r42

Changed

• The key <backspace2> has been renamed to <backspace> for map keybindings (#2286).
• .Stat.DirSize and .Stat.DirCount in the ruler file no longer have a pointer type, and will be set to -1 instead of nil if the corresponding value cannot be determined (#2397).
• setlocal commands no longer support the ability to specify recursive directories (#2415). For use cases where setlocal should apply to a directory based on some condition, it is recommended to script this inside the on-load hook command.
• On Windows, files are now considered executable according to PATHEXT when matching colors and icons (#2448).
• The rulerfmt and statfmt options are now marked as deprecated in favor of using the ruler file (configured using the rulerfile option), and will be removed in a future release (#2477).
• The client server connection will now exclusively use Unix domain sockets on Windows and no longer fall back to TCP sockets (#2527).
• The fallback location of the server socket (used if XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined) is changed from /tmp/lf.<user>.sock to /tmp/lf-<uid>/lf.sock, and the containing directory must be owned by the current user (#2532).
• The ignorecase and ignoredia options (intended for searching) no longer affect sorting, and instead sortignorecase and sortignoredia have been added to customize sorting (#2543).
• Previews are now marked as binary if they contain a control character other than bell, backspace, tab, newline, vertical tab, form feed, carriage return, escape or delete (#2561). Previously only null bytes were used to detect binary previews.

Added

• Emoji sequences containing Zero Width Joiner characters are now displayed as a single combined glyph (#2286).
• Key combinations such as <c-h> and <backspace> can now be distinguished when supported by the terminal (#2286) (#2496).
• A new field .All is added to the ruler file to display the number of all files (i.e. visible + hidden) in the current working directory (#2376).
• A new option numbercursorfmt is added to further customize the appearance of line numbers (#2395).
• The loading... message delay of 100 milliseconds for file previews is now applied to directories as well (#2410).
• lf will now automatically change to the parent directory if the current directory no longer exists and the watch option is enabled (#2424).
• A new option terminalcursor is added to customize the appearance of the terminal cursor (#2441).
• A new option borderstyle is added to control whether drawbox draws an outline, separators, or both (#2445). This also replaces the existing roundbox option.

Fixed

• Previews are now cleaned when changing to an empty directory (#2369).
• The dircounts indicator for errors is changed back to ! instead of ? (#2372).
• Previews are now correctly updated on visual-change (#2373).
• The select command can now select files immediately after creation as part of a script (#2377).
• The on-load hook command now ignores .git directories to reduce flicker and repeated on-load triggers (#2382).
• Preview messages like empty or loading... have their alignment improved (#2400).
• A bug where the loading... message was not displayed for volatile previews after the first time is now fixed (#2410).
• The cmd-transpose command now advances the cursor correctly after swapping characters (#2413).
• Symbolic links are no longer followed when changing directories (#2423).
• Using the select command with a blank string as the argument now properly raises an error instead of changing to the parent directory (#2429).
• The number of bytes read is now limited for previews that contain extremely long lines (#2458).
• Control characters are now stripped from previews to prevent dangerous terminal sequences from being processed if the default previewer is used (#2459).
• Various fixes have been made to sanitize input data and prevent terminal sequence injection (#2467) (#2540) (#2542) (#2546) (#2590) (#2603).
• Sixel images with the same height as the preview window are now displayed correctly when using tmux (#2474).
• A bug where previews were loaded according to the old dimensions of the preview window following a terminal resize is now fixed (#2491).
• Completion matches are now properly aligned if they contain terminal sequences (#2511).
• load commands are now processed when the watch option is enabled, which should fix various issues with refreshing updated files/directories (#2513).
• Parsing octal values in strings are now restricted to numbers between 0 and 255 (#2516).
• Color values are now validated (must be between 0 and 255) when parsing terminal sequences (#2517).
• Directories are now refreshed properly after using the cd command (#2518).
• Successfully copied files are no longer deleted if their timestamps could not be preserved (#2519).
• Previews no longer flicker when the terminal height decreases (#2537).
• Symbolic linked directories are now updated properly when the watch option is enabled (#2550).
• Previews of modified files are now updated properly when the preload option is enabled (#2567).
• Previews of files other than the current file are now reloaded immediately after being modified when the watch option is enabled (#2594) (#2602) (#2648).
• The loading... message now shows for files that are reloading due to being modified (#2597).
• Attempting to copy a directory into itself will now result in an error (#2608) (#2623).
• The permissions of state files (i.e. files/history/marks/tags) is now changed to only be accessible by the owner (#2612).
• Broken symbolic links are no longer silently overwritten when moving files (#2619).
• Using the copy or cut command with a path containing newline characters now results in an error instead of silently omitting the path (#2620).
