Changelog

  • (Breaking) A new mouse option is added to enable mouse events. This option is disabled by default to leave mouse events to the terminal. Also unbind mouse events when mouse is enabled should now show unknown mapping error in the message line.
  • (Fix) Newline characters in the output of % commands should no longer shift the content up which was a bug introduced in the previous release due to a fix to handle combining characters in texts.
  • (Fix) Redundant preview loadings for search and find commands are now avoided (by @neeshy).
  • (Fix) Scanner now only considers ascii characters for spaces and digits which should avoid unexpected splits in some non-ascii inputs.

Changelog

  • Changes have been made to enable the use of true image previews (by @Naheel-Azawy, @Provessor, and @neeshy). See the documentation and the previews wiki page for more information.
    • (Breaking) Non-zero exit codes should now make the preview volative to avoid caching. Programs that may not behave well to SIGPIPE may trigger this behavior unintentionally. You may trap SIGPIPE in your preview script to get the old behavior.
    • (Breaking) Preview scripts should now get arguments as the current file path, width, height, horizontal position, and vertical position. Note that height is still passed as an argument but its order is changed.
    • (New) A new cleaner option is added to set the path to a file to run when the preview is changed.
    • (Fix) Redundant preview loadings for movement commands are now avoided.
  • (Breaking) Expansion %w in promptfmt is changed back to its old behavior without a trailing separator (by @SPFabGerman). Instead, a new expansion %d is added with a trailing separator. Expansion %w is meant to be used to display the current working directory, whereas %d%f is meant to be used to display the current file.
  • (Breaking) A new LF_COLORS environment variable is now checked to be able to make lf specific configurations. Also, environment variables for colors are now read cumulatively starting from the default behavior (i.e. default, LSCOLORS, LS_COLORS, LF_COLORS).
  • (New) Full path, dir name, file name, and base name matching patterns are added to colors and icons (by @SPFabGerman and @mohkale). See the updated documentation for more information.
  • (New) Powershell keybinding example has been added to etc/lfcd.ps1 (by @sitiom).
  • (New) Powershell autocompletion script has been added as etc/lf.ps1 (by @sitiom).
  • (New) Multiple -command flags can now be given (by @kmarius).
  • (New) Basic mouse support has been added. Mouse buttons (e.g. <m-1> for primary button, <m-2> for secondary button, <m-3> for middle button etc.) and mouse wheels (e.g. <m-up> for wheel up, <m-down> for wheel down etc.) can be used in bindings.
  • (New) Commands top and bottom are now allowed in cmap mappings in addition to movement commands.
  • (Fix) Extension sorting should now handle extensions with different lenghts properly (by @kmarius).
  • (Fix) Heuristic used to show info should now take into account number and icons options properly.
  • (Fix) Environment variable id is now set to process id instead to avoid two clients getting the same id when launched at the same time (by @edganiukov).
  • (Fix) Unicode combining characters in texts should now be displayed properly.

Changelog

  • (Breaking) Options ignorecase and ignoredia should now also apply to sorting in addition to searching.
  • (Breaking) Option ignoredia is now enabled by default to be consistent with ignorecase.
  • (Breaking) Terminal UI library tcell has been updated to version 2 (by @Provessor). This version highlights adding 24-bit true colors on Windows and better support for colors on Unix. Variable TCELL_TRUECOLOR is not required anymore so that terminal themes and true colors can be used at the same time.
  • (Breaking) Deprecated option color256 is now removed.
  • (New) Two new command line commands cmd-menu-complete and cmd-menu-complete-back are added for completion menu cycling (by @tarasyarema).

  • (New) Bash completion script etc/lf.bash is now added to the repository.
  • (New) Time formats in info option should now show year instead of hh:mm for times older than the current year.
  • (Fix) Signals SIGHUP, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM should now quit the program properly.
  • (Fix) Setting info to an empty value should not print errors to the log file anymore.
  • (Fix) Natural sorting is optimized to work faster using less memory.
  • (Fix) Files and directories that incorrectly show modification times in the future (e.g. Linux builtin exFAT driver) should not cause cpu hogging anymore.
  • (Fix) Keybinding example in etc/lfcd.fish is now updated to avoid hanging in shell commands (by @crivaronicolini).
  • (Fix) Using bottom command immediately after startup should not crash the program anymore.
  • (Fix) Changing sorting options during sorting operations should not crash the program anymore.
  • (Fix) Output in piping shell commands now uses lazy redrawing so that verbose commands should not block the program anymore.
  • (Fix) Server is now daemonized properly on Unix so that it is not killed anymore when the controlling terminal is killed (by @neeshy).

Changelog

  • Terminal UI library has been changed from termbox-go to tcell as the former has been unmaintained for a while (by @Provessor). Some of the changes are listed below, though the list may not be complete as this is a relatively big change.
    • (Breaking) Some special key names are changed to be consistent with tcell documentation (e.g. <bs> renamed to <backspace>). On the other hand, there are also additional keybindings that were not available before (e.g. <backtab> for Shift+Tab). You can either check tcell documentation for the list of keys or hit the key combination in lf to read the name of the key from the unknown mapping error message.
    • (New) 24-bit true colors are now supported on unix systems. See the updated documentation for more information. There is an ongoing version 2.0 development in tcell that we plan to switch once it becomes stable and it is expected to add support for true colors in Windows console as well.
    • (New) Additional platforms are now supported and the list of pre-built binaries provided are updated accordingly.
    • (Fix) Wide characters are now displayed properly in Windows console.
  • (New) Descriptions of commands and options are now added to the documentation. Undocumented behaviors should now be considered documentation bugs and they can be reported.
  • (New) Keys are now evaluated with a lazy drawing approach so push commands to set the prompt and pasting something to the command line should feel instantaneous.
  • (Fix) Corrupted history files should no longer crash the program.
  • (Fix) Server now only listens connections from localhost on Windows so firewall permission is not required anymore (by @spapas).
  • (Fix) Push commands that change the operation mode should now work consistently as expected.
  • (Fix) Loading directories should now display the previous file list if any, which was a regression due to a bug fix in a previous release.
  • (Fix) Piping shell commands should now automatically update previews when necessary.
  • (Fix) Errors from failed shell commands should not be overwritten by file information anymore.
  • (Fix) Server can now also be started automatically when the program is called with a relative path, which was a regression due to a bug fix in a previous release (by @Provessor).
  • (Fix) Environment variables are now exported automatically for preview scripts without having to call a shell command first (by @gotroyb127).
  • (Fix) Escape key can now be bind to a key for when it is used on it own and not to escape a keybind combination, which was a regression due to a bug fix in a previous release (by @YerinAlexey).
  • (Fix) Changing option hiddenfiles should now automatically trigger directory updates when necessary.

Changelog

  • (Breaking) Command toggle does not move the selection down anymore. Default binding for <space> is now assigned to :toggle; down instead to keep the default behavior same as before.
  • (Breaking) Expansion %w in option promptfmt should now have a trailing slash. Default value of promptfmt is now changed accordingly. The default value should not display double slashes in the root directory anymore.
