$XDG_DATA_DIRS/vendor_{completions,conf,functions}.d
Additionally, CMake variables extra_{completions,conf,functions}dir are
appended, if they are not already contained in $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
If XDG_DATA_DIRS is not defined, we fall back to
$__fish_datadir/vendor_completions.d:${extra_completionsdir}
for completions. Same for conf and functions.
This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.
Closes#6048
Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.

This adds support for `fish_trace`, a new variable intended to serve the
same purpose as `set -x` as in bash. Setting this variable to anything
non-empty causes execution to be traced. In the future we may give more
specific meaning to the value of the variable.
The user's prompt is not traced unless you run it explicitly. Events are
also not traced because it is noisy; however autoloading is.
Fixes#3427
This reorders many CHANGELOG entries.
The main idea is to keep the "NOTABLE fixes and improvements" for the headline items,
so a bunch of entries (like "Empty uvars can now be exported") are moved to more specific sections.
Other than that, there's some rewording, and the new feature flag is mentioned in Deprecations,
because that's effectively what it is.
[ci skip]
Universal exported variables (created by `set -xU`) used to show up
both as universal and global variable in child instances of fish.
As a result, when changing an exported universal variable, the
new value would only be visible after a new login (or deleting the
variable from global scope in each fish instance).
Additionally, something like `set -xU EDITOR vim -g` would be imported
into the global scope as a single word resulting in failures to
execute $EDITOR in fish.
We cannot simply give precedence to universal variables, because
another process might have exported the same variable. Instead, we
only skip importing a variable when it is equivalent to an exported
universal variable with the same name. We compare their values after
joining with spaces, hence skipping those imports does not change the
environment fish passes to its children. Only the representation in
fish is changed from `"vim -g"` to `vim -g`.
Closes#5258.
This eliminates the issue #5348 for universal variables.
fish is designed to append to the history file in most cases. However
save_internal_via_appending was never returning success, so we were
always doing the slow rewrite path. Correctly return success.
Fixes#6042
