New Features

  • The context menu in TreeView is now navigable with a keyboard.
    (#1338)

  • A universal build of Lite XL is now available for macOS.
    This build runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon macs.
    (#1458)

  • Most Unicode characters should be displayed properly
    if your fonts support them.
    (#1524)

  • LogView will no longer scroll automatically if the user had scrolled.
    The LogView will only scroll automatically when the user scrolls up
    to the last entry.
    (#1546)

  • When using different fonts (especially fonts that render different scripts),
    the letters will be aligned vertically.
    (#1560)

  • Unsaved named files are now saved in the workspace.
    (#1597)

  • macOS builds are now signed with a developer certificate.
    This allows the user to right click the application in Finder and execute
    it directly.
    (#1656)

Performance Improvements

  • Allow command buffer to be expanded.
    (#1297)

  • Use table.move to implement common.splice.
    (#1324)

  • Create renderer only when it doesn't exist.
    (#1315)

  • Avoid drawing hidden text in DocView:draw_line_text.
    (#1298)

  • Don't calculate widths per-uft8-char when not needed.
    (#1409)

  • Allow tokenizer to pause and resume in the middle of a line.
    (#1444)

  • Optimize CI build times on MSYS2.
    (#1435)

  • Significant memory usage improvements when using huge fonts on Windows.
    (#1555)

  • The program should be much more responsive when running background tasks.
    (#1601)

Backward Incompatible Changes

  • The native plugin API is now usable on multiple source files,
    without causing any duplicated symbol errors during compilation.
    Plugins using the new plugin API header must define LITE_XL_PLUGIN_ENTRYPOINT
    before importing the header, in one of their source files.
    (#1335)

  • The native plugin API header now follows the Lua 5.4 API.
    Previously, the plugin API header followed the Lua 5.2 API.
    (#1436)

  • On Linux, process.start() will now throw an error if execv() fails.
    (#1363)

  • Lite XL will use the default SCALE of 1 due to unreliable display
    scale detection. This may be fixed in a later version of Lite XL.
    Set the LITE_SCALE environment variable to override this value.
