This release of fish fixes an issue where iTerm 2 on macOS would display a warning about paste bracketing being left on when starting a new fish session (#4521).
If you are upgrading from version 2.6.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.7.0 and 2.7b1 (included below).
The release notes for fish 2.7.0 are as follows:
Xcode builds and macOS packages could not be produced with 2.7b1, but this is fixed in 2.7.0.
The release notes for fish 2.7b1 are as follows:
Notable improvements
- A new
cdh
(change directory using recent history) command provides a more friendly alternative to prevd/nextd and pushd/popd (#2847). - A new
argparse
command is available to allow fish script to parse arguments with the same behavior as builtin commands. This also includes thefish_opt
helper command. (#4190). - Invalid array indexes are now silently ignored (#826, #4127).
- Improvements to the debugging facility, including a prompt specific to the debugger (
fish_breakpoint_prompt
) and astatus is-breakpoint
subcommand (#1310). string
supports newlower
andupper
subcommands, for altering the case of strings (#4080). The case changing is not locale-aware yet.string escape
has a new--style=xxx
flag wherexxx
can bescript
,var
, orurl
(#4150), and can be reversed withstring unescape
(#3543).- History can now be split into sessions with the
fish_history
variable, or not saved to disk at all (#102). - Read history is now controlled by the
fish_history
variable rather than the--mode-name
flag (#1504). command
now supports an--all
flag to report all directories with the command.which
is no longer a runtime dependency (#2778).- fish can run commands before starting an interactive session using the new
--init-command
/-C
options (#4164). set
has a new--show
option to show lots of information about variables (#4265).
Other significant changes
- The
COLUMNS
andLINES
environment variables are now correctly set the first timefish_prompt
is run (#4141). complete
's--no-files
option works as intended (#112).echo -h
now correctly echoes-h
in line with other shells (#4120).- The
export
compatibility function now returns zero on success, rather than always returning 1 (#4435). - Stop converting empty elements in MANPATH to "." (#4158). The behavior being changed was introduced in fish 2.6.0.
count -h
andcount --help
now return 1 rather than produce command help output (#4189).- An attempt to
read
which stops because too much data is available still defines the variables given as parameters (#4180). - A regression in fish 2.4.0 which prevented
pushd +1
from working has been fixed (#4091). - A regression in fish 2.6.0 where multiple
read
commands in non-interactive scripts were broken has been fixed (#4206). - A regression in fish 2.6.0 involving universal variables with side-effects at startup such as
set -U fish_escape_delay_ms 10
has been fixed (#4196). - Added completions for:
- Lots of improvements to completions.
- Updated Chinese and French translations.
