Switched the history from using the XDG_CACHE_HOME directory by default to use XDG_STATE_HOME by default. This makes sense since cache can (and should be prepared to) be wiped at any moment and the program functionality should not be hindered by this. Since we need to retain history through such wipes the newly introduced state directory is the perfect match for keeping the history file in. This does constitute a breaking change for existing histories which need to be moved to the new directory if they made use of the old cache directory. Concurrent with this we are renaming `XDG_CACHE_LOCATION` environment variable to `XDG_HISTORY_LOCATION` so this is a second breaking change for those using a custom location for their histories. This change attempts to make the naming scheme coherent and remove some left-over naming cruft from the old location being the cache directory. This provides one of the larger changes to the program so far. Fixes #5.

### Changed
|
||||
|
||||
- (!) History uses `XDG_STATE_HOME` directory by default:
|
||||
This constitutes a break in behavior if you relied a lot on your pick history in the default
|
||||
location. To retain your old history file, simply move it from the old cache directory
|
||||
(`~/.cache/bemoji-history.txt` by default) to the new one (`~/.local/state/bemoji-history.txt`
|
||||
by default).
|
||||
- (!) `XDG_CACHE_LOCATION` renamed to `XDG_HISTORY_LOCATION` to better signify its purpose
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ### Deprecated -->
