What is your project?

Version

4.x

Date

Description of breaking changes

• Asynchronous rendering. Most of the computation happens in a separate process, so a user can type the next command right away, without waiting for complex checks to be performed.
• Registry for sections. Users now have a better API for creating custom sections and can explore and submit them to the registry on our website.
• Configuration file. Spaceship configuration now can be placed in a single file ~/.spaceshiprc.zsh or ~/.config/spaceship.zsh and it will be automatically loaded.
• Command Line Interface. CLI will help to perform common tasks easiear, like editing configuration, adding and removing sections, etc.

Anything else to add?

This release is mostly made during the wartime. I was working on this release mostly to get my mind off the reality. This release is partly made when I was sitting in a shelter.
