Fixes CMD+K, faster on Windows, fewer bugs 😻

Patches

• Re-implement clear, make it not buggy, fix CMD+K: #1796
• Modify config watch interval to 2s. Improves CPU usage on Windows! (#1772): #1699
• Open Hyper config in the native desktop's default manner: #1784
• Round up float values for hamburger menu positioning. Fixes #1462: #1753
• Simplify and correct newlines replacement logic on Windows: #1713
• Handle electron default env to avoid leaking the google API key to user's envs: #1764
• Check for null/undefined session in addSessionData: #1698

Important note: previously, we had our own implementation of ⌘+K. Now, we instead pass CTRL+L to the terminal when you press it. If you have vi mode enabled, you'll need something like this in your ~/.inputrc to make sure this works while in insert mode (the default):

set editing-mode vi
$if mode=vi

set keymap vi-command
# these are for vi-command mode
Control-l: clear-screen

set keymap vi-insert
# these are for vi-insert mode
Control-l: clear-screen 
$endif

20% faster bootup + bug fixes + better plugin DX

We improved bootup time by making the JS bundle 20% faster (parse and evaluation time).

We also fixed a race condition seen if you had special characters in the first data packet coming from the terminal (e.g.: the prompt), which could sometimes be rendered as follows:

Perf improvements and URL, emojis, + bug fixes 😱

• Fix lingering text selection upon paste (#819, PR #1218) [@ppot]
• Fix matching of URLs (#1253, #1210, #1042 , #910, #594, #97, PR #1216, PR #1259) [@KevinRamsunder, @ppot]

Also note-worthy: URL support will probably move into a core plugin in the near future_.

We'll be introducing, highlighting and documenting a series of core-maintained plugins that you'll be able to include as @hyper/plugin inside your config 🎉

Hyper 1.0.0 is here!

Windows support and improved Linux support

We are very excited to announce that we now support Windows – and we're also shipping a first-class Linux version:

- We moved from [`child_pty`](https://github.com/Gottox/child_pty) to [`pty.js`](https://github.com/Tyriar/pty.js) – they're both great libraries to interact with a pseudo terminal, but just the latter supports Windows – https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/946/commits/33844425a9fb094cbcd64a596d813ace96c68d40 – [Thanks @Tyriar] - We rewrote the UI for the tabs in order for them to work with Electron's constraints on Windows and Linux – https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/946/commits/f8a8da645fecc2f7c7e33587bc4b14f267cf9842 – [@CodeTheory] - We added a _hamburguer menu_ so the application menu can be easily accessed – [@CodeTheory + @evilrabbit]

Check #946 and #1058 for more info

Improved internationalization and foreign keyboards support

We are shipping a fix for a very common issue: if you're using a foreign keyboard, such as Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish etc, you weren't able to type some characters like á, ä, ~ and so on. That's not the case anymore!

- We inject a `hyper-caret` div with `contenteditable="true"` inside the `hterm`'s cursor. With that, we're able to listen for the [composition events](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/compositionstart) – with them, we can _morph_ the cursor to show some visual feedback when you are typing a composed character – https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/1006

Unicode and emojis

This version comes with an initial fix for issues with special Unicode characters – and Emojis 😍. Thanks to our amazing contributors, you will now see the following instead of a bunch of �s:

- We patched `hterm` to make it handle strings with _special_ Unicode characters correctly – some emojis are composed of multiple characters, so we need to be careful when splitting a string to render it https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/1018 – [@dotcypress] - We also patched the way `hterm` render special Unicode chars – we now wrap each one with a `` instead of wrapping the entire line – https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/740 – [@BenoitAverty]

Customize the look of the active session

Now you can customize the look of the active session via the .term_active CSS class:

• The active <Term /> will receive an active CSS class. Therefore, after the rendering, the .term_active CSS class will be available. You can use it (and the absence of it) to customize any CSS property for the active split pane – #905 – [@weslleyaraujo]
• Check hyper-simple-highlight-active-session for an example of how to use it.

Vibrancy

We are shipping a new Electron version that supports vibrancy on macOS:

• You can choose from a list of available vibrancy types. Make sure to check hyper-simple-vibrancy for an example of how to do it – you will need to set a background color with some level of transparency to get a proper vibrancy effect

Further improved developer experience

We have improved the development workflow – we hope that we made easier for you to contribute:

• Instead of using a unified start task with concurrently, we now have separate dev and start tasks. This means that Hyper will not fail to boot anymore because Webpack is still working – ed76f4e
• We introduced a lint task, so you can run only the linter to check if your code style match ours – 332d303

Special thanks

We'd like to thank these 22 contributors for their amazing work on Hyper – they made this release possible!

❤️ @BenoitAverty @breber @chabou @CodeTheory @davegomez @dfrankland @dotcypress @evilrabbit @flyngate @iamstarkov @mike-engel @oliverdunk @parro-it @ppot @Specro @stefanivic @timneutkens @Tyriar @vors @weslleyaraujo @zbuttram ❤️

Hyper early, hyper often!

Quick release to fix ugly error dialog when performing some filesystem operations. Shoutout to @shama creator of gaze, our file-watching dep, for his help debugging.
