Pulsar 1.117.0: With special love for Markdown and Tree-sitter

As somewhat expected, this release is full of new improvements for Tree-sitter grammars! With SCSS now having Tree-sitter support, to Ruby getting an updated parser, or performance and highlighting enhancements in Markdown and TypeScript there's hopefully something in there for everybody. Speaking of Markdown, the markdown-preview package has gotten new features and improvements with significant performance increases in the preview pane and rendering fenced code blocks, while still boasting brand new dark mode support! But dark mode support doesn't stop there, Pulsar now, optionally, supports OS-level dark mode that syncs with the actively selected Theme within the app, meaning that if enabled Pulsar will change its window theme within the OS to match any built-in or community theme.

Beyond the fixes and features within the editor itself, you'll be glad to know this release also saw many improvements for our Continuous Integration to ensure we can deliver timely and bug-free updates in the future.

Until next time, happy coding, and see you amongst the stars!
