Version 2.1.0 (2016-05-28)

This release improves the feedback users and scripts get from dasht scripts,
fixes the ability to run dasht from non-setpgid() environments like (Neo)Vim,
adds TAB completion for ZSH, and provides screencasts for prospective users.

Minor:

  • dasht(1) now automatically opens the first search result if only one.

  • dasht-query-* scripts now exit with status 44 when no results found.

  • TAB completion for ZSH (see etc/zsh/ folder) for all dasht scripts.

    Pressing TAB at the first argument completes '' and puts you on the
    second argument, which is perfect for skipping the pattern altogether.
    Pressing TAB at the second argument completes installed docset names.

    Thanks to Tobias Mersmann (@tmerse) for suggesting this feature and
    providing starter code at #10.

  • dasht-server-http(1) now shows "no results found" message in browser.

Patch:

  • dasht-query-line(1) now sets default URI fragment for Erlang docset.

    This affects modules, like the "dets" result in dasht dets erlang.

  • dasht-server-http(1) now opens search result links in the same window.

    w3m(1) opens search result links in the same window, so don't make
    the experience any different in browsers connected to dasht-server(1).

  • dasht(1) has revised pipefail emulation since Vim doesn't setpgid().

    When :!dasht some_query_that_has_no_results_here is run inside Vim,
    the w3m(1) instance still lives on, even though no results were found,
    because the child processes of dasht(1) don't inherit its pid as pgid.

    That's why terminating all children with kill(1) on pgid doesn't work.
    Instead, the new strategy is to selectively kill w3m(1) first and then
    dasht(1) to achieve the desired effect: no more w3m(1) and nonzero exit.

  • dasht(1) now avoids /bin/sh: line 1: Terminated warning under BASH.

    To ensure normal SIGTERM propagation to children, trap SIGUSR1 instead.

  • Revised "no results found" messages for HTML and text user interfaces.
