The refreshing hot-fix release

[2.0.2] - 2025-02-16

Fixed

• Fixed OptionList.add_options exhausting iterator #5540
• Fixed screen not refreshing after pop #5543

The Escaped release

A small hotfix:

Fixed

• Fixed escape tags in Content markup #5536

The Smooooth release

This is a big release!

• Arbitrary text selection. You can now select text, and hit ctrl+c to copy it to the clipboard. This works just about everywhere, although there a re a few widgets were it isn't yet implemented.

Screen.Recording.2025-02-16.at.11.59.14.mov

• Smoother scrolling, for Kitty, Ghostty, and some other terminals.
• New content system
• Many fixes, see the full changelog below...

Breaking change: Strings returned from render() and other places will now be interpreted with Content.from_markup, rather than Rich.from_markup. This may result in slightly different colors, and emoji codes (like ":smiley:") will no longer be processed automatically. If you want to restore the old behavior you can return Rich.from_markup("Your output here") rather than string literal.

Why 2.0.0 ?

It took us more than 3 years to get to 1.0. But a couple of months to get to 2.0? Why?

We follow Semver which says that after 1.0, all breaking changes bump the major version number. We have some breaking changes here, which will be trivial to fix -- if they effect you at all. But a breaking change is a breaking change!

There can be only One point Zero Release

If you have been following along, this is a relatively modest release. Fixes and some small features.

However, as a 1.0.0 release this is a big milestone for us at Textualize!

A big thank you to @darrenburns @davep @rodrigogiraoserrao and the many community contributors for this release!

Note that 1.0.0 doesn't mean that we are done. Far from it! Watch this space.
