• Cannot cd to ../ if the current directory is a symlink.
• Misleading values in long view when stat(2) fails.
• Printing garbage when running pp on a broken link.

New features/Improvements 😎

• Allow hiding files listed in a .hidden file (includes wildcards support) via ReadDotHidden in the config file.
• Several improvements to the long view mode:
  • Use -L,--follow-symlinks-long to dereference symbolic links in long view.
  • New command k, to toggle follow-links in long view (keybind Alt-+).
  • Allow ID names (instead of just numbers) via I in PropFields (not available on Termux).
  • User/group names (instead of ID numbers) is the new default for PropFields.
  • Birth time support (via b in PropFields).
  • Hard links number support (via l in PropFields). Color code: dk.
  • File allocated blocks support (via B in PropFields). Color code: db.
  • Allow not printing group information (via G in PropFields).
  • Add missing color code for file inode number: de.
  • Allow setting fields from the command line via --prop-fields=FORMAT (same values as PropFields).
  • Allow double space between fields via PropFieldsGap in the config file.
  • Consistent long view colors for nord, base16, and zenburn color schemes.
  • Improve files counter: 0 for empty dirs, ? for dirs with no read permission, and - for no-dirs.
• Consistent color for backup/temp files if TEMP isn't defined in the color scheme file.
• Make 8 color themes use 5 shades instead of just 3 (like 256-color and truecolor themes).
• Add --ls as short for --list-and-quit.
• Allow --stat and --stat-full to process multiple files at once (ex: --stat FILE FILE2 ...).
• keybinds/suggestions/TAB-comp: exclude sorts not available in light mode.
• Security: autocmd files won't be read if running on an untrusted environment (--secure-env or --secure-cmds).
• Set time style via --time-style (long view) and --ptime-style (p/pp command).
• Support for TIME_STYLE (long view) and PTIME_STYLE (p/pp command).
• Allow sorting files by blocks and links.
• Make Sort in the config file accept names, and not just numbers.
• New command kk to toggle max-filename-len.
• p/pp command: Do not abbreviate symlinks target.
• Add --color-links-as-target command line option.
• Improve extra color schemes.
• Allow running the pager only once via pg once.
• Add keybinding to run the pager (Alt-0).
• Set the pager listing mode via PagerView in the config file or --pager-view in the command line.

Breaking changes

• Since 1) it was unintuitive to have -a and -l to disable hidden files and long view respectively (instead of enabling them, like most files listers do (ex: ls, exa, eza, lsd)), and 2) we were using uppercase options sometimes to enable and sometimes to disable features (which is not consistent), we made the following changes:
  • -a enables hidden-files and -A disables it
  • -f enables dirs-first and -F disables it
  • -l enables long-view
  • -L like ls(1) -L option (long form: --follow-symlinks-long)
  • -o enables autocd and -O disables it
