This release absorbs the now obsolete dash-functional version 1.3.0 into dash, and brings the very old version of dash on GNU ELPA up to date.

Package maintainers should replace all uses of dash-functional, which will eventually be deleted, with dash version 2.18.0. For more information on this, see: https://github.com/magnars/dash.el/wiki/Obsoletion-of-dash-functional.el

  • New function -iota for generating arithmetic sequences (@holomorph, #215).

  • Calling -list with more than one argument is now deprecated.

  • -lambda now accepts an empty argument list.

  • New anaphoric macros --reductions-from, --reductions, --reductions-r-from, and --reductions-r corresponding to the analogous non-anaphoric functions.

  • -doto threading now works as with ->.

  • New buffer-local minor mode dash-fontify-mode and globalized counterpart global-dash-fontify-mode for fontifying special Dash variables such as it, it-index, acc, etc. The minor mode also fontifies calls to Dash macros in older Emacs versions which did not dynamically detect macro calls.

    This obsoletes the user option dash-enable-fontlock and the function dash-enable-font-lock, which is now an alias of global-dash-fontify-mode.

  • New command dash-register-info-lookup for integration with C-h S (info-lookup-symbol). This command allows Dash symbols to be looked up in the Dash manual just like Elisp symbols are looked up in the Elisp manual. The command can be called directly when needed, or automatically from your user-init-file. For example:

    (with-eval-after-load 'info-look
      (dash-register-info-lookup))
  • Dash is now listed under the standard Customization groups and Finder keywords extensions and lisp.

  • The Dash manual is now licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.3.

  • Various other bug fix, performance, byte-compilation, and documentation improvements.
