Hi all, If you are using the development builds of fish, or building it yourself from the git sources, please be aware that I am about to merge a change to the default syntax.
The use of the caret character (^) to redirect standard error has been available in fish for a long time, but has gradually been reduced in when it is legal in fish syntax [1][2]. Extensive discussion [3] has led to a general consensus that it is no longer a useful part of the fish syntax, and it has been slated for deprecation for some years (see the release notes for fish 3.0b1 and 3.2.0). As such, I am merging a commit that will flip the default behaviour to ignoring '^' as a special redirection. You can still get the old behaviour by changing a feature flag (`set -U fish_features no-stderr-nocaret $fish_features` and restarting fish will do it), but all scripts should use the '2>' syntax instead of '^'. The current plan is to have this change released in fish 3.3.0, and then at some stage to make it permanent (ie not controlled by a feature flag). If you have any feedback, please feel free to comment at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/7105 Thanks, David Adam fish committer [1]: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/168 [2]: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1873 [3]: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4394 _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
