Poly v1.2.0

Poly Release v1.2.0

You can download the pre-packaged executable here.

New Features

• None.

Improvements

• Commands now run in worker threads, improving handling of long-running tasks.
• Poly now handles wide and combining characters more accurately.
• Cancelling a single tab now cancels the ongoing operations without affecting others and avoids spillover.
• Autocomplete suggestions update automatically when aliases or custom commands change.
• Script paths are handled more robustly, including support for relative paths and ~.
• Poly now sanitizes environment variables before spawning subprocesses to avoid conflicts or leaks.
• All commands and aliases are now lowercased for consistency.
• Completion cache invalidates properly, and background worker threads are cleaned up properly, improving UI responsiveness.
• Improved error messages for better transparency.
• Significantly better handling of different tab modes.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed piping to be more reliable in multi-stage pipelines, with recursion checks to prevent infinite loops.
• Script loading gracefully returns empty content instead of crashing.
• Background process outputs are flushed correctly, avoiding missing or truncated lines.
• Proper cleanup and state restoration when tabs are closed or cancelled.
• Fixed strange bug when typing inputs longer than the available width resulting in a crash.
• More resilient stdin handling, especially when shells unexpectedly close or reject input.
