Changed

• The default paths of files read by lf is changed on Windows, to separate configuration files from data files (#2051).
  • Configuration files (lfrc/colors/icons) are now stored in %APPDATA%, which can be overridden by %LF_CONFIG_HOME%.
  • Data files (files/marks/tags/history) are now stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%, which can be overridden by %LF_DATA_HOME%.
• The change for following symbolic links when tagging files from the previous release has been reverted (#2055). The previous change made it impossible to tag symbolic links separately from their targets, and also caused lf to run slowly in some cases.
• The existing globfilter and globsearch options are now deprecated in favor of the new filtermethod and searchmethod options, which support regex patterns (#2058).
  • set globfilter true should be replaced by set filtermethod glob.
  • set globsearch true should be replaced by set searchmethod glob.
• File sizes are now displayed using binary units (e.g. 1.0K means 1024 bytes, not 1000 bytes) (#2062). The maximum width for displaying the file size has been increased from four to five characters.

Added

• dircounts are now respected when sorting by size (#2025).
• The info and sortby options now support btime (file creation time) (#2042). This depends on support for file creation times from the underlying system.
• The selection in Visual mode now follows wrapping when wrapscan/wrapscroll is enabled (#2056).
• Input pasted from the terminal is now ignored while in Normal mode (#2059). This prevents pasted content from being treated as keybindings, which can result in dangerous unintended behavior.
• The Command-line mode completion now supports keywords for the selmode and sortby options (#2061), as well as the info and preserve options (#2071).
• Command line flags are now exported as environment variables in the form lf_flag_{flag} (#2079).
• Support is added for terminal escape sequences that disable text styles (#2101).

Fixed

• dircounts are now automatically populated after enabling it (#2049).
• A bug where directories are unsorted after reloading when dircache is disabled is now fixed (#2050).
• Filenames are now escaped when completing shell commands (#2071).
• A bug where completion menu entries are misaligned when containing fullwidth characters is now fixed (#2071).
• The on-load command now passes all files in the directory as arguments, not just files visible to the user (#2077).
• Failure to move files across different filesystems is now shown as an error instead of a success in the UI (#2085).
• Errors are now logged correctly when there are multiple errors during move/copy operations (#2089).
• The progress for copy operations is now displayed immediately in the UI, even if it takes time to calculate the total size of files to be copied (#2093).
