Hello world,
Hotwire 0.710 is available. This is primarily a followup release to
0.700, see below for the details. Notably for packagers this one
removes a file with a syntax error.
Special thanks in particular to Zeng.Shixin for his patient help and
patches in dealing with the non-UTF8 support in this release.

* Changes: http://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/wiki/HotwireChanges#Changes_in_Hotwire_0.710
* What is Hotwire:
Hotwire is an object-oriented hypershell. It is a shell designed for
systems programming (files, processes), and thus it is in the same
conceptual category of software as the Unix shell+terminal and Windows
PowerShell. The goal of the Hotwire project though is to create a
better systems programming shell than both Unix and PowerShell. We
call it a hyper-shell because Hotwire blends the concepts of a
systems-oriented shell with a modern graphical user interface display.
* Changes copy/paste from wiki:
Visible Changes:
* Internal line processing includes newlines ( issue 111 )
* Import ~/.bash_history (TiagoMatos)
* Non-UTF8 locale handling (cgwalters, Zeng.Shixin, issue 125 ,
issue 133 )
* Sorting on file renderer (schroed, issue 119 )
* Open action now works on Windows (Zeng.Shixin)
* New apply builtin ( issue 80 )
* New view builtin which launches editor in read-only mode
* kill now optionally takes Process objects as input
* rm has new --unlink option to really delete
* more is now aliased to term -w more by default to avoid
vanishing on small files
* Completions popup only appears when it has something to show ( issue 135 )
* Hotwire Edit gains line numbers, goto line functionality
Notable Bugfixes:
* HotSSH keybinding and focus issues fixed
* Various Windows bugfixes (Zeng.Shixin, cgwalters)
* Symbolic links handled better (schroed, issue 120 , issue 121 )
* Don't error if process ends while input is open
* Avoid lockup if completion throws an error (e.g. permission
denied on directory)
* History is saved asynchronously for improved interactivity
during heavy disk I/O ( issue 88 )
API Changes:
* You should now register custom builtins using the register_user
function of BuiltinRegistry. Builtins shipped with the operating
system can use register_system.
