Corta v1.2.2

Changed

  • Building a frame's instances takes a third or more less CPU when the whole
    screen changes: the per-cell reads of the terminal core and the glyph
    cache's ASCII hits are inlined. Text joined by combining marks, emoji
    modifiers or flag pairs no longer allocates per character as it arrives.

Removed

  • Directory-history favourites. Nothing in the app could ever mark a
    directory as one, so the history now ranks by frecency alone; a history
    file that still carries the old flag loads as before.
  • The experimental per-window render thread (CORTA_RENDER_THREAD=1), which
    was off by default and never shown to save power. Every window renders on
    the main thread, as it always has by default.

Fixed

  • A selection disappears when the program running in the pane rewrites the
    text it covers. Claude Code's in-place redraws left a highlight lying
    across unrelated text that a click could not remove (#341).
  • The input-source badge beside the prompt takes its text colour from the
    terminal theme, as the directory hint does, so a theme darker or lighter
    than macOS no longer draws it dark on dark (#348).
  • After a crash, restored tabs keep the tab that was selected and the names
    given to them: switching or renaming a tab now saves the arrangement, as
    moving or resizing a window already did.
  • A pane no longer risks drawing its whole session in a fallback font
    with no letters when macOS's font service hiccups as the pane opens: the
    terminal font's fallback list is applied to the font already loaded
    instead of looking the font up again.
  • A split's focus ring, and the settings rows' status icons, follow
    Increase Contrast when it is switched while Corta runs, instead of
    keeping the width and colour they had until the focus next moved.
  • The cd directory-completion hint takes its colour from the theme —
    built-in or defined in the config file — instead of the system label
    colour, which drew the alternatives almost black on a dark theme while
    macOS itself was in Light mode. A theme change recolours a hint already
    showing, and Increase Contrast strengthens it.
  • The user guide and configuration reference no longer promise a directory
    switcher: directory history is recorded and can be cleared in Settings,
    but nothing in the app lists it yet. Troubleshooting entries that had
    drifted below "Going back to your old terminal" are back under their
    topics, and release-specific notes read as current behaviour.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full history.
