v2.12.2

Fixes

• Fix Fedora shell dependency installation by falling back to Homebrew when native package installation fails.
• Preserve Debian/Linux Homebrew behavior so shell configs do not miss Brew-only dependencies.
• Clean partial backup directories when backup creation fails.
• Fix the Obsidian Quick Switch keymap from quick-switch to quick_switch.

CI and release safety

• Add GitHub Actions E2E coverage for Go tests, Linux Docker matrix, non-blocking Termux, and macOS smoke tests.
• Add focused package-manager fallback tests.
• Ignore local Pi/AI runtime folders in .gitignore.

Documentation

• Document unsupported native Windows tooling as reference-only while keeping WSL as the supported Windows path.

Validation

• cd installer && go test ./...
• git diff --check
• ruby -c homebrew-tap/Formula/gentleman-dots.rb
• GitHub Actions E2E Installer Tests on main: success

v2.12.1

Fixes

• Prefer native package managers on Arch/Fedora direct-download installs instead of forcing Homebrew.
• Install Fish, Zsh, Nushell, Tmux, Zellij, Node.js, and Neovim dependencies through platform-aware package commands.
• Install Herdr on non-Homebrew Linux from the v0.7.1 GitHub release binary with SHA256 verification.
• Make Zsh plugin loading tolerant of Homebrew and native Linux package layouts.

Validation

• go test ./... from installer
• ruby -c homebrew-tap/Formula/gentleman-dots.rb
• git diff --check

v2.12.0

Highlights

• Added Herdr as a terminal multiplexer option alongside Tmux and Zellij.
• Added Herdr config installation at ~/.config/herdr/config.toml as a writable file.
• Updated Fish, Zsh, and Nushell startup logic to launch the selected multiplexer while avoiding nested TMUX, ZELLIJ, and HERDR_ENV sessions.
• Updated non-interactive mode to accept --wm=herdr.
• Updated README and docs for Herdr and current direct-download binary names.

Validation

• go test ./... from installer
• ruby -c homebrew-tap/Formula/gentleman-dots.rb
• git diff --check

Gentleman.Dots v2.11.1

Changes

• Remove Engram from the Gentleman.Dots installer flow.
• Keep Engram installation/configuration responsibility in the separate gentle-ai AI layer.

Validation

• cd installer && go test ./...

v2.11.0

Highlights

Port of recent Nix-side improvements to the standard configs, plus a Pi compatibility fix and an upstream flicker fix.

Tmux

• extended-keys on with extended-keys-format csi-u for Pi compatibility (distinguishes Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Enter, Alt+Enter)
• Modern terminal-features (RGB, usstyle, hyperlinks) replacing legacy terminal-overrides
• OSC 52 clipboard via set-clipboard on + copy-pipe-and-cancel — works across SSH, Ghostty, WezTerm, iTerm2, kitty, Alacritty
• display-popup -k on the M-g scratch (tmux 3.6 feature: any key dismisses the popup after exit)
• escape-time 10 pinned to match the tmux 3.5+ default

Zellij

• New about plugin alias and zellij:link autoload (clickable URLs in any pane viewport)
• TogglePanePinned bindings: F in tmux mode, Alt F in shared normal/locked
• S in tmux mode now creates a stacked pane (NewPane "stacked")
• Plugin bumps: zjstatus to v0.23.0, zellij_forgot to v0.4.2 — both aligned with zellij 0.43+

Fixes

• Remove hide_frame_for_single_pane "true" from all 5 layouts — fixes long-standing flickering bug (zjstatus#174)

Fish

• Auto-attach flipped to tmux-first (tmux new-session -A -s main); zellij stays as fallback

Install / Upgrade

brew upgrade gentleman-dots

v2.10.3

Full Changelog: v2.10.2...v2.10.3

v2.10.2

Changes

• Show Zellij tab indices using index:name formatting.
• Keep Zellij tabs left-aligned and compact for narrow screens.
• Center the Zellij session name in the status bar.
• Name new Zellij tabs as 'tab' to avoid duplicated Tab #N labels.

Verification

• zellij setup --check
• nix flake check --no-build
• cd installer && go test ./...

v2.10.1

Changes

• Sync Zellij config with tmux-style Ctrl+a keybindings and direct Ctrl+h/j/k/l pane navigation.
• Enable Zellij session serialization/resurrection settings.
• Simplify Zellij work layouts to a single base tab and update active tab color.
• Align installer test expectations with dependency/Xcode setup order before clone.

v2.10.0

Changes

Breaking

• AI configs no longer installed by the TUI. Claude Code and OpenCode CLI tools are still installed, but personal configs (skills, themes, settings, plugins) are no longer copied. Use gentle-ai for AI tool configuration.

Removed

• GentlemanClaude/ directory (28 skills, settings, themes, output styles)
• GentlemanOpenCode/ directory (configs, themes, plugins, background agents, SDD commands)
• installOpenCodeBackgroundAgents() function and tests
• sync_opencode() and sync_claude_config() from skills/setup.sh

v2.9.12

Changes

Bug Fixes

• backup: Support symlinked config directories — fixes ~/.oh-my-zsh backup failure on macOS (#154)
• homebrew: Use bash and NONINTERACTIVE=1 in interactive install script — fixes Homebrew install on Debian/Ubuntu where /bin/sh is dash (#148)
• setshell: Fallback to sudo usermod when chsh fails PAM auth — fixes shell change in Docker/CI/WSL environments (#149)
