Fish Shell 4.1 Released with Brace Syntax, Transient Prompts
Quoting: Fish Shell 4.1 Released with Brace Syntax, Transient Prompts —
Fish shell, a modern Unix shell designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, has announced version 4.1, a new release that builds on the 4.0 series, delivering new features, scripting improvements, terminal compatibility updates, and some removals of older behavior.
One of the most visible changes is that compound commands can now be written using braces—{ echo 1; echo 2 }—similar to how other shells handle them. Fish also introduces transient prompts. If the fish_transient_prompt variable is set, the prompt is re-rendered right before a command runs, which can help keep things cleaner on the screen.
