1.2.0
As Steve Ballmer famously said: Fixes! Fixes! Fixes! We do one better and also have new features.
I expect the rate of releases to rise quadratically from now on. 1.1e19.0 should be out in a few weeks.
To Linux package maintainers: We now added an official recommendation for package names to our README.
Changes
- The Open/Save file dialog now features filename autocompletion (#185, #464) (thanks 0x4C33 (@haoruilee))
- The encoding picker is now 100% less confusing and has a fuzzy search field (#255) (thanks b6k)
If you couldn't find Shift-JIS before, because we called it "ibm-943_P15A-2003", rest easy: It's now called "Shift_JIS" as you'd expect. - Control characters are now shown in yellow (#378)
This will make it a lot easier to spot them at a glance! - You can now duplicate lines by simply pressing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V (#405)
- We'll now detect if your terminal treats "ambiguous" characters as "wide" (#406)
This may be a welcome change for those of you who use CJK characters on Linux. It also fixes issues with the older Windows Console when you use fonts such as "MS Gothic". - Seeking across lines is now up to hundreds of times faster (#408)
If you had issues browsing 1GB+ files before: Now you don't. On my CPU it runs at up to 160GB/s!
