Pre-Release Version Release Notes

Preview Features

Make the file path of window tags absolute by default. This makes selecting part of a window's path and acquiring it more intuitive
Column-relative window paths. This feature is indended to reduce the visual complexity of the interface when there are many windows open with long paths. An absolute directory may be entered in the leftmost section of a column and followed by a space. Then the file paths of windows in that column are considered relative to that column path, allowing the user to use relative paths for them to reduce the length of text in their tag. When tags are dragged between columns the paths are adjusted to be absolute---if the new column has no path---or relative to the new column path otherwise. See this video for a demonstration.
When the Alt key is held while executing a command using either middle-click, CTRL-T, or CTRL-Enter then the +Errors window is cleared before the command output is printed to it.
Now when a window with unsaved changes is deleted using Del, instead of printing a warning to the +Errors window, the Del in the tag is instead changed to Del!.

New Changes in v20250115202711_pre

New Changes in v20250122102323_pre

awatch: The awatch command now allows the user to edit the command in the +watch window, or add new commands to be run on file changes. Any lines beginning with % followed by a space will have the % and space stripped off and will be executed as a command.

Defects Fixed

Fixed crash in rune cache
Fix event handling when app unfocused then focused

This commit fixes an issue where if Anvil was unfocused then focused again by left-clicking, it would make a selection from the previous location of the cursor to where the new click occurred.

The issue is that Windows when Anvil is refocussed, multiple events are delivered at once to Anvil, and one of these is a zero-distance drag event. Zero distance drags are normally ignored, but because all events occur quickly they are all delivered to Anvil as a queue at once, and in the blockeditable code it would loop over each event and process them, but then later perform the draw. However the mouse event processing is actually performed during the draw as a deferred event because we need to have layed out the text to be able to tell what character the mouse click occurs on. By deferring the events only the last was processed, and so
When the text in a tag is changed programatically the cursors and selections are preserved. This change fixes the behaviour of the awin command, where when it repeatedly updates the window while the user is typing in the tag the cursor keeps getting moved to the beginning of the tag.
Swap middle and right button actions on win layout box. Now right mouse maximizes the window, and middle mouse minimizes other windows, like how Acme behaves.
Fix an issue where if the text in a column tag wraps, and you click in the second or later line of the tag, the cursor is moved to a place farther right than where the click occurred
Fix a crash in range statements, specifically with the - operation.

New Fixes in v20250115202711_pre

Fix an issue where when you scroll up using the mousewheel or scrollbar in a window, the first line of the body might not be displayed
When Get is performed in a Tag, don't move the cursor to the beginning of the tag
Make Acq support line/col numbers suffix on filenames
Range statements: handle multi-byte runes in c,i,a commands properly. Multi-byte runes in the c, i and a statements were counted as multiple runes. If a statement resulted in multiple ranges being changed, later changes were performed later and later in the document than where they should have been performed.
Allow styling +Errors window text colors
Use proper os path separator in About

New Fixes in v20250122102323_pre
