Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: fish-2.2.0-3

A new release of fish is available in the Cygwin distribution.  fish 2.2.0-3 is
the first current release of fish 2.2 for Cygwin.  Version 2.2.0-1 and -2 were
available as test releases.

fish 2.2 has significant changes since fish 2.1; please see
http://fishshell.com/release_notes.html for the full list.

ISSUES WHEN UPDATING FROM FISH 2.1 to 2.2:

1. You may see errors when fish starts, saying that "Old versions of fish appear
to be running."  This is because of architectural changes (removal of fishd)
from fish 2.1 to 2.2.  If you see this, please try running the following
commands:

* pkill fish, or killall fish (to kill all running instances of fish, and
especially fishd)

* rm -rf /tmp/fish*

* If necessary, rm ~/.config/fish/fishd.* .  But this probably will remove all
of your stored universal variables.

Then restart fish.  If the error messages persist, please report that to the
cygwin list.

2. fish may hang at startup.  This happens because the startup file
/etc/fish/config.fish in fish 2.1.1 included syntax that causes fish 2.2.0 to
hang.  

* If you didn't customize /etc/fish/config.fish, then there's nothing you need
to do.  The old file will be replaced with a corrected new one when you update,
and fish should start normally.

* If you did customize /etc/fish/config.fish, then your customized file won't be
replaced on update, and fish will probably hang at startup (a "cat" process will
be running, waiting forever for input).  To fix this:
  + Press Ctrl-D.  Startup should then continue normally.
  + Exit fish, then kill any other running instances of fish and cat.
  + Replace your old /etc/fish/config.fish with a copy of 
    /etc/defaults/etc/fish/config.fish, and re-add any customizations you want 
    to make.
  + Restart fish.

If you've tried the above and fish still hangs on startup, please report that to
the cygwin list.


fish is the friendly interactive shell. It's a Unix shell that focuses on
interactive use, discoverability, and user friendliness. The design goal of fish
is to give the user a rich set of powerful features in a way that is easy to
discover, remember, and use.
