For live updates on Fresh, follow me on X.

Most config options below can be changed in the Settings UI - run Open Settings from the command palette (Ctrl+P).

Features

• Compare Files - fresh --diff A B shows any two files side by side, both editable (#3611, requested by @cherio)
• Universal Search across all workspaces - toggle All workspaces (Alt+A) to search every local workspace's files, unsaved buffers and terminals; Enter jumps there (#3654)
• fresh --update - alias for fresh --cmd update, which now asks before installing instead of looking like a finished update (#3064, #3614, reported by @davidwooff)
• Shift+Home selects to the first non-blank character first, then column 0, like Home - new select_smart_home action (#3585, #3669, requested by @notnout)
• Nix installation noted on the homepage (#3635, by @dwt)

Bug Fixes

• Idle CPU, memory and log growth from git_statusbar on Linux - file reads no longer count as changes, which re-ran git several times a second (#3607, #3659, reported by @naoto-anzai)
• Search & Replace honours Case Sensitive and Whole Word (#3575, #3640, reported by @Korkman)
• Unsaved work is kept in one place whatever the launch mode - one buffer per file, saves refuse to overwrite a file another Fresh has open, sudo saves are crash-safe, and switching workspaces keeps your tab in front (#3633, #3639, #3660)
• Hot exit entries are replaced atomically by a save (#3626, #3627)
• Undo restores the exact bytes of a deleted non-UTF-8 byte instead of writing U+FFFD on save (#3652, #3655)
• Sudo-saving a new file no longer creates it with mode 000 (#3641, #3653, reported by @ViolinKaine)
• Files over SSH are writable when the remote user owns them, even if local and remote UIDs differ (#2944, #3669, reported by @mommysgoodpuppy)
• Ctrl+V in a terminal pane reaches the program when the clipboard has no text, so agent CLIs can paste images; turn off with terminal.pass_ctrl_v_without_text (#3129, #3658, reported by @andreivinca)
• Typing in long wrapped lines is one frame per key and no longer stutters (#3631, #3632, reported by @jmote)
• Home, End, Up and Down after fast typing land in the right place (#3642, #3656)
• Replace-all on huge files uses far less memory (#3642, #3657)
• Orchestrator picker returns the keyboard to the dock only if it had it, so arrow keys no longer reach a terminal shell (#3136, #3661)
• Terminal fixes
  • macOS clipboard errors no longer paint over the screen (#3662, #3664, reported by @mruff-aeq)
  • kitty keyboard protocol is enabled for clients attached to the daemon, so Super shortcuts work (#3618, #3640, reported by @S-AM-I)
• Exported Bash functions survive environment capture (#3586, #3640, reported by @warrenfalk)
• A workspace file that exists but can't be opened keeps its place in the layout (#3532, #3640)
• Ctrl+P list fits on short terminals instead of covering the input line (#3578, #3669)
• View menu Line Numbers / Line Wrap show the real setting on terminal and Welcome tabs and are greyed out there (#3550, #3669, reported by @sjsepan3)
• Status bar shows "Bash" instead of "Bourne Again Shell (bash)" (#2727, #3669, reported by @720720)
• Palette hint bar colors follow the selected-row foreground, so themes are easier to style (#3616, #3653, reported by @Korkman)
• Search & replace polish - Unicode word highlights, replace within a multi-line selection, cheaper recovery for large replace-alls, accurate Live Grep over terminals (#3645, #3648)
• Markdown Source/Compose scroll sync no longer drifts or stalls (#3609)
• Plugin panels recolor when rewritten to text of the same length (#3646, #3647)
• Macros with plugin-bound keys replay once and in order, without timer ticks (#3595, #3597)
• fresh --diff opens without an empty-editor flash and scrolls smoothly (#3630)
• Docs - tabs vs spaces, auto_revert_poll_interval_ms, and the rendering architecture are corrected (#3114, #3272, #3599, #3669, #3653; #3114 reported by @sgon00)

Internals

• Plugin API - runOnTarget / a machine's run replaces the deprecated spawnProcess; plugin calls can target another workspace; plugin commands from a hook apply as one batch (#3637, #3654)
• Debian packaging, CI sharding and advisory fixes, dependency bumps, flaky-test fixes (#3593, #3596, #3604, #3605, #3606, #3629, #3650, #3651)
