What's New

Features and new behavior:

• New list-fuzzy / lsf command allows you to quickly skim a project's namespaces using fzf, and list one upon selection.
• New branch.squash command copies the current branch, but with a collapsed history.
• add and update are the same command now.
• On name resolution failure, UCM now suggests similar names, (Thanks @xmbhasin!)
• edit.namespace now includes . as its top fzf suggestion.
• We added tab-completion and fzf completion for file arguments.
• Releases will include linux-arm64 builds going forward.

Experimental:

• Setting the UNISON_USE_UPDATE_V2 environment variable enables a new workflow for update, which puts you into a new branch to complete the update, analogous to the merge command. More details at #5710.

Speedups:

• Lots of work to improve ability handler optimizations.
• Faster merge startup.

Fixes:

• The scratch file watcher behaves more predictably.
• upgrade avoids ending up with __2 names in some cases
• The transcript runner no longer bombs if ucm is open due to ports being in use.
• Runtime panics can produce better error messages.
• back no longer fails due to navigating to a deleted branch.
• Fixes a runtime issue involving nested lambdas
