Informational message indicator

Add indicator for informational messages, akin to those already presented for warnings and errors. Defaults to “💁”, Information Desk Person.

Documentation updates and internal tweaks

No user-visible changes. This release simply catches up with the current master development branch, picking up a few documentation updates and internal tweaks.

Correct emoticon for no errors or warnings

This release fixes an accidental regression that caused the warning emoticon to appear when neither errors nor warnings were found.

Status indicator customization

By request, all status indicator characters are now customizable. Look for customization variables whose names start with flycheck-status-emoji-indicator-.

Global minor mode

Previously we enabled status emoji unconditionally whenever this package was loaded, so simply loading the package via (require 'flycheck-status-emoji) was sufficient. However, some people want to be able to load packages without activating them.

Now the package is enabled or disabled using a global minor mode: flycheck-status-emoji-mode. Use M-x flycheck-status-emoji-mode to toggle status emoji on and off. To enable status emoji permanently, set and save the flycheck-status-emoji-mode customization option.

First public release

This is the first public release of flycheck-status-emoji. It has been working well for me, so now it’s time to let others try it out. Enjoy!
