0.3.2

Features

• Live Diff plugin (experimental): Unified-diff overlay rendered live in the editable buffer. If your file is unmodified in the editor, it updates as the file changes on disk when auto-revert kicks in - great for watching an agent edit your file. Opt-in via Live Diff: Toggle (Global) / Live Diff: Toggle (Buffer). Reference selectable per buffer: vs HEAD / vs Disk / vs Branch... / vs Default Branch.

• New Startup section in Settings (open Settings and search "Startup") groups everything that fires on launch:

  • Blank-workspace flow (#1753) — Auto Create Empty Buffer On Last Buffer Close (Editor) and Auto Open On Last Buffer Close (File Explorer). With both off, closing the last buffer leaves a truly blank pane (no [No Name], no gutter, no ~); buffer-specific status-bar items and menu entries are suppressed, and a subdued centered hint shows the keys to escape (Ctrl+P / Ctrl+O / Ctrl+E).
  • Skip Session Restore When Files Passed — fresh src/main.rs opens just that file; bare fresh and fresh some/dir still restore. Hot-exit recovery still runs. --restore overrides.
  • Restore Previous Session (existing, moved into Startup).

• File explorer side (thanks @paveloparev!): Side under File Explorer in Settings — left or right.

• Prompt Line now hidden by default: Show Prompt Line now defaults off — the prompt line only appears while a prompt is active. Turn it back on via Settings.

• Mark mode preserved through Go to Line so you can extend selections across the jump. Use Set Mark command followed by Goto Line to start a selection and extend it to the target line.

• Copy File Path commands: New commands: "Copy File Path" and "Copy Relative File Path" to copy current buffer's path to your clipboard. Also available by right-clicking on a tab name.

• CLI Help Localization: The --help output is now fully localized using runtime i18n lookups.

• Relative +/- Goto Line: Infers absolute vs relative jumps from a leading sign (e.g., :+10 jumps 10 lines down, :10 jumps to line 10).

• Rust Toolchain Update: Updated to Rust 1.95 in rust-toolchain.toml to fix compatibility issues with newer LLVM/clang versions on systems like Arch Linux (#1782).

Improvements

• Plugin loading deferred off the boot critical path — another ~225 ms saved. Same load order, same hooks, just async.

• Popup focus: LSP popups that auto-show on file open (status popup, hover, signature help, plugin Text overlays) no longer steal the next keystroke. They show unfocused with an [Alt+T to focus] hint; user-invoked popups (Completion, code actions, status-bar {remote}, LSP-status menu) still grab focus on show. Settings / Menu / Prompt modals take precedence over unfocused buffer popups for Esc / popup_focus.

• Status Bar visual integration (#1711): The "Palette: Ctrl+P" hint and "LSP (on)" indicator now blend into the status bar by default. Built-in themes have been updated with coherent prominent colors for these indicators.

• Prompt interaction and scrolling (#1660):

  • Minimal scrolling: the suggestion list no longer recenters the selection on every move, preventing "row jumping" during navigation.
  • Clicks no longer cause accidental list shifts; double-click correctly confirms selections.
  • Preview-on-click supported for "Reload with encoding".

• Global Menu Bar: "Toggle Menu Bar" state is now persisted globally across all workspaces.

• Windows integration: High-quality app icon applied to the running window; app manifest and version info embedded in the binary.

Bug Fixes

• Windows subprocesses: Transient console windows are now hidden when spawning subprocesses (e.g., formatters, linters).

• Terminal CWD: Fixed shell spawning failure on Windows when the current directory has a \\?\ UNC prefix.

• Live Diff stability: Fixed crashes on surrogate-pair content (emojis) and corrected gutter rendering for empty lines inside added blocks.

Under the Hood

• Syntax Highlight Caching: New multi-phase caching system (memoised scope lookups and whole-file cache for small files) significantly reduces CPU usage during rendering.
