• We now manage the user preferences using the package Preferences.jl. Hence, we dropped all the previous functions to perform customization, leading to breaking changes.
• ^ is mapped to BOL (PR #28)
• The pager supports a new visual mode in which the user can select and copy lines.
• The pager can use the alternate screen buffer, which preserves the current buffer content. This mode is now the default one when showing documentation using @help or in the REPL mode pager?>. (Issue #29)
• We use an intermediate buffer to draw the view, leading to less screen flickering.
• The pre-compilation statements are generated by PrecompileTools.jl.
• We now consider the entire display size when showing docstrings using @help.

• The keywords freeze_rows and freeze_columns were renamed to frozen_rows and frozen_columns.
• The keyword draw_ruler was renamed to show_ruler.
• The type of keystroke values are now String instead of Union{Symbol, String}. This modification can break code that adds keybindings. However, it removed a lot of type instability and runtime dispatch, leading to a substantial performance gain.
• The function set_highlighting can be used to change the active and inactive search highlight decoration.
• Many performance improvements. The inner engine to create text views, called "recipes", was removed in favor of the algorithm in StringManipulation.jl (function textview).
