e 0.4.8 — Terminal scrollback & colours, security & performance fixes

Added

  • Terminal scrollback (5000 lines): scroll up with the mouse wheel to review
    earlier output; the view stays anchored while output streams and snaps back to
    the bottom when you type.
  • Terminal background colours (SGR 40–47/100–107 and 256/true-colour) — git diff, coloured errors and search tools keep their highlighting.

Changed

  • SSH passwords are no longer written to disk: the askpass helper reads the
    secret from an environment variable that only lives in memory.
  • External-change file polling runs off the UI thread, so the editor never stalls
    on slow or network filesystems.
  • External reloads honour the file's detected encoding (UTF-16/Windows-1252).

Fixed

  • Language servers now shut down gracefully (shutdown + exit) and their stderr is
    logged instead of discarded, making LSP issues diagnosable.

Includes a universal macOS .dmg installer below.
