+## [Windows native clipboard support]($section.id("2024-12-24T14:58:00"))
+
+I spent the morning dog-fooding flow on windows. I added native clipboard support, so now (finally)
+pasting code blocks does not munge their formatting, and you can now use the regular `ctrl+v`
+keybinding on windows instead of your terminal's paste function (ie. `ctrl+shift+v`). Also, I fixed
+`alt+shift+` keybindings, which were broken on windows (and no-one seems to have noticed!?).
+
+
+## [Binary releases]($section.id("2024-12-19T22:55:00"))
+
+Flow Control get it's first binary release! 🎉🍾🥳
+
+[neurocyte/flow/releases/tag/v0.2.0](https://github.com/neurocyte/flow/releases/tag/v0.2.0)
+
+
+## [Auto UTF-8 sanitization]($section.id("2024-12-18T16:33:00"))
+
+Flow will now read non UTF-8 files with out crashing. It'll do a simplistic 8bit to UTF-8
+transcoding and display a warning in the status bar. Writing the file will save it as UTF-8 and
+what you see is what you get. This is really simplistic, but at least for most western european
+codepages it should pretty much do the right thing.

+
+## [File type palette]($section.id("2024-12-10T20:27:00"))
+
+Another day, another feature. Today's feature-of-the-day is a new file type palette. You can now
+change the current file type on the fly with the Change file type command.
+
+[]($video.asset('2024-12-10_20-22-46.mp4').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Keybind configuration]($section.id("2024-12-05T20:55:00"))
+
+Today I merged the configurable keybindings branch! You can now customize your keybindings with the
+`Edit key bindings` command. This will open the keybindings json file in the configuration
+directory for the mode you are using. If the file does not yet exist it will be created from the
+built-in configuration. You can also save your keybinding configuration under a new file name to
+create a whole new keybinding mode.
+
+To help with editing the keybindings there is a new command `insert_command_name` that will list
+all available commands (not just those in the command palette) and insert the command name into the
+current file. This is usually bound to `ctrl+f2`. Commands can take arguments which are hinted in
+the `insert_command_name` list and may be added after the command name in the keybinding
+declaration. For example: `["ctrl+f9", "set_theme", "1984"],`
+
+Thank you to `@Robert Burnett` for getting the ball rolling on this and writing the vim style
+keybind parser!

+
+
+## [Expand/shrink selection]($section.id("2024-11-25T22:10:00"))
+
+Today I added implementations for the tree-sitter based expand/shrink selection commands. And also
+select next/previous sibling commands. Now you can move your selection around based on the
+tree-sitter syntax tree. These commands are bound to alt+shift+left/right and alt+home/end
+respectively. (in flow mode)
+
+
+## [Theme alpha channel support]($section.id("2024-11-04T23:29:00"))
+
+Today I added proper support for alpha blending of theme colors. This fixes a lot of issues with
+themes, especially light themes and should improve the overall polish of flow quite a bit.
+
+
+## [New themes, new comamnds and more]($section.id("2024-10-29T22:10:00"))
+
+Various minor features have been added over the past week. A new group of themes called Catppuccin.
+Swift language syntax highlighting. A new command `Open previous file`, useful for toggling between
+two files. And as always, many minor bug fixes and improvements.
+
+Today I pushed a major refactor of our tree-sitter incremental parsing support. Flow now uses a
+diff algorithm (dizzy) to generate tree-sitter edits on each frame (if there are changes) instead
+of directly translating individual edit operations into tree-sitter edits on every change. This
+seems to get us much more predicatable and reliable results from tree-sitter.
+
+Major refactoring of the keybinding system is still underway. When that is complete we will be able
+to move forward with support for dynamic keybindings. This will allow plugins to configure keybinds
+at runtime.
+
+
+## [Modal palettes]($section.id("2024-10-19T20:39:00"))
+
+Small quality of life UI fix today. Palettes are now properly modal and you can cancel them by
+clicking outside of the palette. This brings Flow a little closer to common GUI UI patterns. Also,
+just for fun, added a slight dimming effect to the modal background.
+
+[]($video.asset('Screencast_From_2024-10-19_20-36-37.webm').controls(true))
+
+And a fade effect...
+
+Fade effects are controlled by the `animation_max_lag` configuration parameter.
+
+
+## [New args parser]($section.id("2024-10-14T20:42:00"))
+
+Today flow's CLI got a nice revamp thanks to Joe Mckay and his flags zig library. This also brings
+improved error messages on invalid parameters. Thanks Joe!
+
+[]($image.asset('2024-10-14.png'))
+
+
+## [Toggle highlighting]($section.id("2024-10-12T20:34:00"))
+
+You can now toggle syntax highlighting with `S-F10` or the `Toggle syntax highlighting` command.
+This is not persistent, it's just for the currently open file. Also, the `--no-syntax` command line
+option will now leave LSP support and file type detection enabled and just disable syntax
+highlighting globally for the current session. You can still then turn it back on with `Toggle
+syntax highlighting`.
+
+
+## [Improved whitespace rendering]($section.id("2024-10-10T23:30:00"))
+
+Today I made some improvements to whitespace rendering. Indent size and tab width are now
+configurable and there is a third whitespace rendering mode that renders indent guides.
+
+Also, I added proper support for editing CRLF files and changing the line ending mode a couple of
+weeks ago and forgot to mention it here before going on vacation.
+
+
+## [Hover]($section.id("2024-09-10T22:04:00"))
+
+Today's feature is hover information support. Hold down Alt and hover with the mouse to fire off a
+hover LSP request. You can also use the keybinding, <Ctrl-k Ctrl-i> in flow/vim mode and <Space k>
+in helix mode. Also, Alt-LeftClick is goto_definition, which complements hover mode nicely
+(goto_definition is not new though).
+
+The information view is fairly simple. It does not render the markdown or allow clicking on links
+in the content yet.

