runa v0.15.1

Fix to tabs at startup.

Fixed

Tabs: Startup now loads the shown tab correctly.

Internal

Dependencies: Cargo update.

runa v0.15.0

Organization migration, crate rename, performance improvements and internal cleanup.

[BREAKING CHANGES]

• runa has moved to the runa-fm/runa GitHub organization. This includes the:

  • Main repository
  • Packaging
  • Homebrew tap
  • Scoop bucket
  • Configuration

• crates.io: The crate is now published under the new name runa-fm, replacing runa-tui.
  Note: runa remains a TUI file manager, this change is solely for naming consistency.

• Migration Notice: Users who previously added the Scoop bucket or the Homebrew tap should update their tap/bucket references to the new locations.

  • Homebrew:

  brew uninstall runa
  brew untap alexm-dev/tap
  brew tap runa-fm/tap
  brew install runa

  • Scoop:

  scoop uninstall runa
  scoop bucket rm alexm-dev
  scoop bucket add runa-fm https://github.com/runa-fm/scoop-bucket
  scoop install runa

  • Crates

  cargo uninstall runa-tui
  cargo install runa-fm

Internal

• Frame: Compute frame layouts before drawing to the UI resulting in performance improvements.
• FileOp: Pass FileOp counts to the UI instead of reading directly from the workers.
• Runtime: root.rs and terminal.rs are now part of the runtime module. root.rs now only holds the RunaRoot struct.
• Core: Moved command.rs into the core module.
• App:
  • Separated AppContainer from root.rs and moved it to its own app/container.rs module.
  • Moved overlays.rs into the app module.

runa v0.14.2

Directory cache and clipboard fixes, internal cleanup.

Fixed

• Navigation: Revisiting a directory no longer shows an outdated listing after its content changed.
• Clipboard: Unmarking the lest copied entry now correctly clears the clipboard, so a paste no longer runs an empty copy.

Changed

• Performance: Markers and clipboard entries are now borrowed instead of copied per frame.

Internal

• Workers:
  • Each worker has its own task type instead of a shared WorkerTask enum. Task types live in workers/task.rs.
  • Directory loads now carry a DirRequest, which routes their response back to the pane that requested it.
• App:
  • RunaRoot, AppContainer and Clipboard live in their own modules, and all the AppState handlers live under app/state/.
  • Fields of AppState, TabManager, RunaRoot and Clipboard are all private.
• Coding Style: Named types for huge nested std types, one import per std module, no inline full paths unless needed.
• CI: Release runs only start when the repo owner triggers them.
• Dependencies: cargo update.

runa v0.14.1

Navigation, preview and config watcher fixes.

Fixed

• Navigation:
  • Fast moves into or out of directories no longer leave previous or stale entries on screen.
  • Moving through a directory whose files keep changing (like build outputs) no longer jumps back or skips entries.
• Preview: Errors from other panes no longer replace the preview.
• Config:
  • Without a config folder, runa no longer watches the parent directory recursively.
  • Only the actual runa.toml inside the config directory triggers a reload.

Internal

• Workers: Busy worker keeps newest request instead of dropping it. Errors on directory loads are routed by request and path.

Tip

The previous version, 0.14.0, added a lot of new features.
Read through its changelog to get up to speed,
and see the editor doc and commands doc to set them up.

runa v0.14.0

Archive preview, custom commands, directory scrolling and more.

Added

• Preview:
  • Directory previews are now scrollable.
  • Archives can preview their contents as a tree. Off by default, set it up in [display.preview_options.archive].
  • Color the tree lines and mark archive content with [theme.archive]
• Commands: Bind your own commands to keys with [commands] (example: lazygit = { keys = "<m-g>", cmd = "lazygit" })
• Editor:
  • Map multi-part extensions to their own command (example: "tar.gz" = ["tar", "-xf"]). The longest match wins, so .tar.gz and .gz can open differently.
  • Put the file anywhere in a command with {path}, {name}, {dir}, {stem} and {unused_stem} (example: zip = ["7z", "x", "{path}", "-o{stem}"] extracts photos.zip into photos).
  • {unused_stem} works like {stem} but picks photos_1 when photos already exists, so nothing gets overwritten.
  • Run tools like 7z, tar and more without leaving runa (example: pdf = { cmd = ["zathura"], terminal = false }). Failures show as a message.
  • Open files with the default app of your system (example: system = ["pdf", "png", "html"]). Works the same on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Fixed

• UI: Last line of a file preview is now correctly drawn while in split border mode.
• Config: Full runa.toml writes the actual internal defaults again.
• Docs: Config reference matches the internal defaults and lists all key names.

Changed

• Editor: Editor commands always get the absolute path of the file.

