proto v0.35 - Support for more shells
This is a light release that adds support for more terminal shells.
Experimental support for new shells
proto has always supported the primary and common shells like Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell, and more. In recent years, there has been an influx of new and modern shells, built with technologies such as Rust. We felt it was time to start supporting some of these new shells, and have added experimental support for:
Furthermore, the proto setup command (which is ran when installing
proto) will now prompt the user to select a shell if one could not be detected.
Generate trace profiles
A major goal of proto is to be extremely efficient and to optimize as much as possible. To help
accomplish this goal, we're introducing the global CLI --dump flag, which will generate a trace
profile that can be loaded and reviewed in chrome://tracing.
This will display a flame graph with labeled operations, their timing information, and any associated data. This is the first step in capturing this kind of information, and it will only get better moving forward.
Generating a profile for running a tool, either with proto run node or node itself, will not
work. This is because the tool process replaces the current proto process entirely, causing the
profile to be interrupted and abort.
