Alice v0.3.0 is out! This introduces a breaking change which is that Alice now follows the XDG Base Directory Spec in lieu of creating a ~/.alice directory.

To migrate from an older version:

  • Delete ~/.alice.
  • If you have a block in your shell config starting with # BEGIN configuration from Alice installer, remove that block.
  • If you installed Alice with the installation script then run the script again (instructions here).
  • If you used Alice to install OCaml tools, you’ll need to reinstall those tools (run alice tools install).
  • If you’ve configured a custom sandbox template with Visual Studio Code for any Alice projects, change the template based on the new LSP instructions for Visual Studio Code here.

To enable bash/zsh completions for Alice, source the appropriate file from ~/.local/share/alice/env.
