* Development

- Bugfix: File preview: Ensure that binary files are not previewed partially.
  Otherwise ~pdf-view-mode~ may observe corrupted PDF files.
- ~consult--async-refresh-timer~: Optimize timer reuse and efficiency. This change
  improves the performance of commands like ~consult-ripgrep~ for small values of
  ~consult-async-refresh-delay~.
- ~consult-completion-in-region~: Remove ~:cycle-threshold~ and ~:completion-styles~
  customization options.

* Version 1.3 (2024-02-23)

- ~consult-bookmark-narrow~: More flexible grouping which supports multiple
  bookmark handlers per group.
- Bugfix: Ensure that preview is always executed in a non-minibuffer window.
- Bugfix: File preview: Do not preview ~hexl-mode~ buffers.
- Bugfix: File preview: use ~error-message-string~ to access error string.
- Bugfix: Buffer preview: Retrieve original window correctly.
- Bugfix: Fix ~consult-global-mark~ for ~embark-export~.

* Version 1.2 (2024-01-23)

- =consult-buffer=: Bugfix. Ensure that null completion works properly.
- File preview: Add indication if previewed file got truncated.

* Version 1.1 (2023-12-27)

- Bugfixes:
  + ~consult-xref~: Do not error for an empty location list.
  + ~consult--read~: Catch null completion if require-match is non-nil.
  + ~consult--multi~: Ensure that :new action is invoked on visible source.
- File preview: Check for long lines when previewing files partially.
- Use ~minibuffer-local-filename-syntax~ and ~read-file-name-completion-ignore-case~
  for directory prompt of the ~consult-grep~ and ~consult--find~ family of commands.
- Remove obsolete variables ~consult-preview-max-size~ and
  ~consult-preview-raw-size~.

* Version 1.0 (2023-12-01)

- Bugfixes.
- Preview large files partially. Add new customization variables
  =consult-preview-partial-chunk= and =consult-preview-partial-limit=. This new
  feature is experimental. Please report any issues you observe.
- Obsoleted =consult-preview-max-size= and =consult-preview-raw-size=.
- =consult-buffer-other-tab=: New command.
- =consult-fd=: New command based on the fast =fd/fdfind= search utility.
- =consult-outline=: New prefix argument to specify initial narrowing level.
- =consult-org-heading=: Specify category =org-heading= such that Embark provides
  appropriate Org heading actions.
- =consult-org-heading=: Add annotation.
- =consult-locate=: Split input into multiple words.
- Remove unreliable =consult--maybe-recenter=.
- Save input history even when using =embark-export= or when aborting from a
  command via C-g. This change affects commands like =consult-line= and
  =consult-grep=.
- Unify history of =consult-line=, =consult-keep-lines= and =consult-focus-lines=.

* Version 0.35 (2023-07-02)

- Bugfixes.
- =consult--read= now accepts programmable completion tables as argument, e.g.,
  =completion-table-dynamic= or =completion--file-name-table=. This allows you to
  reuse existing completion tables to write completion commands enhanced with
  Consult candidate preview.
- Replace =consult-preview-cursor= face with =cursor-highlight-mark=.
- Change calling convention of =consult-focus-lines= and =consult-keep-lines=.
- The regexps in =consult-buffer-filter= are matched case sensitively now.
  Similarly, the =INCLUDE= and =EXCLUDE= arguments of =consult--buffer-query= are also
  case sensitive.
- Do not preview remote files by default, see =consult-preview-excluded-files=.
- Use =consult--maybe-recenter= instead of =recenter= in =consult-after-jump-hook=.
- =consult-goto-line=: Support =line:column= input.

* Version 0.34 (2023-04-21)

- Bugfixes.
- =consult-org-heading=: Support tag inheritance.
- Use pure =consult--fast-abbreviate-file-name= function to abbreviate file names
  in =consult-buffer= and =consult-recent-file=. This ensures that abbreviation does
  not access the file system (or worse remote hosts via Tramp) and is always
  fast. The downside is that some paths may not get abbreviated.
- Introduce buffer sources =consult--source-project-buffer-hidden= and
  =consult--source-project-recent-file-hidden=. Set the buffer sources of
  =consult-project= to =consult--source-project-buffer= and
  =consult--source-project-recent-file= to ease customization.
- =consult-buffer=: Explicitly save =window-next-buffers= and =window-prev-buffers=.
- When previewing files literally (=consult-preview-raw-size=), set the multi byte
  flag of the previewed buffer, such that UTF-8 buffers are not garbled.
- Do not create preview cursor overlay. Instead display the actual point by
  ensuring that =cursor-in-non-selected-windows= is set.

* Version 0.33 (2023-03-11)

- BREAKING: The key convention has been updated. The old key convention is not
  supported anymore. Keys must now be strings valid according to =key-valid-p=.
  This changes affects the keys =consult-narrow-key=, =consult-widen-key=,
  =consult-preview-key= and the =:preview-key= of sources and passed as keyword
  argument to =consult--read=. See the example configurations in the manual.
- BREAKING: Remove the "." argument from  =consult-grep-args= and
  =consult-ripgrep-args=, since directories or files to search are appended by the
  command line builder. Take this change into account, when you use a customized
  version of those variables.
- =consult-grep=: Add support for grep and find over multiple files or directory.
  If the prefix argument DIR is a single C-u, prompt for comma separated
  directories or files to search recursively via =completing-read-multiple=.
- =consult-buffer= and =consult-isearch-history=: Align annotations dynamically
  depending on candidate width, instead of computing the alignment beforehand.
- Add the full path as =help-echo= property to abbreviated directory paths and
  project names. Enable =tooltip-mode= and hover with the mouse over the
  abbreviated directory path to see the full path.
- =consult-grep/find/etc=: Print first line of stderr output if command failed.

