Hi all,

I thought I might just fill everyone in on the current state of fish.

Quite a few people have asked if I'm submitting my patches to the official
fork, and the answer is "no, but I tried". :)

I submitted the first couple of patches I made, including the stalling fix,
both to the fish mailing list and Axel (the creator) directly, but never
heard back. There's been semi-regular activity on the mailing list,
including other bug reports, that have gone similarly unanswered, and the
most recent release was in March.

So, I've been working on my fork.
http://github.com/benhoskings/fish

I fixed the most immediate things that were bothering me first, i.e. the
stalling issue and multiline prompts. Next I cleaned up the repo's layout,
replaced the autoconf/make build system with waf, and altered the default
configs to not require generation, which greatly simplified the build
process. Next I want to do some refactoring of the source, and then once I'm
a bit more familiar with it, work on some other problems (performance, and
some other niggles).

I intend to keep the master branch nice and stable, and not too different
from the official fish, at least for now.

— Ben
