Added CLI option --print-pwd-as-result to simplify implementing "cd on quit" using shell alias (See #437) alias xcd='cd "$(xplr --print-pwd-as-result)"'
Added new key binding ctrl-d to duplicate a file or directory in the same parent directory with a different name. (See #434).

If errors occur during startup, xplr will display a debug error screen. This can be disabled by setting xplr.config.general.disable_debug_error_mode = true
While creating files (e.g. path/to/file), if the parent directories don't exist, they will be automatically created.

Deprecated app.directory_buffer, app.history, and app.last_modes in the custom dynamic layout renderer context. As of now, there's no way to access these fields in dynamic layouts. While app.history and app.last_modes can be re-added upon request (with justification), app.directory_buffer has been deprecated for good. However, there's no change in the CallLua* context.
As a result, change directory performance has been restored.
Set xplr.config.general.hide_remaps_in_help_menu to true to hide the remaps in help menu.
None will be serialized to nil in Lua.
LuaEval can now return a function that will be called with the Lua Context argument. Refer to the Full List of Messages doc for example.

Fixed a nasty performance issue with rendering custom dynamic layouts in a big directory.
Fixed another nasty issue of cursor jumping back to the initial item after visiting a big directory.

Deprecated config.general.cursor. The default terminal cursor will be used for the time being.
The input buffer now supports cursor movement and other readline-like editing features.
You can now replace most boilerplate configuration handling keys to send BufferInputFromKey, RemoveInputBufferLastCharacter, RemoveInputBufferLastWord, SetInputBuffer = "" etc. messages with a single UpdateInputBufferFromKey message.
Pass multiple paths as command-line arguments or via stdin to select paths, e.g. xplr -- $PWD /path/to/select/1 /path/to/select/2.
Pass --force-focus to focus on the first path even if it's a directory, e.g. xplr . --force-focus.
Order of logs has been reversed in the UI. Now the most recent log will be displayed at the top.
Added new messages LuaEval and LuaEvalSilently to run Lua code without needing to define a function. However, the app context won't be available.
Added new key handlers:
- on_alphanumeric
- on_character
- on_navigation
- on_function
Fixed a bug where opening xplr inside a symlink opened xplr in the physical path.
Fixed a bug where passing invalid CLI arguments didn't cause any error.

Added CustomContent as layout option that can be used to render custom paragraphs, lists and tables. Both static and dynamic.
Added support for optionally defining custom layouts for different modes.
Added xplr.config.general.focus_selection_ui to highlight selected files under focus differently than files under focus that are not selected.
Added PopModeKeepingInputBuffer, and SwitchMode alternatives to allow switching to different modes without resetting the input buffer.
Removed config field from CallLuaArg as it's already available globally as xplr.config.
Fixed a bug which caused xplr to misbehave when used with specific tools and environment (e.g. neovim, fzf, zsh4humans etc.).
Recover mode will be disabled by default. i.e. xplr.config.general.disable_recover_mode has been deprecated. Use xplr.config.general.enable_recover_mode instead.
Library users please refer to the latest API docs and examples.