* Version 0.32 (2023-02-06)

- Bugfixes
- Deprecate the old key convention. Keys must now be strings valid according to
  =key-valid-p=. This changes affects the keys =consult-narrow-key=,
  =consult-widen-key=, =consult-preview-key= and the =:preview-key= of sources and
  passed as keyword argument to =consult--read=. See the example configurations in
  the manual.
- Add =consult-info= command (#634, #727).
- =consult-buffer=: Always select the first candidate when narrowing (#714).
- =consult-locate-args=: Remove =--existing=, which is not supported by =plocate= on
  Debian stable.
- =consult-ripgrep-args=: Add =--search-zip= option to automatically search through
  compressed files. This will allow you to search Elisp files bundled with your
  Emacs installation. Move to an Elisp library via =find-library=, then invoke
  =consult-ripgrep=.
- Drop obsolete =consult-apropos=. Alternatives: =describe-symbol= in combination
  with =embark-export=. See also =consult-info= and =consult-ripgrep= to search
  through info manuals and Elisp source code.
- Drop obsolete =consult-multi-occur=. Alternative: Built-in =multi-occur=,
  =multi-occur-in-matching-buffers= or =consult-line-multi=.
- Drop obsolete =consult-file-externally=. The command has been moved to Embark
  under the name =embark-open-externally=.

* Version 0.31 (2023-01-06)

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

* 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

* 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=

* 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.

* 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

- Deprecate =consult-completing-read-multiple=. See #567 for details.
- Add =consult--source-modified-buffer=

* 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
  initialized when leaving the minibuffer for recursive editing.
- Increase =consult-preview-raw-size=.
- Replace =consult-preview-excluded-hooks= by =consult-preview-allowed-hooks=.
- Add =consult-preview-variables= to bind variables for file preview.
- BREAKING API CHANGE of =consult--read=, =consult--prompt=, =consult--multi=: The
  state function protocol changed. The function gets notified of more completion
  state changes. See the docstring of =consult--with-preview= for details.
- BREAKING API CHANGE of =consult--read=: The lookup function protocol changed.
  The function must now accept four or more arguments.
- Remove unused =consult-preview-map=.
- Remove unnecessary =consult-recent-file-filter=. Use =recentf-exclude= instead.
- =consult--multi= sources can have a =:new= function to create candidates.
  When narrowed to a source, new candidates will be created by calling the
  respective =:new= function.
- =consult--multi= returns =:match= information. =:match= can be nil, t, or new,
  depending on if the candidate does not exist, exists or has been created.
- =consult-locate= treats the input literally to take advantage of the db index.

* Version 0.16 (2022-03-08)

- Bugfixes
- Deprecate =consult-project-root-function= in favor of =consult-project-function=.
- Preconfigure =consult-project-function= with a default function based
  on project.el.
- Add =consult-project-buffer=, a variant of =consult-buffer= restricted to the
  current project.
- Add =consult-register-prefix= option.
- Introduced a generic and extensible =consult-register= implementation.
- Lazy marker creation in =consult-line/outline= (performance improvements)

* Version 0.15 (2022-01-31)

- Bugfixes
- =consult-xref=: Prettify the group titles, use =xref--group-name-for-display=
  if available.
- =consult-focus-lines=: Thanks to @jdtsmith, the command is much faster and
  actually useable in large files.
- Added Mct integration, auto refreshing of asynchronous Consult commands.

  browsing command and not a replacement for Isearch.
- =consult-grep= support -[ABC] grep options
- Add =consult-grep-context= face

* Version 0.12 (2021-10-11)

- Bugfixes
- Removed obsolete =consult-project-imenu= and =consult-x-command= variables

- =consult-grep/git-grep=: Use =--ignore-case=
- Deprecate =consult-<cmd>-command= in favor of =consult-<cmd>-config.=
- =consult-find=: Use regular expressions instead of globbing/wildcards by default.
  Due to the changes to =consult-find= it is not possible anymore to configure
  =fd= as backend for =consult-find=. A replacement is documented in the wiki.
- =consult-find/locate/man=: Add highlighting to the matching file/man page names.
- =consult-grep/git-grep/ripgrep/find/locate=: Add support for multiple unordered
  patterns. Each of the input patterns must be matched. For example,
  =consult-find= transforms the input "first second third" to "first -and second
  -and third".
- =consult-grep/git-grep/ripgrep=: Compute the highlighting based on the input,
  instead of relying on the ANSI-escaped output. This works better with multiple
  patterns, but may occasionally produce false highlighting.
- Deprecate =consult-x-command= configuration variables in favor of =consult-x-args=.
  The variables have been renamed since the configuration format changed.

  for the commands =consult-line=, =consult-buffer=, etc.
  This enables support for the =basic= completion style and TAB completion.
- =consult--read=: The =:title= function must accept two arguments now,
  the candidate string and a flag. If the flag is nil, the function should
  return the title of the candidate, otherwise the function should return the
  transformed candidate.
- =consult-grep= and related commands: Strip the file name if grouping is used.
- =consult-find/grep=: Ensure that the commands work with Tramp
- =consult-outline=: Add narrowing
- Added =consult-org-heading= and =consult-org-agenda=
- =consult-line=: Highlight visual line during jump preview
- =consult-line=: Start search at current line, add configuration variable
