See the docstring of `consult--async-pipeline' for details. ⁃ `consult--read': New `:async-wrap' keyword argument. ⁃ `consult--multi': Add support for `:async' sources. ⁃ `consult--async-min-input': New async function which enforces a minimum input length. The input length check has been removed from `consult--async-split'. ⁃ `consult--async-transform': Macro converted to function. ⁃ `consult--process-collection': New function replacing `consult--async-command'. The function accepts keyword arguments to customize the pipeline. ⁃ `consult--dynamic-collection': The function accepts more keyword arguments to customize the pipeline. ⁃ `consult--async-refresh-timer' and `consult--async-refresh-immediate': Replaced by `consult--async-refresh' with a `DELAY' argument. ⁃ `consult--async-split-thingatpt' and `consult--async-split-initial': Removed since `consult--read' automatically inserts the splitter prefix if needed. • Minor changes: ⁃ Remove obsolete `consult-yank-rotate'. ⁃ Add customizable variable `consult-async-indicator'. ⁃ `consult-completion-in-region': When inside minibuffer, use minibuffer content as prompt. 2 Version 1.9 (2024-12-22) ══════════════════════════ • Require Emacs 28.1. • `consult-grep', `consult-find' and similar commands: Ask for project first, when invoked with double prefix argument `C-u C-u'. • Deprecate `consult-yank-rotate' in favor of `yank-from-kill-ring-rotate'. • `consult-grep-max-columns': Support value `nil' to disable truncation. • `consult-line': Enforce global completion style settings for compatibility with buffer-local completion style settings, which may be used by Corfu. • Support the value 0 for `consult-async-min-input'. • Remove special `org-fold' code. Set `org-fold-core-style' to `overlays' if unfolding in Org files does not work for you. • `consult-info': Support sub files. • `consult-buffer', `consult-project-buffer': Add sources for known project roots. • `consult--multi': Support multiple narrow keys per source. Used by the project buffer and project recent file source. • `consult--async-sink': The new action `cancel' was added to the async protocol. • `consult--read': Add new keyword argument `:initial-narrow'. 3 Version 1.8 (2024-07-25) ══════════════════════════ • `consult-preview-excluded-buffers': New customization variable. • `consult-fd': Support multiple paths. • Bump Compat dependency to Compat 30. 4 Version 1.7 (2024-05-23) ══════════════════════════ • Emacs 30 bug fix: Ensure that font locking is enabled when previewing files. • `consult-preview-allowed-hooks': Global minor modes, which should be enabled during preview, can be added to this list. See the README for examples. • `consult-xref': Bug fix: Do not error when project root directory is nil. • `consult-fd': Bug fix: Avoid confusion of input pattern with options by prefixing the input pattern with `--and'. • `consult--buffer-sort-visibility': Bug fix: Only add current buffer to sorted list, if already present in the original list. 5 Version 1.6 (2024-05-15) ══════════════════════════ • `consult-xref': Compatibility with xref.el in Emacs 30. • `consult-grep' (and similar): Preserve files which are already open literally and do not reopen them in normal mode. • `consult-preview-allowed-hooks': Run delayed mode hooks listed in this variable during preview. • `consult--buffer-query': Add buffer-list keyword argument. 6 Version 1.5 (2024-04-19) ══════════════════════════ • Bugfix `consult-buffer': Handle buffer renaming during minibuffer completion gracefully, by attaching the actual buffer objects to the completion candidate strings. • Bugfix `consult-register': Ignore marker registers pointing to dead buffers. … …
