<a name="v1.2.7"></a>
### v1.2.7 - 2021-02-28
- don't ask again for installation if no sourcing file has been found

<a name="v1.2.6"></a>
### v1.2.6 - 2021-02-27
- clipboard features (copy and paste verbs) now work on Android/Termux (needs the Termux API to be installed)
- fix a compilation problem on non gnu windows - Thanks @Stargateur
- obey '--color no' even in standard application mode. In that case, automatically enable selection marks or you wouldn't know what line is selected

<a name="v1.2.5"></a>
### v1.2.5 - 2021-02-25
- fix style characters being written in `--no-style` mode - Fix #346
- replace `--no-style` with `--color` taking `yes`, `no` or `auto`, with detection of output being piped in `auto` mode (default). `--no-style` is still usable but it's not documented anymore - Fix #347
- fix wrong version number written in log file - Fix #349
- by default the number of panels is now limited to 2 (can be changed in conf with `max_panels_count`). The goal is to improve the global ergonomics for the most common (universal?) use case - Fix #345

<a name="v1.2.4"></a>
### v1.2.4 - 2021-02-14
- :line_down_no_cycle and :line_up_nocycle. They may be mapped instead of :line_up and :line_down when you don't want to cycle (ie arrive on top when you go down past the end of the tree/list) - Fix #344
- fix selected line number rendering in text preview

<a name="v1.2.3"></a>
### v1.2.3 - 2021-02-06
- special paths in "no-enter" or "hide" aren't counted when summing sizes or dates. It's a compromise: it makes all sums a little slower, especially if you have a lot of special paths or complex ones, but it allows skipping over the very slow disks and thus makes some cases much faster - Fix #331
- br fish shell function uses shell completion of broot
- tree height in `:pt` now applies even when there are more root items (thus truncating the tree) - Fix #341
- fix the F5 and F6 shortcuts (copy and move between panels) in the default configuration

<a name="v1.2.1"></a>
### v1.2.1 - 2021-01-27
- allow dashes instead of underscores in conf property names. This fixes a regression as "special-paths", "ext-colors" and "search-modes" were defined with a dash up to version 1.0.7. Now both spellings are OK - Fix #330
- fix some problems with paths containing spaces (regression since 1.1.11)- Fix #329

<a name="v1.2.0"></a>
### v1.2.0 - 2021-01-14
- experimental "modal mode" (or "vim mode") in broot. See https://dystroy.org/broot/vim_mode/
- fix mouse staying captured during external app execution - Fix #325

<a name="v1.1.11"></a>
### v1.1.11 - 2021-01-07
- fix handling of rules starting with '/' in the global gitignore - Fix #321
- alt-c now mapped to the new :copy_line verb which, when in tree, puts the selected path in the clipboard and, when in text preview, puts the selected text line in the clipboard - Fix #322
- it's possible to define verb execution patterns as arrays instead of simple strings, to avoid having to escape quotes - Fix #319

<a name="v1.1.10"></a>
### v1.1.10 - 2020-12-24
broot now accepts both TOML and Hjson files for configuration. Default is Hjson. I explain the change [here](https://dystroy.org/blog/hjson-in-broot/)

Column order is now configurable - Fix #127

<a name="v0.18.0"></a>
### v0.18.0 - 2020-06-26

#### Major change: Recursive last modified date computation
The date of directories is now the modification date of the last modified inner file, whatever its depth. This is computed in the background and doesn't slow your navigation.

#### Major change: Sort mode
Size can now be displayed out of sort mode, which concerns either size or dates.

There are new launch arguments:
* `--sort-by-count` : sort by number of files in directories
* `--sort-by-date` : sort by dates, taking content into account (make it easy to find deep recent files)
* `--sort-by-size` : sort by size
* `--whale-spotting` or `-w` : "whale spotting" mode (sort by size and show all files)

The `-s` launch argument now works similarly to -d or -p : it doesn't activate a sort mode but activates showing the sizes. `-s` has been replaced with `-w`.

