                        ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━





1 Development
═════════════

  • Drop obsolete `consult-apropos'. Alternative: `describe-symbol' in
    combination with `embark-export'.
  • Drop obsolete `consult-multi-occur'. Alternative: Built-in
    `multi-occur', `multi-occur-in-matching-buffers' or
    `consult-line-multi'.
  • Drop obsolete `consult-file-externally'. Alternative:
    `embark-open-externally'.


2 Version 0.31 (2023-01-06)
═══════════════════════════

  • Version bump to update the Compat package dependency (29.1.0.1)


3 Version 0.30 (2023-01-02)
═══════════════════════════

  • Bugfixes
  • Drop Selectrum support
  • Deprecate `consult-file-externally' in favor of
    `embark-open-externally'
  • Deprecate `consult-multi-occur'. The `multi-occur' command should be
    improved upstream to take advantage of
    `completing-read-multiple'. Consult provides the command
    `consult-line-multi' as an alternative.
  • `consult-history': Use input as initial completion input


4 Version 0.29 (2022-12-03)
═══════════════════════════

  • Bugfixes
  • `consult-line-multi' has been rewritten completely. The candidates
    are computed on demand based on the input. This reduces startup
    speed greatly. The command behaves like `consult-grep', but operates
    on buffers instead of files.
  • Add `consult--source-file-register', and make the registers
    available in `consult-buffer'. Registers are often used as quick
    access keys for files, e.g., `(add-to-list 'register-alist '(?i file
    . "~/.emacs.d/init.el")))'.
  • Remove obsolete `consult-line-point-placement'
  • `consult-grep/find': Always show directory in the prompt
  • Add variable `consult-yank-rotate', `consult-yank-from-kill-ring'
    rotates kill ring
  • Emacs 29: `consult-register' supports `buffer' register type
  • Emacs 29: Support `outline-search-function'
  • Org 9.6: Support new `org-fold-core' API (both overlays and
    text-properties)
  • Support abbreviated file names in `recentf-list', see
    `recentf-filename-handler'.
  • Deprecate `consult-apropos'


5 Version 0.20 (2022-10-16)
═══════════════════════════

  • Bugfixes
  • Allow `consult-*-args' to be a string, or a list of strings or
    expressions.
  • Introduce face `consult-highlight-match' to highlight grep matches
    in the completion buffer.
  • Highlight full matches in `consult-line', `consult-outline',
    `consult-*grep' and `consult-flymake'.
  • Remove face `consult-preview-error'.
  • Deprecate `consult-line-point-placement' in favor of more general
    `consult-point-placement', which is also used by the `consult-*grep'
    commands.
  • `consult-imenu': Support imenu-after-jump-hook and non-default
    `imenu-default-goto-function'
  • `consult-history': Add support for history index variables, which
    are updated after selection.
  • Deprecate support for Selectrum in favor of Vertico. If you use
    Selectrum consider switching to Vertico, Icomplete, Mct or default
    completion.


6 Version 0.19 (2022-09-09)
═══════════════════════════

  • Bugfixes
  • Allow `consult-flymake' to work across all buffers in a project
  • Remove deprecated `consult-completing-read-multiple'
  • `consult-grep/git-grep/ripgrep': Add `--fixed-strings' support
  • `consult-grep': Respect `grep-find-ignored-directories/files'
  • `consult-org-heading': Add tags to completion candidates
  • Add `consult-preview-excluded-files'
  • `consult-themes': Support regexps


7 Version 0.18 (2022-05-25)
═══════════════════════════

  • Bugfixes
  • Removed obsolete `consult-recent-file-filter' and
    `consult-preview-excluded-hooks'
  • Deprecate `consult-completing-read-multiple'. See #567 for details.
  • Add `consult--source-modified-buffer'


8 Version 0.17 (2022-04-22)
═══════════════════════════

  • Bugfixes
  • Drop Emacs 26 support.
  • `consult-goto-line': Use `goto-line-history' on Emacs 28.
  • `consult-customize': Evaluate settings at runtime. This change makes
    it possible to use `thing-at-point' to overwrite the `:initial' and
    `:add-history' settings.
  • Rename `consult--read-config' to `consult--customize-alist' and
    change the format.  The configuration is an alist. The car must be a
    command symbol. The cdr must be a plist of keys and expressions,
    where the expressions evaluate to the actual configuration values.
  • Mode hooks in previewed file buffers are delayed. The buffer is only
    fully
