v0.18.0

What's Changed

Highlights

Hunk 0.18.0 makes reviews more precise, customizable, and extensible—while improving performance and reliability across large repositories and diverse terminals.

• A full extension platform. Install TypeScript extensions that add VCS backends, commands, sidebars, dialogs, interactive file views, themes, and workspace actions.
• Line-level review and commenting. A visible cursor moves with j/k, and c comments exactly where you are looking.
• Richer agent context. Experimental STML notes provide structured, terminal-native explanations with preview and layout tools.
• Full reviews from pipelines. Piped diffs retain navigation, filtering, layouts, sidebars, and other review controls.
• A UI that follows your preferences. Remapped shortcuts appear correctly, view settings can be saved, and tabs and syntax colors are configurable.
• Faster and more dependable reviews. Watch mode uses less CPU, navigation retains less memory, wrapped Unicode is faster, and CJK and emoji filenames render correctly.