Similarly new verbs have been defined:
* `:toggle_counts`, with shortcut `counts` shows the number of files in directories
* `:toggle_sizes`, with shortcut `sizes` shows the sizes of files and directories
* `:sort_by_count` has for shortcut `sc`
* `:sort_by_date` has for shortcut `sd`
* `:sort_by_size` has `ss` as shortcut
* `:no_sort` removes the current sort mode, if any

<a name="v0.17.0"></a>
### v0.17.0 - 2020-06-21
#### Major feature: keep broot open behind terminal editors
If you now open vi or emacs from broot with `leave_broot = false` you should
be back in broot after you quit the editor - Fix #34 - Fix #144 - Fix #158
#### Minor changes:
- it's possible to define input edition shortcuts - Fix #235
- MacOS: config directory for new install is ~/.config/broot - Fix #103

<a name="v0.16.0"></a>
### v0.16.0 - 2020-06-20
#### Major feature: composite patterns
It's now possible to use logical operators on patterns.

For example:
* `!/txt$/` : files whose name doesn't end in "txt"
* `carg|c/carg` : files whose name or content has "carg"
* `(json|xml)&c/test` : files containing "test" and whose name fuzzily contains either "json" or "xml"
The document contains other examples and precisions.

<a name="v0.15.1"></a>
### v0.15.1 - 2020-06-12
- fix some problems related to relative paths in built in cp and mv

<a name="v0.15.0"></a>
### v0.15.0 - 2020-06-12
#### Major feature: new input syntax - Breaking Change
New search modes (see https://dystroy.org/broot/input/#the-filtering-pattern) :
	- fuzzy or regex on sub-paths (the path starting from the displayed root)
	- search in file content
- it's possible to configure how search modes are selected in config
- search pattern characters can be escaped with a '\'
#### Minor changes:
- tab goes to next direct match when there's no verb in input - Fix #234
- `:open_stay_filter` to be used if you want to keep the pattern when you navigate - Fix #240
- mouse capture can be disabled with `capture_mouse = false` - Fix #238
- several small fixes

<a name="v0.14.2"></a>
### v0.14.2 - 2020-06-01
- `apply_to` verb property - fix #237

<a name="v0.14.1"></a>
### v0.14.1 - 2020-05-29
- fix uppercase letters ignored in input field

<a name="v0.14.0"></a>
### v0.14.0 - 2020-05-29
#### Major feature: `:focus` verb
This verb can be called, and parameterized, with a path as argument, which makes it possible to have a shortcut to a specific location.
As a result, the specific `:focus_user_home` and `:focus_root` verbs have been removed (`:focus ~` works on all OS).
#### Major feature: panels!
There are three major ways to open a new panel:
- by using ctrl-left or ctrl-right, which can also be used to navigate between panels
- when a verb is edited, by using ctrl-p, which opens a panel which on closure will fill the argument
- by using any verb with a bang. For example `:focus! ~` or `:!help`
When you have two panels, you may use some new verbs like :copy_to_panel which copies the selection to the selected location in the other panel.
Many new verbs and functions are related to panels but broot can still be used exactly as before without using panels.
#### Major feature: autocompletion
Using the Tab key you can complete verbs or paths
#### Major feature: special paths
Some paths can be handled in a specific way. Fix #205 and #208
You can for example decide that some slow disk shouldn't be entered automatically
#### Minor changes:
- date/time format configurable - Fix #229
- esc doesn't quit broot anymore (by popular demand)
It's probably a good idea to remove your existing conf.toml file so that broot creates a brand new one with suggestions of shortcuts.

### v0.13.0 - 2020-02-05
#### Major change: git related features
- `:show_git_file_info` compute git repo statistics and file statuses. Statistics are computed in background and cached.
- `:git_diff` verb launching `git diff {file}`
- `:git_status` filter files to show only the ones which are relevant for `git status` (warning: slow on big repositories)
#### Major change: rewamped launch flags
Several new launch flags have been added, mostly doing the opposite of previous ones (eg `-S` negates `-s`) and a new entry in the conf.toml lets you define default flags (which can be overriden by the ones you pass on the command line).
Do `br --help` to view the complete list of flags.
#### Minor changes:
- on refresh or after command, if the previously selected path can't be selected (missing file, probably) then the previous index will be kept if possible
- alt-enter can be rebinded (users should not do that whithout binding `:cd`, though)
