0.3.7

Introduces an experimental multi-window orchestrator command (Alt+Q) - a UI that manages multiple Fresh windows side by side in a single Fresh process.

Features / Improvements

Orchestrator (early experiment)

The new orchestrator command (Alt+Q) lets one Fresh process juggle several independent windows — switch between sessions, open new ones from a project path / branch, or visit one in a separate Fresh process. This is an early experiment; expect rough edges. Please share your ideas and bug reports!

Search and Replace

Made an effort to improve the search & replace command, tackling several issues:

• All Files scope toggle + dedicated current-file command.
• Editor shortcuts (Ctrl+P etc.) pass through the panel.
• Proper empty / searching / no-results states.
• Large result sets stay responsive — incremental tree, throttled streaming, capped per-iteration work.

Git Log / Review Diff

• Performance: Per-commit diffs stream into file-backed buffers with full syntax highlighting, per-line add/delete backgrounds, working scrollbar, and Fold by File / Fold by Hunk commands. Now opens the famous "rewrite bun in rust" commit instantly!
• Open file at commit (#1962): jump from a diff line in the review-branch detail panel to the file at that commit (read-only, q to go back).

File Explorer

• Compact directories (#1406, thanks @Nandaleio!): a directory containing a single child directory renders inline as com.example.name, VSCode/IntelliJ-style. On by default; toggle with file_explorer.compact_directories.
• Configurable tree indicators (#1940, reported by @MicTheSquid): expand/collapse glyphs themable via File Explorer → Tree Indicator Expanded / Collapsed in the Settings UI.

Plugins & API

• git_statusbar plugin + status-bar token registration API (thanks @PavelLoparev!): show the current git branch in the status bar; plugins register their own tokens via editor.registerStatusBarElement. Add via Settings → Editor → Status Bar → Left / Right.
• tab_actions plugin (#1844, thanks @PavelLoparev!): close all / to-the-left / to-the-right and move tabs within the current split.
• Plugins can register their own config items: a new typed registration API lets plugins declare settings that appear in the Settings UI alongside built-in ones (sorted at the bottom of the category list), so users can toggle plugin behaviour from the same place as everything else. The bundled vi_mode plugin uses it to expose an autoStart option.

Editing & Widgets

• Add Cursors to Line Ends (#1870, reported by @aquasync): places a cursor at the end of every line in the selection.
• Widget text inputs gain real selection rendering, Shift+arrow / Ctrl+Shift+arrow extension, and Ctrl+C/V/X/A — used by Search & Replace and plugin dialogs.
• Floating completion popup on widget Text inputs.

Live Diff

• Word-level underline highlights on deletion lines; similarity threshold and size caps are runtime-tunable, so large diffs render as modified lines rather than paired add/remove blocks.

Bug Fixes

• init.ts setAutoOpen(false) ignored: dashboard auto-open is now driven by the ready hook so user init.ts runs first.

Git Log / Review Diff

• Detail panel PageUp / PageDown (action name was wrong); scrollbar now functional on the streamed buffer.

File Explorer

• UI / navigation shortcuts (#1903): Ctrl+P and friends are no longer swallowed when the file explorer has focus.
• Switch Project double-click (#1931, reported by @SolarLune): double-clicking a directory navigates into it instead of dismissing the dialog.

Plugins

• Plugin init scaffold (#1986, @PavelLoparev): new plugins now generate fresh.entry (the current entry-point name) instead of stale fresh.main.
• Idle CPU from git plugins (#2009, #2012): git_statusbar and merge_conflict no longer spawn idle subprocesses; git_statusbar is driven off watchPath(.git/HEAD).

Editing

• Smart Home with multiple cursors: now runs for every cursor, not only the primary.
• Soft wrap at trailing space (#1363, reported by @dragonfyre13): when a trailing space would overflow the wrap column, wrap backs up one word instead of breaking mid-token.
• Horizontal scroll-to-view on long lines (#1873): the viewport now follows the cursor on long lines.

Live Diff

• Wrapped overlay backgrounds now extend across every visual row of a wrapped line.

Rendering

• Highlighter cache preserved across bulk edits (#1958): large pastes and replace-all no longer trigger a whole-file reparse.
• Phantom cursor offscreen (#1965): a buffer cursor scrolled past the viewport no longer leaves a stray block at the screen edge.
• Split separator background (#1963): separator cells now paint with editor_bg so split borders blend with the panes.
• Next / Prev Split un-maximizes (#1961): navigating to another split un-maximizes first.
• Stable cursor-position indicator (#1967): Ln L, Col C no longer jitters as the column count grows.
• PTY terminal background now fills the render rect with the editor bg.
• Nostalgia theme (#1890, reported by @NGRIT41): terminal-pane blue now covers full pane.
• Column rulers suppressed on virtual buffers (dashboard, PTY panes, etc.).

Misc

• No more stray .fresh/ directory in your working dir (#1991): orchestrator/cross-restart state now lives under data_dir instead of being dropped next to your project files.
• Buffer "library path" detection (#1970, reported by @FF-AntiK): only .cargo/registry and .cargo/git are treated as Cargo library paths — local .cargo/config.toml etc. are no longer flagged.
• Julia grammar (#1852, reported by @goszlanyi): the adjoint operator (') no longer flips the rest of the line into string mode.
• move_word_end / select_word_end labels (#1878, reported by @sour-dani): translated in all locales.
