Fish Shell 4.7.1 has been released to fix a critical regression from version 4.7.0 that broke the web configuration interface, preventing users from accessing it. Users are advised to download the official .tar.xz archive or prebuilt Linux binaries, as the source package is faulty, and should verify the GPG signature for security reasons. The update restores the functionality of the graphical setup tool, allowing for easy customization of settings without manually editing dotfiles. After upgrading, users can expect the fish_config command to open their browser without issues, and existing configurations will remain intact
Fish 4.7.1 released
Fish Shell 4.7.1 drops today to patch a regression in version 4.7.0 that completely broke the web configuration interface. Users who actually want to tweak their prompt or syntax highlighting should grab the official .tar.xz archive or prebuilt Linux binaries instead of the broken source package. The maintainers strongly recommend verifying the GPG signature before compiling, since terminal shells run with elevated privileges and unsigned archives are a security risk. Once installed, the update restores normal browser-based settings management without touching existing dotfiles or custom themes.
