Mice, OpenAI, and You

Crush v0.3.0 is here with highly anticipated mouse selection, OpenAI provider improvements, and lots of little fixes and improvements. Enjoy the release and keep the feedback coming!

Copying Text, with a Mouse

Selecting text with a mouse. It's as natural as craving love and shelter. Crush now supports it, so go ahead and select text with a mouse to your hearts' content.

Drag Race

You can now drag images into Crush in almost any terminal; even Apple Terminal. The visible world is at your fingertips! Just note that not all models can process images.

OpenAI

We improved prompts for OpenAI models and introduced support for minimal reasons. You're welcome, Sam.

GPT-5

Speaking of OpenAI, GPT-5 was released today Crush supports it out of the box! Have fun!

Nixpkgs

Crush is on Nixpkgs unstable now! Just keep in mind it can be slightly behind the latest version, so for best results, use Crush the NUR. For details see the installation instructions.

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.3.0/checksums.txt'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --cert 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.3.0/checksums.txt.pem' \
  --signature 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.3.0/checksums.txt.sig' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
