As you probably know, fish release available in [community] is very old. Code hasn't been updated since 2009. Official website doesn't work currently, but there was the info that development is stalled.
Alex Søndergaard suggested switching to Ridiculous Fish' fork[1]. It provides almost identical set of features, but I'm not sure about compatibility, that's why it goes to [community-testing] first.
Current release "beta2" is rather pacman unfriendly, but incoming stable release will be versioned as "2.0", so say hello to fish-2.0b2.
Happy testing!
Thank you for packaging this gem. I follow the development of fish rather closely and I can say that the fish community, including the original author [1] treats this new fork as official. Development was moved over to github as the fish-shell-git AUR package reflects this. ridiculousfish and siteshwar have rewritten the code: "It's all in (sane) C++. No more string_buffer_t, array_list_t, or hash_table_t, and no more halloc!" [2].
