What's new

Version 3 brings both "under-the-hood" and visible improvements. 🚀
I got rid of many things that made it difficult to move forward with RESH.

Removed features

• Arrow up/down
  • zsh: Default behavior is good afaik
  • bash: See config in this SO post ⇗
• Shell completions - they might come back later

Improvements

• Smaller history records
  • Less used disk space, faster loading
  • Smaller memory consumption
• Better locations for config and data
  • Config location respects $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (default: ~/.config/)
  • Data location respects $XDG_DATA_HOME (default: ~/.local/share/)
  • Shell files and binaries use ~/.resh/
• Added reshctl doctor command that checks common issues
• Better logging
  • More complete structured logs from all components
  • Debugging of reported issues based on just logs will be radically easier
• Removed dependencies
  • setsid and nohup not required
  • Improved portability / simplified installation
• Update script improvements
  • Much more robust shell config files reloading
  • Seamless migration of records format
  • Seemless migration of config file format
