Crafted Emacs Update for August and Another New Teammate
Documentation work has been ongoing this month, as well as a few fixes. I'll get to that in a moment though.
New Teammate!
I have expanded our team to include Stefan Thesing (@sthesing) who has been doing a ton of work on getting documentation in order. He has raised a few points for thoughtful discussion and has also worked on a few code PRs as well. I appreciate his efforts and he seemed to be a good fit for the team. Judy and I had a conversation about it and decided to see if he wanted in. We are happy to announce his agreement and look forward to working together even more in the future!
Updates
Now that I have that wonderful news out of the way, here are some of the updates to the Crafted Emacs V2 Beta branch:
- The way we figure out if a package is available for configuration was updated across the board. This took some thought and research, but we found a pretty good way forward (at least I think so). Stefan was instrumental in getting most of that work done.
- Documentation. Lots and lots of documentation. Stefan reproduces the
crafted-completion-config
documentation replete with screenshots along the same lines as he did for the prior release. Duchene Horst provided an update for using thestraight
package manager. - Judy provided updates for named functions in hooks, other broken
feature
guards, the path for when theauto-insert
template for Crafted Emacs modules fires, and consolidating howaggressive-indent-mode
is configured.
RC1 on the horizon
We have a plan for a RC1 type of release. That is coming, hopefully soon. Right now, our goal is to complete the documentation of the modules listed in Issue 128, so if anyone wants to submit a PR for one of the modules that doesn't have a check mark next to it, please do so! The more help we get, the faster we get there!
Happy Crafting!!
