Thanks to the new `holy-mode` Spacemacs can now be used by Vim users or Emacs users by setting the `dotspacemacs-editing-style` variable to `’vim` or `’emacs` in the dotfile. In `Emacs` style the leader is available on `M-m`. It is possible to dynamically switch between the two style with `SPC P tab`.
A package is now considered to be used only if there is a corresponding `<layer>/init-<package>` function explicitly defined. There is now two new functions to initialize a given package:
- `<layer>/pre-init-<package>` which is called before the init function
- `<layer>/post-init-<package>` which is called after the init function
Even if a `pre` or `post` function exist for a given package, an `init` function is still required to consider the package to be used.
Spacemacs now officially support auto-completion. The old layer `company-mode` has been removed and `auto-complete` has been removed from the spacemacs layer. They are now part of a new layer called `auto-completion`. You’ll have to this add layer to your dotfile to enable auto-completion.
Flycheck has been removed from the Spacemacs layer and moved to a new layer called `syntax-checking`. You’ll have to add this layer to your dotfile to enable the fly syntax checking.
Org packages have been removed from Spacemacs layer and moved to a new `org` layer. You’ll have to add this layer to your dotfile to enable the Org configuration of Spacemacs.
Recent files, project and bookmarks can be displayed on the startup buffer. Check for the new dotfile variable `dotspacemacs-startup-lists`. (thanks to CarlQLange)
Lighter letters have been updated, now the letter corresponds to the key binding to toggle the associated mode. For instance auto-completion is on ⓐ and thus can be toggled with `SPC t a`.
The package update should now prevent even more errors when upgrading a batch of packages.
