⚠ ALPHA RELEASE ⚠
Hey guys!
I'm releasing the first official alpha v2 release (v2.0.1), which should be fairly usable already (I've been using it myself for a couple of weeks), but is likely to have some bugs and inconveniences :)
If anyone wants to give it a try (and enjoy the Searchbar and Regex trigger goodies 😎), here are the main takeaways:
- Documentation is still lacking, I just had the chance to write a migration guide. That should be enough to get started with the new version, but there is a lot more to cover. Feel free to ask here on GitHub or Reddit if you don't understand something :)
- Packages from the Hub are currently not working. With the great help of @4lch4, we are setting up the CI for the new Hub, which brings several improvements compared to the previous edition. In the meanwhile, you will need to manually copy the YAML files into your configs if you want to install a package. Sorry for the inconvenience :)
- Passive mode is currently not supported, though regex triggers might cover (and improve!) many of the possible use-cases
- Some commands, such as
espanso detect, are yet to be ported. If you need to create an app-specific config, please see this comment - The distribution format has changed for some platforms, please see the instructions for macOS, Windows and Linux. On macOS, Espanso is now a regular App bundle, which should make it much easier to deal with. On Linux, we still have a lot of work to do. For now, we have an AppImage available for X11 systems, with more formats and integrations (AUR, snap, etc) to come. Wayland users will need to compile Espanso from sources right now, I'm going to write a comment in the wayland thread with some instructions soon
Keep in mind that this is an alpha release, so things are likely to be buggy. Any feedback or bug report will be very helpful, so don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any problems! :)
Happy expanding 🚀
