ refused to call any more commands and had to be killed.
+
+ Naturally ~post-command-hook~ is the first choice to run something
+ after commands, but unfortunately that hook is not guaranteed to run
+ only once, and worse it is not guaranteed run /after/ the command.
+ Working around this limitation made an essential part of Transient
+ much more complex and fragile. As new edge-cases were discovered,
+ new and increasingly desperate heuristics had to be added, until I
+ finally decided that relying solely on hooks was just not feasible.
+
+ Now ~pre-command-hook~ is used to advice ~this-command~, to add an
+ around advice, which ensures that the state update takes place, even
+ when ~post-command-hook~ is run prematurely. The advice wraps both
+ the function body and the interactive spec with ~unwind-protect~, so
+ we can finally be sure that the state change is always performed,
+ and that the advice is removed again.
+
+ It has been an interesting journey, and I have documented it in long
+ commit messages. If you are interested in the details, see 7b8a7d71
+ (which still tries to avoid using any advice), 51c68c87, 52cac9c0,
+ bug#61179 and bug#61176.
+
+- The ~transient-define-prefix~ now expands to code instead of data,
+ meaning that lambda expressions are finally properly evaluated and
+ byte-compiled. ea851f3b e88f51d6 277e5f2d a1774182
- Popup navigation is no longer considered a second-class feature and
is enabled by default. Some transients allow arbitrary non-suffixes

+- Duplicated suffix commands are now disambiguated, making it possible
