Full Changelog: v0.58.1...v0.59.0

This is a hotfix release that fixes the known issues with 0.58.

To expand on this a bit: in 0.58 we updated our TUI library tcell to a new version that made significant under-the-hood changes; this allowed us to fix several rendering issues, mostly related to wide characters like some emojis. Apart from that, there are few user visible changes with this update, but it lays the ground for future enhancements like support for more keybindings.

However, since the changes are so fundamental it also introduced a number of regressions, and I'm not really surprised about that. Most of these were bugs in tcell that have been fixed upstream now, but some were on our side. This release fixes the ones I know about. If you still have issues, please report them!

Breaking Changes

The 'redo' command, which used to be bound to ctrl-z, is now bound to shift-Z instead. This is because ctrl-z is now used for suspending the application; it is a commonly known keybinding for that in the Linux world. If you want to revert this change, you can do so by adding the following to your config:
keybinding:
universal:
suspendApp:
redo:
The git.paging.useConfig option has been removed. If you were relying on it to configure your pager, you'll have to explicitly set the pager again using the git.paging.pager option.
