v0.20.1

Changes & fixes

• xplr shell will default to $SHELL, using bash as a fallback. oh-my-zsh users please add TRAPEXIT() { echoti rmkx; } in your .zshrc (see #499 for more info).
• (experiment) xplr will now display full-screen help menu in intermediate modes. Set xplr.config.modes.builtin[mode].layout = nil to disable. e.g. xplr.config.modes.builtin.create.layout = nil
• Added new utility functions to work with json and yaml data.
  • xplr.util.from_json()
  • xplr.util.to_json()
  • xplr.util.from_yaml()
  • xplr.util.to_yaml()
• Added new utility function xplr.util.version() to get the currently running binary version (semantic versioning fields).
• Fixed displaying multispace characters (Japanese, Chinese...), thanks to @Elvyria for contributing to tui-input.
• Fixed a bug causing the creation of a new directory named .\n when creating new files containing space in the name.
• Minor UI updates.

v0.20.0

Changes & fixes

• BREAKING: xplr shell (:!) will default to null (\0) delimited pipes, as
  opposed to newline (\n) delimited ones (i.e. will use Call0 instead of
  Call).
• Use new messages for safer file path handling (\0 delimited):
  • Call0
  • CallSilently0
  • BashExec0
  • BashExecSilently0
• Use new sub-commands for safer message passing:
  • -m FORMAT [ARGUMENT]... / --pipe-msg-in FORMAT [ARGUMENT]...
  • -M FORMAT [ARGUMENT]... / --print-msg-in FORMAT [ARGUMENT]...
    Where FORMAT is a YAML string that may contain %s, %q and %%
    placeholders and ARGUMENT is the value per placeholder. See init.lua.
• Following hooks can be defined in the config files using an optional
  return { on_* = { list, of, messages }, ... } statement at the end.
  • on_load
  • on_focus_change
  • on_directory_change
• Use --vroot to isolate navigation of an xplr session inside a specific
  directory. Interaction still requires passing full path, and shell,
  lua functions etc still can access paths outside vroot.
• Use the following messages to switch vroot at runtime, or the use key
  bindings available in the new builtin mode "vroot" (mapped to : v).
  • SetVroot
  • UnsetVroot
  • ToggleVroot
  • ResetVroot
• Use $XPLR_INITIAL_PWD and Lua equivalent to implement workspace like
  features without using virtual root. Use keys gi to go to the initial
  working directory from anywhere.
• Use the convenient xplr.util utility functions in your Lua function calls.
  See xplr.util API docs.
• Improved CLI errors.
• Finished documentation (finally).
• UI updates to handle newlines in path.

Thanks to @jmcantrell for reporting and help implement fix for the critical newline-in-pathname bug.

v0.20.0-beta.3

This pre-release is for testing the "vroot" mode key bindings available via :v* keys, and the new messages ToggleVroot and UnsetVroot.

v0.20.0-beta.2

This pre-release is for testing the new vroot feature with --vroot, SetVroot, ResetVroot, and the on_* hooks defined as return { on_* = [ list, of, messages ]}

v0.20.0-beta.1

This pre-release is for testing the new return { on_load = { list, of, messages } } hook definition in config files, and also for trying the improved -m/-M API.

v0.20.0-beta.0

This pre-release is for testing the new messages Call*0, BashExec*0 and the CLI arguments xplr -m / --pipe-msg-in, xplr -M --print-msg-in.

v0.19.4

Changes & fixes

• The builtin search will now default to skim-v2 based fuzzy matching.
• esc while in search mode will recover the initial focus (i.e. cancel the search).
• The following messages will be available for search based operations:
  • SearchFuzzy
  • SearchFuzzyFromInput
  • AcceptSearch
  • CancelSearch
• Quick scrolling operations are supported using the following messages and keys:
  • ScrollUp page-up
  • ScrollDown page-down
  • ScrollUpHalf {
  • ScrollDownHalf }

Note: People who prefer the old regex based search, can use the regex-search.xplr plugin.

v0.19.3

Changes & fixes

Bug fixes for passing filters using the --on-load argument.

v0.19.2

Changes & fixes

Fixed support for the following keys in input mode:

• ctrl-h
• ctrl-b
• ctrl-f
• home
• end
• ctrl-k

v0.19.1

Changes & fixes

• You can now access uid and gid of the file owners in the Lua API. See column-renderer and node docs.
• The input buffer will support more readline-like keys. Also, added "DeleteTillEnd" as another cursor based "InputOperation" option. See tui-input v0.5.0 release.
• Fixed applying regex based filters via the CLI and $XPLR_PIPE_MSG_IN pipe. See issue #503.
• You can use the prompt field to define input prompt for each mode, instead of using the SetInputPrompt message. See init.lua changes.
