0.2.0

What's Changed

Enhancements

• Add conda shell as an alias for conda spawn. (#59)
• Inject Fish and Xonsh activation through their documented startup options so
  activation completes before the first interactive prompt. (#36)

Bug fixes

• Ensure spawned PowerShell sessions call conda.exe instead of the no-op
  conda.bat when running conda activate or conda deactivate. (#35)
• Import CondaSubcommand from conda.plugins.types so conda-spawn remains
  compatible after conda removes the deprecated conda.plugins re-export.
  (#38)
• Preserve native login startup files and logout behavior for POSIX shells,
  Bash, and Zsh while spawning an activated shell. (#36)
• Run Xonsh on_post_rc handlers before activation and readiness. (#36)
• Remove temporary activation scripts as soon as the spawned shell reports it
  is ready. (#36)
• Keep conda-spawn's nested-session marker out of conda's CONDA_*
  environment-variable namespace. (#36)

Other

• Use conda's activator classes directly and retain only conda-spawn's PATH
  and environment-variable changes. (#45)
• Enable infrastructure-managed Dependabot configuration via
  conda/infrastructure templates. (#47)

Docs

• Update project and documentation URLs after the repository moved to the
  conda organization. (#76)

Full Changelog: 0.1.0...0.2.0

0.1.0

What's Changed

Added

• Best-effort support for fish, csh/tcsh, and xonsh shells (#21, #28).
• New conda_spawn.contrib module for shell registration discovery and conda_spawn.registry module for the in-process shell registry.
• Public subclass extension hooks on Shell/UnixShell (the leading underscores were dropped) so out-of-tree plugins can extend behaviour without reaching into private API.
• Non-PTY unit tests for UnixShell alongside the existing PTY-based integration tests.
• Dependabot configuration for GitHub Actions, pre-commit, and pip.

Changed

• Renamed UnixTTYShell to UnixShell.
• Modernized the supported Python versions to 3.10–3.14 and the matching CI matrix.
• CI now tests against conda-forge only; the defaults channel was dropped from the matrix.
• Tests were split to mirror the module layout (shell / contrib / registry) and parameterized with shared fixtures.

Fixed

• Double shell prompt when spawning a new shell (#22).
• PowerShell -NoExit is now skipped when stdin is not a TTY (#30).
• $CONDA_ROOT/condabin stays first in PATH when replacing a prefix.
• Ready-marker synchronization is sourced from the activation script to avoid PTY echo leaks.

Removed

• spawn -n / spawn -p mentions left over in the documentation.
