    🏁 Edit: Due to a significant bug on the Windows version, please use version 2.0.6-dev.3 (attached below as 2.0.5 to avoid causing errors for automated installers) instead of 2.0.5 (for Windows only). Sorry for any inconvenience.

      • Other minor issues and improvements.

  • v2.0.4 Changes

    📦 Note for package maintainers: build paths were changed in this version to conform with the go.mod specification for projects with a semantic version >=2.0.0 (see #1638). If you are building micro, it is highly recommended that you use the provided makefile, or update your build scripts to build with the new v2 path for build tags.

  • v2.0.3 Changes

    April 10, 2020

    Micro 2.0.3

    ⚡️ This is a relatively minor update. For the next large update (2.1.0) I hope to provide improvements to the keybinding system and a (light and optional) Vim keybinding plugin.

    v2.0.3 changelog:

    • Micro will output to pipes if it is on the left side of a pipe
      • Running micro | cat will open micro and pipe the result (when the buffer is closed) to cat. Since micro can also read from pipes, this means you can make a pipe chain interactive by placing micro in it.
    • 🆕 New +LINE:COL flag for opening a file at a location (file.txt:LINE:COL syntax still supported)
    • 🛠 Minor bug fixes
    • Syntax file improvements
      • Csharp-script (new)
      • Sagemath (new)
      • Julia
      • Python 3
    • 👕 Linter improvements
      • Haskell
      • C++

  • v2.0.2 Changes

    February 26, 2020

    Micro v2.0.2.

    🚀 This release contains search and replace improvements, changes to some default options, and bug fixes regarding syntax highlighting and multiple cursors.

    • Search and replace improvements:

      • Regex capture groups are now supported in the replace command. Examples:

      replace "(foo)" "$1-bar" replace "(foo)" "${1}-bar" replace "(?Pfoo)" "$group-bar" replace "(?Pfoo)" "$group-bar" replace "(?P\w+):\s+(?P\w+)$" "$key=$value"

      • Search and replace will only take effect in the current selection if one exists.

    • Option changes:

      • New xterm option (off by default) to force micro to believe the current terminal is xterm-256color. Please use with caution.
      • Make eofnewline on by default.
      • Make autosu off by default.
      • Make fastdirty off by default.

    • 🏗 Correct version info for snap builds.

    • 🐛 Bug fixes (and a new test suite for text transformation correctness).

  • v2.0.0 Changes

    February 11, 2020

    🔨 The micro codebase has been refactored and is now better than ever! Micro 2.0 is an internal overhaul, with many new features as well.

    ⚡️ This new version introduces breaking changes to the plugin API, though nearly all official plugins have been updated with 2.0 support. From now on, all plugins are placed in ~/.config/micro/plug to avoid loading/conflicting with old plugins. This is handled automatically by the plugin manager.

    ⬆️ Please use the -clean flag when upgrading to micro 2.0 to clean out your configuration directory. This will remove unused options, remove the plugins directory if it exists, and remove any non-compliant file formats from ~/.config/micro/buffers, which stores buffer information for persistent undo and cursor history.

    Below is the changelog for micro 2.0:

    • 🐎 Overall performance and stability improvements
    • Simple autocompletion.
      • Autocompletion (tab by default) will do a simple "buffer completion" which will autocomplete according to words used elsewhere in the buffer. In the future plugin support could be added along with support for interfacing with language-specific autocompletion tools.
    • Automatic backups.
      • Backup files are stored in ~/.config/micro/backups for every open buffer and are saved roughly every 8 seconds if the buffer is being modified. Backups are removed when the buffer is closed, but if micro or the system crashes, any unsaved changes can be recovered by re-opening the file (micro will auto- recover) or by manually viewing the backup in the ~/.config/micro/backups directory.
    • Diff gutter
      • Shows your modifications in real-time in the gutter. Integrates with git automatically. Enable with the diffgutter option.
    • 👀 Configurable statusline (see the statusformatl and statusformatr options).
    • 👕 Configurable linter plugin (see the new linter docs).
    • Resizeable splits (click and drag on separators).
    • 🔀 Buffer synchronization when the same file is opened
      multiple times.
    • 👍 Keybindings and mouse support in the command bar.
    • 🆕 New options:
      • encoding: support for loading files in non-UTF8 encodings.
      • backup: performs automatic backups.
      • diffgutter: shows modifications in the gutter (integrates with Git).
      • statusformatl and statusformatr: options for customizing the look of the status line (left and right sides).
      • paste: tells micro a paste event is happening. Enable this before doing a paste through the terminal, and disable afterwards. See > help copy-paste for extensive details.
      • smartpaste: attempts to preserve correct indentation when pasting.
    • 🆕 New textfilter command for using shell commands to help with editing.
    • 👍 Complete re-organization of the code to support better go modules and maintain a better directory structure.
    • 👍 Better plugin interface with better access to the Go standard library and internal Micro functions (lots of documentation still needs to be written). See the new plugins documentation.
    • 🔌 The plugin manager can now be used from the CLI.
    • 🛠 General QoL improvements and bug fixes.
      • Notably the infamous autoclose plugin crash issue is fixed.
    • 🆕 New pre-installed colorschemes.
      • darcula
      • one-dark
      • gotham
      • sunny-day
      • material-tc
      • monokai-dark
    • 👌 Improved Windows support.
    • Many new syntax files and improvements to existing syntax files.

    If you find any bugs please report them on the Github issue tracker. Enjoy!
