Features

• Review Diff, reworked: a file sidebar with per-file status, change counts, and comment badges, grouped by directory; an in-panel side-by-side view that keeps the sidebar; a multi-line comments panel, with commenting available anywhere in the diff; a watch mode (W) that reloads the diff on save; reviewing a git stash; split/stack/auto layout toggles, a / file filter, and reworked keyboard navigation (Tab focus model, cross-file n/p).
• Workspace trust & environments: a first-class, clickable {trust} element now leads the status bar; virtualenvs activate without a prompt, shell envs get a single combined trust-and-activate prompt, and env pills in the status bar are clickable. Changing the trust level resets only the active session instead of the whole editor.
• Per-session backends: each session now owns its environment, trust level, and backend (local / SSH / Kubernetes / devcontainer). Remote sessions survive a restart and reconnect when activated; restored agent sessions re-run their agent instead of coming back as a blank terminal, and the New Session dialog gained an agent-command dropdown.
• Terminal: send the selection (or current line) to the terminal (#1871, requested by @aquasync); Ctrl+Click or Ctrl+hover opens file paths from terminal output, including scrollback; the shell working directory is tracked via OSC 7.
• Configurable indentation rules per language via [languages.<id>.indent], including VS Code-style regex rules. 14 indent-only tree-sitter grammars were replaced by these rules, shrinking the binary by ~18 MB.
• GDScript language support (#2238, by @richiehowelll).
• lsp_enabled master switch to disable all LSP features globally (#1770, requested by @XhstormR).
• auto_read_only option to turn off automatic read-only mode for foreign files (#2048).
• Occurrence highlighting toggle with configuration (#2154, by @masmu), and the current-line highlight now hides while text is selected (#2153, by @masmu).
• Clear Search action and a plugin API exposing the active search state (#2152, by @masmu).
• File Explorer slot override API for plugins: icons, status, and name color (#2241, by @Agrejus).
• '+' new-tab button in the tab bar, with a New Terminal / New File popup.
• A color-transition animation on theme switch, and a wave animation — available as a command and as an optional idle screensaver.

Improvements

• Live Diff: word-level highlighting inside changed line pairs (#1949, requested by @masapu).
• Status bar: configurable separator with dedicated theme keys; the default separator is now padding-only and the default left side leads with {trust}.
• Orchestrator dock: seamless-tab look for the active session, a hover-only overlay scrollbar, a stable session order, keyboard-navigable project dropdown, and clicking an inactive worktree opens it without an extra confirmation.
• File Explorer: natural-order filename sorting (#2073, requested by @mandolyte).
• q closes the Keyboard Shortcuts and Fresh Manual viewers (#2165).
• Undoing a format-on-save or trim rewrite keeps the view in place (#2027, requested by @SolarLune).

Bug Fixes

• Windows: the TUI attaches to the parent process's stdio instead of failing in -gui builds (#2276, reported and fixed by @mokurin000 in #2277).
• Right-side status bar elements render with configurable separators (#2088, reported and fixed by @PavelLoparev), and cursor column numbers are grapheme-correct (#2090, reported and fixed by @PavelLoparev).
• Scroll panels compute focus offsets from the render width when a scrollbar is present (#2175, by @masmu).
• Restored windows no longer show a blank editor pane from an orphaned split leaf (#2267).
• Paste reaches Settings/dialog text fields instead of the buffer behind them, and buffer pastes work again after closing the dialog (#2246).
• Tab bar scroll re-anchors after closing many tabs, keeping the surviving tab visible (#2229, reported by @dmknght).
• LSP code actions now include diagnostics context, so diagnostic-based fixes appear (#2212).
• Devcontainer CLI detection works when the CLI is installed via Bun on Windows (#2201, reported by @steve-price-immybot).
• install.sh / AUR fresh-editor-bin packaging fixed (#2249, reported by @asukaminato0721; #2250, reported by @bandrefilipe).
• Focusing a restored terminal tab activates terminal mode.
