  39. back-word-delete. See man page for explanation.
  40. - #88, use previous value as default for gotoline, gotocolumn,
  41. zap-/jump-to-char, and delete-between
  42. - #91, added kill-ring
  43. - New switch buffer command option
  44. - this allows you to specific a custom command to run when
  45. switching buffers. For example, if you want to be able to
  46. perform fuzzy searching to select your buffer you can put
  47. fzf(1) or pick(1) as the command. More information in the
  48. page in the commands section on switch buffer command flag.
  49. - "C-x p" for previous-buffer, similar to next-buffer.

  58. - improved tab completion across the board:
  59. - buffer tabbing now loops back to the start

  62. the directory
  63. - update line number when isearching
  64. - update other windows' modelines if buffer name was updated
  65. Bugs:
  66. - #87, crash when terminal is resized and ait is suspended
  67. - #65, fixed first line disappears again...
  68. - #90, fixed universal argument not clearing

  72. - fixed bug with isearch that caused duplciate query chars to not
  73. get highlighted
  74. - fixed long time bug where if the newlines between matching
  75. brackets is greater than the difference between the previous
  76. point's row and the total window row
  77. ========== Version 1.8 <2024-01-02> ==========
  78. New Features:
  79. - #74, last char of a wrapped line is highlighted yellow
  80. - added poptomark after using jumptochar, negated jumptochar,
  81. jumptorow, and jumpword
  82. - before the point is moved it sets the buffer's pmark
  83. - most commands that jump you to new points now set the pmark
  84. - made previous mark (pmark) an array so you can jump to previous
  85. marks
  86. - replaced removewhitespacebetween with remove-between
  87. - Works like removewhitespace when you're on whitespace or on the
  88. edge of a word.
  89. - will delete the word that you're on if you're in the middle of it
  90. - C-u M-\ will ask for a bracket, this will delete the contents
  91. inside the bracket. It will jump to it first. Don't use this on
  92. single, double, or backquote unless you're inside them.
  93. - added a gotocolumn command
  94. - added comment command
  95. - added comment at end of line command
  96. - `-b backup_dir` option to set the backup dir.
  97. - this removes the original BACKUPDIR variable in the header.h
  98. Enhancements:
  99. - #77, #80 Fully support combined unicode/UTF-8 characters.
  100. - #76, will now display the path until there is a difference
  101. if two buffers have the same name. This will poop up and
  102. give up at 20 paths which I hope never happens to anyone.
  103. - Better syntax highlighting
  104. - can use more than 2 chars for comment indicators (such as <!--)
  105. - check LANG environment variable to determine if to show the unicode
  106. for the tab character

  111. empty
  112. - #82, fixed issues with horizontal split
  113. - fixed bug with insert-file causing revert-buffer to run
  114. - fixed bug where tabbing on a line wrap crashes the editor
  115. - fixed another bug with horizontal split not reframing when needed
  116. - fixed long-time bug where you can't open backup files using find-file
  117. - fixed % not showing in the msgline when searching or doing anything
  118. - fixed cutoff bug in minibuffer
  119. - fixed undo for buffer revert and C-o
  120. - fixed crash when msgline is longer than there are columns
  121. ========== Version 1.7 <2024-02-29> ==========
  122. New Features:
  123. - #68 Allow the inputting of control characters (C-q)
  124. - Added `esc j jumpline` command
  125. - quickly jump to a line on the current page (similar to avy)
  126. - Added `esc k jumpword` command
  127. - quickly jump to a "word" starting with the input char
  128. - #72 Added support to change the tabbing size and space-based tab
  129. size
  130. Enhancements:
  131. - #75 Fixed not being able to tab-complete files with spaces in the
  132. names.
  133. - this also allows you open files with spaces in the names now
  134. - Use PREFIX in makefile
  135. - Prevent render of things that don't need rendered
  136. - This helps on slower terminal emulators or slow SSH connections
  137. - new window max column property
  138. - only updates the information in the modeline, not the entire
  139. thing
  140. - Use a tempfile for creating backup file
  141. - this makes ait a little more portable by allowing the creation
  142. of backup files on systems that limit ait in open a single file
  143. at a time. This was happening on my very old Raspberry Pi.
  144. - When jumping from quotes, if there is an escaped quote inside it
  145. will now jump over it.
  146. Bugs:
  147. - #69 Fix clipboard pasting bug
  148. - #51 Fix inefficiency with the block comment syntax detector
  149. - this is actually still inefficient but the new rendering stuff
  150. prevents it from being visible
  151. - "not bound" error when performing keyboard macro
  152. - C-m and other crashes on blank buffers
  153. - Added note about backups not saving due to '~'
  154. - #63 duplicate modelines on NetBSD
  155. - fixed by comparing the leftover lines/columns and adjusting the
  156. buffers so
  157. - Fixed pasting not reframing sometimes
  158. - Fixed persistent column breaking when on non-left aligned windows
  159. - Fixed pasting reframing too early (causing the screen to jump
  160. - Fixed being able to use numeric arguments on some keybinds
  161. - C-z, C-s, and many others
  162. - Fixed backup files not working on armv6 RPI
  163. ========== Version 1.6 <2023-12-15> ==========
