Announcement draft

What's new

Version 3 brings both "under-the-hood" and visible improvements. 🚀
I got rid of many things that made it difficult to move forward with RESH.

Removed features

• Arrow up/down
  • zsh: Default behavior is good afaik
  • bash: See config in this SO post ⇗
• Shell completions - they might come back later

Improvements

• Smaller history records
  • Less used disk space, faster loading
  • Smaller memory consumption
• Better locations for config and data
  • Config location respects $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (default: ~/.config/)
  • Data location respects $XDG_DATA_HOME (default: ~/.local/share/)
  • Shell files and binaries use ~/.resh/
• Added reshctl doctor command that checks common issues
• Better logging
  • More complete structured logs from all components
  • Debugging of reported issues based on just logs will be radically easier
• Removed dependencies
  • setsid and nohup not required
  • Improved portability / simplified installation
• Update script improvements
  • Much more robust shell config files reloading
  • Seamless migration of records format
  • Seemless migration of config file format
• Smaller fixes
  • Git URLs normalization in search
  • Improved command deduplication in search
  • Handle hostname changes gracefully
  • Unified way to get datetime
  • Unified way to generate UUID

Installation hangs bug only affected make install - i.e. build and install from source used in development.
The bug only manifested itself when Make was configured to use jobserver (-j N option or MAKE_JOBS=N env var).

During installation daemon is killed, then started again and detached from the process.
However, it looks like Make still detects the running process, considers it an "unfinished job" and halts indefinitely.

Running the install target as nested make with disabled parallelism (i.e. -j1) solves the issues.

EDIT: this issue seems to be macOS-specific
EDIT2: the issue is not really macOS-specific - It affects make version 3.81 and it doesn't affect 4.4
