0.10.2

Changes

Breaking

• pumblend and winblend are respected now, see the FAQ for help on setting them. By default there's no transparency anymore due to the defaults of those being fully opaque. Added in #1199
• (Linux) X11 and RPC clipboard mechanisms had another round of fixes again. If an older instance of Neovide has been attached to a NeoVim session and a new instance with this version connects, there be flames. Fix is to restart the NeoVim session. Added in #1540
• Parsing of environment variables is so strict that it only accepts the value true as true now. This was not intended and will be fixed in the next release (NOT 0.13).

Bug fixes

• Allow <C-S-...> combinations, but only for alphabetic keys
• Fix some smooth scrolling glitches (unfortunately implies sometimes missed line draws)
• Cursor now immediately switches to outline only when unfocusing, without delay
• Fix unwanted resizing at startup when the window is remembered to be maximized
• Respect <C-m> as equivalent to <CR>
• \r is also interpreted as <CR>
• Resizes imply a redraw now
• Correctly remember the last window size + position again

Other

• There's a Windows MSI below now!
• VSync is configurable through a CLI switch now
• The new g:neovide_scale_factor allows control of the overall... scale factor
• Font edging and hinting are configurable now

Changes

  • No more random freeze at startup
  • Probably smaller things that went indirectly in through bumping dependencies

Too many things to count since last release 2 years ago.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of some highlights.

• Smooth scrolling and animated windows
• Swapped to winit
• Swapped to opengl away from vulkan for compatibility
• Better keyboard modifier handling
• Transparent floating windows
• Configuration/settings improvements
• many many more

Thanks so much to the many contributors who pitched in features and bug fixes <3

Moving forward, I hope we can make faster smaller releases.

This release introduces smooth scrolling when the multigrid is enabled. Also includes a number of bug fixes and refactorings.

improved font management, keyboard tweeks, and misc bug fixes

• Swapped back to upstream skulpin
• Some mixed results keyboard handling fixes (still not perfect)
• Bunch of unit testing (thanks @j4qfrost)
• Significant startup speed improvements and font loading improvements (thanks @exoticus)
• Better fullscreen on windows (thanks @R-Michelsen)
