Edit: Due to a significant bug on the Windows version, please use version 2.0.6-dev.3 (attached below as 2.0.5 to avoid causing errors for automated installers) instead of 2.0.5 (for Windows only). Sorry for any inconvenience.

Changelog:

  • Any settings with default values in settings.json will be removed after
    modifying your settings or running micro -clean.

• New parsecursor option for file:line:col syntax (default off).
  • Enable for previous behavior to open a file at a location.
• More consistent key labels to reduce confusion about keybindings.
• Autocompletion is more conservative and only triggers for alphanumerics.
• Performance improvements.
• More languages supported by the default comment plugin.
  • Use Alt-/ or Ctrl-/ (new) to comment/uncomment a block of code.
  • Note that micro sees Ctrl-/ as the CtrlUnderscore event from the terminal.
• Bug fixes.
  • Mouse support in command bar.
  • Escape sequence handling.
  • Other minor issues and improvements.

Note for package maintainers: build paths were changed in this version to conform with the go.mod specification for projects with a semantic version >=2.0.0 (see #1638). If you are building micro, it is highly recommended that you use the provided makefile, or update your build scripts to build with the new v2 path for build tags.

2.0.3

Micro 2.0.3

This is a relatively minor update. For the next large update (2.1.0) I hope to provide improvements to the keybinding system and a (light and optional) Vim keybinding plugin.

v2.0.3 changelog:

• Micro will output to pipes if it is on the left side of a pipe
  • Running micro | cat will open micro and pipe the result (when the buffer is closed) to cat. Since micro can also read from pipes, this means you can make a pipe chain interactive by placing micro in it.
• New +LINE:COL flag for opening a file at a location (file.txt:LINE:COL syntax still supported)
• Minor bug fixes
• Syntax file improvements
  • Csharp-script (new)
  • Sagemath (new)
  • Julia
  • Python 3
• Linter improvements
  • Haskell
