IMPORTANT: Breaking changes

• The support for Emacs 24.3 has been dropped, Spacemacs needs at least Emacs 24.4 to work correctly.
• extensions are deprecated as announced in previous release, if you still have extensions directories you must rename them to local and move the contents of the extensions.el files to the packages.el files adding the keyword :location local to them in the package list. Refer to other layers for examples (for instance the python layer)
• <package>-excluded-packages variables are now deprecated as announced in previous release, you must now use the keyword :excluded t of the package list, see the vim-empty-lines layer for example.
• Key binding SPC : acting as M-x as been replaced by SPC SPC. If you want to revert to the old SPC : key binding set the new variable dotspacemacs-emacs-command-key to ":".
• Key binding SPC f e h is now SPC h SPC
• Key bindings to delete things are now more consistent and use the d key. We moved SPC w c and SPC w C to SPC w d and SPC w D.
• Refactor SPC w and SPC b regarding deletion to clean redundent actions and bring more consistency between the two prefixes (see Distribution layer changes section in change log for more information)
• SPC j prefix has been modified to include jump commands:
• avy commands are now behind the prefix SPC j for jump:
  - SPC j j to jump to a character in the buffer (works as an evil motion)
  - SPC j l to jump to a line with avy (works as an evil motion)
  - SPC j w to jump to a word in the current buffer (works as an evil motion)
• the following key bindings have been moved:
  - SPC j j to split a line has been moved to SPC j n
  - SPC j h and SPC j l have been moved to SPC j 0 and SPC j $ respectively.
  - SPC J to split a string or sexp has been moved to SPC j s
• All helm related key bindings under SPC h that are not about help have been moved to different key bindings:
• SPC h b for =helm-filetered-bookmarks~is now SPC f b
• SPC h l for helm-resume is now SPC r l
• SPC h L for helm-locate-library is now SPC f e l
• Git key bindings under SPC g have been reorganised to free up some keys and capitalize on Magit dispatch menu to keep things consistent (see git section in change log for more information)
• Spacemacs layouts scope has been changed, now SPC b b lists the buffers of the current layout, use SPC B b to list all the opened buffers.
• org-indent is now turned off by default
• Micro states are now called transient states, the macro spacemacs|define-micro-state is deprecated, it is replaced by the new hydra powered macro spacemacs|define-transient-state.
• Spacemacs layouts and workspaces transient states now exit when a layout or workspace is selected, use C-0 … C-9 to switch to a layout and keep the transient state open.
• Remove support for the value all for dotspacemacs-configuration-layers variable. To install all the packages supported by Spacemacs there is a new variable dotspacemacs-install-packages.
• Remove layer variable colors-enable-rainbow-identifiers in colors layer, You have to replace it by colors-colorize-identifiers 'all.
• The bépo layer has been replaced by the new layer keyboard-layout, see the README.org of the layer for more info.

Hot new features

• Refactor of the layer system which should reduce startup time by 20~25%.
• New option to lazy install layers based on auto-mode-alist (similar to Prelude lazy install of packages but for layers) via the variable dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation.
• Add support for Ivy via the new layer ivy, when used it replaces helm (thanks to justbur, d12frosted, goofansu, lszekeres, nixmaniack, ralesi, TheBB, zilongshanren)
• Add support for different keyboard layouts via the new layer keyboard-layout, currently supported layouts are bépo and dvorak (thanks to StreakyCobra)
• New transient states powered by Hydra, they replace the deprecated micro states (thanks to justbur)
• New jump to definition abstraction to handle multiple jump backends like tags, dumb-jump etc… (thanks to TheBB)
• Global access to all available REPLs with SPC a ' and `SPC m '~ (thanks to AlejandroCatalina and TheBB)
• New debugging tools:
• press SPC q d to restart Emacs in debug mode with command line parameter

--debug-init

• press SPC q D to restart Emacs without Spacemacs but with a list of

selected packages to load. (thanks to StreakyCobra)

• New way to install all the supported packages by Spacemacs via the variable dotspacemacs-install-packages
• Improved emacs and hybrid editing styles to fix configuration inconsistencies
• the spacemacs layer has been split into multiple layers to allow better modularity (these layers are in +spacemacs sub-directory):
• spacemacs-completion
• spacemacs-editing
• spacemacs-editing-visual
• spacemacs-evil
• spacemacs-language
• spacemacs-layouts
• spacemacs-misc
• spacemacs-org
• spacemacs-ui
• spacemacs-ui-visual

Dotfile changes

Changes for variable values and keywords

• Add new keyword :packages for the list of layers in variable dotspacemacs-configuration-layer, :packages allow to select or exclude packages from a layer.
• Add new keyword :enabled-for for the list of layers in variable dotspacemacs-configuration-layer, this keyword controls the effect of a layer on the other layers. For instance one can enable the auto-completion only for the python layer with the value (auto-completion :enabled-for python) Note that this keyword is the opposite of the existing keyword :disalbed-for. (thanks to TheBB)
• The value of dotspacemacs-editing-style can now be a list containing the keyword :variables (similar to dotspacemacs-configuration-layers) to define addtional variables to modify the behavior of the editing syle. This new keyword is useful for...
