Oils Will Move to the oils.pub Domain

2024-12-30

I just released Oils 0.25.0 on our new domain:

But then Samuel reminded me that there's no reason for people to trust this domain!

So this post is a oilshell.org -> oils.pub link, which should help.

Yes, this move is long overdue! I explained the reasons a long time ago, but I got a bit lazy about doing it:

Thanks to Samuel for also helping me pick the domain name.

TODO

Here's an incomplete list:

(1) Write Oils 0.24.0 - Closures, Objects, and Namespaces

I'm working on this draft now.

It's another huge release. YSH evolved a lot in 2024!

(2) Probably write about Oils 0.25.0:

Bash Compatibility: by Koichi Murase and Matthew Davidson
Under the hood: ASDL and mycpp
- It felt very good to clean up and improve our metaprogramming infrastructure. I'm not sure I will have time to write about it though!
ul-table: Markdown Tables Without New Syntax
- This also felt very good. I realized I was missing an easy way to write tables, and immediately started using it everywhere!

(3) Improve the new site

For example, we need osh.html and ysh.html to concisely explain what's appealing about the project.

Now back to work!
