Calling all maintainers of both clients and tldr alike!
Since the v1.5b release, the master branch was removed. The clients that haven't updated got moved to a dedicated section in the wiki. If you are a user of any of these clients, we highly recommend migrating to a supported community client or one of our official clients.
Client authors
Changelog
This version of the CLIENT SPECIFICATION introduces the following changes:
- Add recommendation to support macos alias for osx (#7514) (thanks @MasterOdin)
- Drop the special "all" platform from the --list flag (#7561) (thanks @dbrgn)
- Drop the master branch from the assets link. (#9668) (thanks @MasterOdin)
- Require support for long options (#9651) (thanks @pixelcmtd)
- Add recommendation to support caching individual translation archives (#10148) (thanks @kbdharun)
Requiring support for long options
Clients will be required to add support for long options for commands along with short options for a more uniform experience.
Introducing caching support for individual translation archives for each language
Addressing the community's requests, we have added support for individual language-specific translation archives in #10555 (thanks @adamazing). If your client displays pages based on the user's language configuration from the cache, now you can include the selected language along with English as a fallback to save space from unused languages.
Complete translation archives will still be available for clients using it.
tldr maintainers
Dependabot alerts and CodeQL analysis got enabled on compatible repositories org-wide.
Community updates
- The primary chatroom address has been updated to #tldr-pages:matrix.org. The old Gitter chatroom address was added as an alternate published address.
