Release Notes

Four adversarial review passes, completing the first phase of the work towards
1.0. Two of them found crashes, one found a way for a third-party news feed to
grind the dashboard down, and one found a bug in code three days old.

Removed

  • The unused-widget notice. mirador used to name the widgets your layout
    does not place — once in the status bar at startup, and permanently in the
    help overlay. The status bar line retired on your first keypress; the overlay
    section did not, so if you had deliberately switched four panels off you were
    told about them every time you pressed ?.

    A dashboard cannot tell "has not discovered this yet" from "decided against
    it", so a hint aimed at the first reminds the second for ever. w is still on
    the status bar and in the help, so the way to switch a panel on is unchanged;
    what is gone is being told that you should.

Changed

  • The default watchlist leads with the major US indexes — S&P 500, Dow,
    Nasdaq Composite, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq-100 — keeping AAPL and MSFT so
    the panel shows both kinds on a first run. This seeds the watchlist file on a
    first run only, so an existing installation is untouched.

  • News headlines are clipped to 400 characters when read, links to 1,000 and
    feed names to 80. See below for why; no real headline comes close.

Fixed

  • A one-column terminal could bring the dashboard down. The prompt dialog
    computed its cursor position as popup.x + popup.width - 2, which underflowed
    once the popup was clamped to a screen narrower than itself. Reachable by
    resizing your terminal while a prompt is open.

  • A news feed could decide how much work mirador does. Nothing bounded the
    text read out of a feed, and everything downstream of a story runs on every
    frame — the headline is wrapped, the feed name uppercased. A 2 MB headline
    wrapped to 40,000 lines and cost 72ms a frame, and the HTTP body limit
    allows five times that. A feed is the one input to this program that somebody
    else writes.

  • Place names and paths in non-Latin scripts drew over their own edges. The
    text field measured its scroll window in characters rather than display
    cells, so a six-column field holding 北京市中心 decided five characters fit
    and drew ten cells, with the caret landing in the middle of a glyph.

  • A long line in a note body took the cursor off the screen. The editor
    deliberately does not wrap — a soft wrap that moves as you type makes the
    cursor impossible to follow — and that had quietly come to mean you could keep
    typing past the right-hand edge and see none of it. It scrolls sideways now.

  • Arrange mode could rescale rows you had not touched. Pushing a panel off
    the edge of a thin row grew the total of the layout weights, so a dashboard
    written as two equal rows became three unequal ones. Layouts written without
    explicit heights were the ones affected.

  • A list that got shorter left its cursor stranded. Pressing Up walked the
    selection down from wherever it had been, one row at a time, with nothing
    highlighted the whole way. Down had always pulled it back into range; both do
    now.

  • Alt and a letter typed the letter into a note body, where the task title
    field had always ignored it.

  • Moving the text cursor in the timezone picker threw away your place in the
    list.     Left and Right were handled as though you had typed.

  • A panel graph handed an area larger than the screen panicked rather than
    drawing what fits, and a sample buffer given a capacity of zero spun for ever.
    Neither was reachable from any current caller; both are closed.

  • Rearranging a layout written with [[layout.rows]] sections said only
    "no [layout] rows found", about a file that visibly has rows. It now names
    the form it can rewrite. That form is still the only one mirador edits.
