Breaking Change
This release changes the entire configuration language of Zellij from YAML to KDL. For configuration, layouts and themes.
When Zellij starts, it will prompt the user before converting the files automatically. The originals will not be modified.
This can also be done manually:
zellij convert-config /path/to/my/config.yaml > /path/to/my/config.kdl
zellij convert-layout /path/to/my/layout.yaml > /path/to/my/layout.kdl
zellij convert-theme /path/to/my/theme.yaml > /path/to/my/theme.kdlAll changes
