Please report bugs regarding this change.echomsg and echoerr are added to print a message to the message line and to the log file at the same time.empty, binary, and loading...) are now shown with reverse attribute.cmap is removed. This has caused a number of bugs in the previous release. A different mechanism for a similar functionality is planned.-command has been added to execute a command on client initialization (by @TeddyDD).select command is now executed after initialization if the first command line argument is a file.delete command.shell-pipe commands were broken with cmap patch. This should now work as before.push commands were broken with cmap patch and sometimes ignored command line mode for some keys to execute as in normal mode. This should now work as before.:shell should switch the prefix to $).color256 is added to use 256 colors instead. Users who want the old behavior should enable this option in their configuration files.incsearch option is added to enable incremental matching while searching.ignoredia and smartdia are added to ignore diacritics in latin letters for search and find (by @martinlebeda).delete command is added for file deletion (by @Kallinteris-Andreas).

up/down (and variants), updir, toggle, search-next, and search-prev commands.
