Version 3.9.9-pre

Now new file and dir have a dummy source in HFF, same for completing-read’s

and read-file-name.

helm-info-at-point shows index of current page in addition of default

So it can safely be used as a replacement of “i” in Info.

Add affixation function for eww (emacs-30 only)

Allow toggling auto update in helm-top with a prefix arg

Do not use `dired-create-destination-dirs` mechanism for directory creation

as it is not working in some cases (e.g. symlinks).

Fix persistent action in helm mark-ring when follow mode is on

Fix Imenu preselection when point is on a name with special chars

Provide a new progress bar for rsync with a svg widget

Needs svg-lib package but it is not mandatory.

Version 3.9.8

New helm-finder command

Make `completions-detailed` working with ‘emacs’ helm-completion-style

It was already working but was really slow and was not supporting `helm-completing-read-command-categories` mechanism which provide `completions-detailed` in much more places than Emacs vanilla.

Helm-goto-line save position even when using persistent actions

helm-info is now colorized

Displaying thumnails is now slighly faster

Add a new mode to edit bookmark annotations

When viewing an annotation you had to kill the buffer, restart helm-bookmarks, and run the edit annotation action, now you can edit directly from the view buffer.

It is now possible to rename marked bookmarks

New compress/uncompress/compress-to action in helm-find-files

All actions are asynchronous except the persistent ones.

Allow toggling while-no-input for easier edebugging

Use the new `helm-update-edebug` variable to enable this.

And various bug fixes as always

Version 3.9.7

Fix package-requires in helm.el

Version 3.9.6

Fix bug with helm-mm-exact-search (bug#2616)

Improve locate library fns

Fix a old bug with candidate transformer

candidate-transformer functions should behave the same in in-buffer and sync source: transforming all candidates.

Fix kmacro for Emacs-29+

Various minor bug fixes

Version 3.9.5

Add compatibility with Emacs-28< for helm-packages

Tested with emacs-27.

Add new action package-isolate for helm-packages

Allow launching a new Emacs with only package(s).

Packages list can be refreshed with C-c C-u

BTW there is no more option to update from actions with prefix arg.

Add more affixations fns for completing-read

Themes, colors etc…

Add new var helm-compleions-detailed for emacs-27

This allow using completions-detailed in Emacs-27 with various describe-* functions.

Helm-occur now doesn’t hang when trying to match empty lines

With “^$”.

Highlight matches in M-x highlight only commands

I.e. Items in short documentation are not highlighted.

Version 3.9.4

Add two new alists to allow extending completions-detailed

This allows providing detailed completions in more places, see `helm-completing-read-extra-metadata` and `helm-completing-read-command-categories`. They are not provided as user variables as it may be tricky to provide the corresponding affixations functions. As of now we have detailed completions in describe-function/variable/symbol/command/package, find-function/variable, switch-to-buffer, customize-variable/group, package-(vc)install, package-vc-checkout.

New helm packages manager

The old helm-elisp-package has been replaced by helm-packages. The old one was too slow, taking lot of memory and even crashing Emacs especially with last Emacs-29.

Version 3.9.3

Ensure to use affixation functions provided by caller in helm-mode

Version 3.9.2

New progress bar for Rsync action from helm-find-files

Describe-* commands with completions-detailed are now fast

Use Wfnames package as dependency to replace Wdired

Version 3.9.1

helm-config file has been removed

Therefore (require ‘helm-config) will return an error, don’t use this anymore. If installing from source use instead (require ‘helm-autoloads), otherwise from a package install, the autoloads file will be automatically loaded.

Allow using helm-completion-styles-alist by command

New mode for editing large vars

Will be used automatically when using the set variable action from helm-apropos.

Improve all-the-icons in many places
