v2.4 (2021-04-11)

This release, hot on the heels of the 2.3 release last week, is primarily to address some bugs that were found in 2.3.
Originally it was slated to be a patch release (2.3.1), but the removal of options.use_default_colors with the fix for #939 and the semantics of splitwindow felt sufficient to warrant a minor version bump, and so we tossed the few other improvements that were sitting on the develop branch.

Improvements

• [color] remove options.use_default_colors (thanks @lxcode #939)

  • options.color_default can now have both fg and bg
  • other color options which do not specify fg or bg will use the missing component from color_default
  • to use terminal default colors, set options.color_default=""

• [splitwindow] stabilize sheet stack associations

  • Shift+Z pushes 'under sheet' (if any) onto other stack
  • Shift+Z does not swap panes anymore
  • g Tab changes which stack is in the top vs bottom panes
  • options.disp_splitwin_pct cannot be sheet-specific

• [status] show nSelectedRows on rstatus

Bugfixes

• [pyobj-show-hidden] grab visibility lvl from sheet specific option (thanks @frosencrantz #947)
• [splitwin] prevent flickering-on-full-window
• [splitwin] if top sheet quit, keep bottom sheet in bottom pane

Loader specific bugfixes

• [gzip] fix progress bar when opening gzip (thanks @geekscrapy #925)
• [http] fix loading files from url without specifying filetype
• [sqlite] use TABLE_XINFO for hidden/virtual columns (thanks @dotcs #945)
• [sqlite] reload perf: load without pre-counting rows (which required 2nd full table scan)
• [vds] save typed values instead of formatted display values (thanks @frosencrantz #885)
• [xlsx] stringify "header" row values for column names (thanks @DAVIDWALES #921)
