Full Changelog: v0.62.0...v0.62.1

v0.62.0

The big change in this release is what I have been referring to as the "keybinding revamp": it allows you to use richer keybindings than the few that were available before; see Custom_Keybindings.md for details. It also describes a new keybinding syntax that is a bit more intuitive than the previous <c-x> notation (but the old one is still supported for backwards compatibility).

Note the section about Terminal compatibility in that document; not all terminals support the new protocol equally well, so it may be a good idea to switch to one that does.

Breaking change: The default keybinding for submitting a commit from the commit description editor has changed from alt-enter to command-enter on Mac, or ctrl-enter on Linux and Windows; these are the same bindings that are used in many multi-line edit field situations, e.g. in GitHub comments. Unfortunately these are not supported by all terminals; see the above-mentioned terminal compatibility for more on that. If you want to revert this change, you can do so by adding the following to your config:

keybinding:
  universal:
    confirmInEditor: [<alt+enter>, <ctrl+s>]

The complete list of changes follows:

Full Changelog: v0.58.1...v0.59.0

v0.58.1

This is a hotfix release that fixes the known issues with 0.58.

To expand on this a bit: in 0.58 we updated our TUI library tcell to a new version that made significant under-the-hood changes; this allowed us to fix several rendering issues, mostly related to wide characters like some emojis. Apart from that, there are few user visible changes with this update, but it lays the ground for future enhancements like support for more keybindings.

However, since the changes are so fundamental it also introduced a number of regressions, and I'm not really surprised about that. Most of these were bugs in tcell that have been fixed upstream now, but some were on our side. This release fixes the ones I know about. If you still have issues, please report them!
