Eidos 0.4.0

This is an older release. The latest is 0.18.0. See what’s new in 0.18.0

Install a framework from the Registry in one command

eidos install takes the place of init and adds a published framework, a repository, or a folder to a new or existing root, and the Registry opens.

Release highlights

eidos install: Give it a Registry package (@owner/name), a GitHub owner/repo@tag or git URL, a repository on this machine, or a folder.
The Registry: eidosmd.com/registry lists every published framework, with a page per package and its install counts.

New

`eidos install`

Give it a Registry package (@owner/name), a GitHub owner/repo@tag or git URL, a repository on this machine, or a folder. On an existing root it adds what the source has that the root lacks, and always shows the plan first. Install →

The Registry

eidosmd.com/registry lists every published framework, with a page per package and its install counts. An install sends one request with the package name and nothing else; --offline or EIDOS_NO_TELEMETRY skips it.

Improved

The seeds are roots

The bundled software, book, and research seeds are laid out the way plugin release 5.3.1 lays them out, so the copy in the CLI and the published package are the same thing.

Changed

`init` is now `install`

init stays as a hidden alias for this one release.
