News
1. NEWS
1.1. Version 4.0.3
1.1.1. Remove drag-and-drop support in helm-find-files for emacs<29
Use now dnd.el for the new drag-and-drop function. This allows drag-and-drop in external applications in addition to emacs frames.
1.1.2. Add a new completion metadata category command-help
Handle helm-M-x prefix arg integration in this category.
1.1.3. Allow filtering sources in current session
It is bound to C-M-e in helm-map.
1.1.4. Change `helm-current-directory-alist` default value
Now C-x C-f from a Gnus buffer brings to News directory.
1.1.5. Exclude commands related to specific modes in helm-M-x
This is available only in Emacs with an interactive version supporting MODES argument. It is configurable with `helm-M-x-exclude-unusable-commands-in-mode`, default to t.
1.1.6. Fix preselection after persistent killing buffers
1.1.7. Improve colors in ttys
1.1.8. Add new actions to helm-find-files
1.1.9. Fix require-match in completion-in-region
1.2. Version 4.0.2
1.2.1. Fix Emacs bug with CRM when using org-set-tags
1.2.2. Improve helm-source-files-in-current-dir
1.2.3. Fix some compatibility problems with EIEIO in various Emacs
1.2.4. Improve helm-projects-history
1.2.5. Fix bug in recentf
Properties may corrupt recentf data, prevent this.
1.2.6. Fix bug with *-window-side-state no more working
1.2.7. Remove the ability of switching to recursive search with C-j in HFF
It was broken and not needed as we can just add the final "/" to expand.
1.2.8. Change default value of `helm-locate-recursive-dirs-command'
It is no more using `locate` but `find`, this because locate is not working anymore out of the box without some tweaks (plocate backend). It is still anyway the faster alternative once tweaked, see HFF documentation.
1.2.9. Improve position of helm frame
1.2.10. Provide icons in find and fdfind
1.3. Version 4.0.1
1.3.1. Provide icons in some more places (helm-for-files.el)
1.3.2. Package-vc-* commands have now affixations (package category)
1.3.3. Show only basename of dot files in helm-find-files
It is now the default, but it can be configured with `helm-ff-show-dot-file-path`.
1.3.4. Allow using both all-the-icons and nerd-icons as icon providers
Use the variable `helm-x-icons-provider`.
1.3.5. Add affixations to helm-info
Add a description of info file when using `helm-info` or `info-display-manual`.
1.3.6. Provide minimal support for eww bookmarks
1.3.7. Stop preventing dups when trashing files
1.3.8. Add a helm-add-to-list function for user init file settings
1.3.9. Drop support for deprecated defadvice management
1.3.10. Allow destructuring in helm-acase
1.3.11. Popup-info can be provided in metadata and added to any completion
via the vars `helm-completing-read-command-categories` and `helm-completing-read-extra-metadata`, for example it is now enabled in M-x man.
1.3.12. Maybe provide a popup-info in completion-at-point
If CAPFns provide such information via `completion-extra-properties`, display it in a popup-info when helm-popup-tip-mode is enabled. `helm-lisp-completion-at-point` provides this as well.
1.3.13. Add completion for Char Classes for regexps
This is available in `helm-lisp-completion-at-point`.
1.3.14. Enhance usage of tab-bar-mode from Helm
Previously we were displaying each marked candidate in a tab, now all marked candidates go in same tab. Helm-find-files is now using the same functions as helm-buffers to display its candidates in tab. helm-imenu-all when jumping to a candidate jump to it in its tab if possible.
1.3.15. Access to helm-find-files bookmarks from helm-read-file-name
That's mean that when copying/renaming etc… you can use bookmarks as target.
1.3.16. Fix a bug in query replace in file names
It is now possible to match counter ("\#") inside the replacement string and not only before or after as before.
1.3.17. Fix a bug with dummy sources in file related sources
It is now possible to mark wildcard candidates from unrelated directories.
1.4. Version 4.0
1.4.1. Enhance helm-finder