Internal

• Preview: Directory previews only build their visible rows.
• Editor: Editor config module moved to config/editor.rs and the command arguments to command.rs.
• Core: File previews moved to core/preview.rs and metadata formatting to core/metadata.rs.
• Workers: Added the runner worker thread which starts editor commands in the background.
• CI: Documentation deployment now runs after the release workflow.
• Clean-up: Removed redundant tests and made module-local functions private.

Note

There is no 0.13.0, this release follows 0.12.3.

runa v0.12.3

Smooth preview scrolling, preview fixes and better version output.

Added

• CLI: Version output now includes the git commit hash and date when built from a git checkout.
  • Combine -V or --version with -v/--verbose (example: -vV) to also show the rustc version, target and build profile.

Fixed

• Preview:
  • File preview no longer stays a few lines behind when scrolling.
  • Scrolling to the end of a file no longer makes the preview bounce back and forth.
  • File previews can now scroll past line 65,535.

Changed

• Preview: Scrolling a file preview is now smooth and no longer jumps several lines at once.
• CLI: -V is now the flag for --version. -v alone no longer prints the version, as it is now the --verbose modifier.

Internal

• Build: Added a build.rs to generate the version output with the git commit, rustc version and the target.
• CI: Pushing a release tag now runs the full release automatically:
  • First the CI, then the documentation, then the release, for the tag that was pushed.
  • Release now publishes the binaries built and tested by the CI run, instead of building them a second time.
  • Added manual dry runs that build and package the release without publishing.

runa v0.12.2

Performance improvements and fixes.

Fixed

• File Info: File info now always matches the selected entry after very fast navigation.
• Input: Moving the input cursor over non-ASCII characters no longer crashes.
• Sort: The sort help widget now closes after its timeout, similar to the go to helper.
• Documentation: Fixed the Scoop install command in the configuration docs and in the README.

Changed

• Dependencies:
  • Removed home crate to instead use the std::env::home_dir function.
  • Updated dependencies.
• README: runa is now marked for stable use.
• CONTRIBUTING: Feature requests are now linked to GitHub Discussions.

Internal

• Performance: Entry names are now stored in a single allocation, improving efficiency.
• Keymap: Simplified prefix key handling and renamed the internal g prefix to go_to.
• Workers: Moved worker thread implementations to sub-modules of core::workers.
• Config:
  • Default theme style getters are now generated by a single builtin_styles! macro.
  • Show info options are deserialized directly, with named default formats.
  • Dialog size and position enums moved from the UI module to the config module, which also resolves their defaults.
• Constants:
  • Tab limit, overlay message durations, default date formats and event_loop poll interval are now constants.
  • Throttle times, delays and message durations are grouped in Timings.
• App: Clean-up of event_loop and added active AppState accessors.
• CI: cross version now set in one place.

runa v0.12.1

Stability fixes, plus a benchmarking suite.

Fixed

• Preview: Throttled preview requests are now not dropped. Fixes the delaying of preview requests.
• Idling: Fixed constant redrawing after actions like clearing markers while the preview was already loaded.
• File Entries: Fixed a crash on file names containing certain Unicode characters whose lowercase form has a different length.
• Tabs: Fixed a crash when opening a new tab while the current directory could not be openend.

Changed

• Move file: The "not a directory" error now shows the target path.
• Dependencies: Updated dependencies.

Internal

• Benchmarks: Added a benchmarking suite for time, report and disk.
  • report counts allocations and memory per operation
  • disk uses a temporary sandbox directory to bench directory loads and previews on 10k entries.
  • time benches entry creation, sorting, filtering, the directory cache and previews.
• Library crate: Moved the code into a library target so the benchmarks can link against it. rn is now a wrapper around it.
• CI: Scheduled maintenance checks now run weekly instead of daily.

runa v0.12.0

Stability improvements and pane synchronization.

Added

• Watcher Thread: Added a dedicated filesystem watcher thread to keep the panes in sync with filesystem changes.
• UI Reloading: Added a manual UI reload keybind (default <c-r>).

Fixed

• Preview Paths: Fixed an issue where the preview could unreliably or wrongly load the path during preview changes.

Changed

• Config Watcher: The runa.toml config watcher is now tied to the new watcher thread instead.
• Message Widget: Notification message text is now center aligned by default.
• Cargo Update: Updated runas dependencies

runa v0.11.3

Fixes to file actions and tabs

Fixed

• Stale panes: Fixed an issue where file actions (such as move_file) would not correctly update the preview or parent pane.
• Tab switch:
  • Fixed a race condition where switching tabs would not initialize the startup tabs, causing them to be empty.
  • Fixed an issue where the status line information section could sometimes fail to render during tab switches.

Changed

• Cargo update: Updated dependencies

Internal

• handle_move: Renamed to move_file and moved to handlers/file_actions.
