l0ng-ai 81c9dac526 docs(changelog): re-file Unreleased entries after the rebase onto main
The rebase onto 64403cf applied every hunk without a conflict and still
produced a wrong file, which is the failure mode worth naming: this
branch's "reorder the Unreleased sections" commit moved its own entries
to Added -> Changed -> Fixed, and replaying that on a main whose
Unreleased had grown three new entries wedged this branch's ### Changed
and ### Fixed headings into the middle of main's ### Added list.

The result had two of *other people's* entries — "Fork an agent session"
and "Copy Session ID", both Added, both from #211 — orphaned under this
branch's ### Fixed, and a duplicate ### Changed / ### Fixed pair further
down. Git had nothing to complain about; the text merged cleanly and the
meaning did not.

Restored to main's structure with this branch's two entries filed under
the headings they belong to. No entry text changed on either side; all
seven Unreleased entries are present, verified against the union of both
parents.

Why

  • Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
  • Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
  • Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
  • Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:

macOS …-macos-arm64.dmg · …-x86_64.dmg drag into Applications
Windows …-setup.exe · portable ….zip
Linux …-x86_64.AppImage chmod +x and run — x11/wayland libs bundled

What's inside

Input ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Coding agents per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).