+
+
+## [Save as]($section.id("2024-08-30T21:16:00"))
+
+Feature of the day. Save As! The save as command uses the same file browser mini mode as open file,
+so you can complete existing directory and file names. This can be used to copy, replace or create
+new files.
+
+[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-30_21-13-02.webm').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Improved open file completion]($section.id("2024-08-29T21:50:00"))
+
+Pressing tab at the open file now completes from with a simple prefix match just in the directory
+instead of fuzzy matching across the entire project. This is much more like vim, emacs, vscode,
+etc. and lays some ground work for adding a file browser later.
+
+
+## [Format on save]($section.id("2024-08-27T22:55:00"))
+
+Flow can now automatically format on save. You can enable it in the configuration file with the
+`enable_format_on_save` option.
+
+
+## [Open file fuzzy completion]($section.id("2024-08-26T22:00:00"))
+
+Pressing tab at the open file prompt will now fuzzy complete the file name from the project MRU
+file list. Pressing tab multiple time will cycle to  the next best matching file.
+
+
+## [Clock widget & beam cursor]($section.id("2024-08-26T21:09:00"))
+
+I've added a simple clock widget. You can add it to your bars wherever you want with the "clock"
+tag. It is not enabled by default.
+
+[]($image.asset('2024-08-26.png'))
+
+Thanks to @rockorager vim & helix modes will now show a beam cursor in insert mode and an underline
+cursor in visual/select mode if you have "enable_terminal_cursor" turned on in your config. Only on
+the primary cursor though as terminals do not support more than one native cursor.
+
+
+## [Status bar configuration]($section.id("2024-08-25T21:32:00"))
+
+Flow's statusbar is now much more configurable. Instead of individual config switches to
+enable/disable each widget, you can now configure the position of each widget with a string. Also,
+there is now an optional top bar too and a new expander widget to help centering or spacing out
+widgets. Have fun!
+
+[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-25_21-25-50.mp4').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Open recent project]($section.id("2024-08-19T23:28:00"))
+
+Today I finally implemented the open recent project command. Now you can quickly switch projects
+with C-r. Switching projects will also change the current working directory in the terminal so that
+new terminal splits and tabs will open at the correct location.
+
+[]($video.asset('2024-08-19_flow_open_recent_project.webm').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Cross file diagnostics]($section.id("2024-08-17T16:43:00"))
+
+Today's feature is diagnostics in other files. If your LSP returns diagnostics messages for a file
+(or files) you are not currently editing, then flow will display them in the file list panel and
+let you jump to the location with A-n or mouse click.
+
+You can also show diagnostics for the current file with C-S-m or by clicking on the diagnostics
+summary in the status bar.
+
+[]($video.asset('2024-08-18_flow_diagnostics_file_list_view.webm').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Find all references]($section.id("2024-08-17T23:59:00"))
+
+Today I finished off the find all references command. Enjoy!
+
+[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-17_23-53-42.mp4').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Non-tree-sitter build support]($section.id("2024-08-16T22:59:00"))
+
+You can now build Flow entirely without tree-sitter with zig build -Duse_tree_sitter=false. This
+will give you a tiny executable that is much more suitable for really small devices. Add it to all
+your docker containers and never use nano ever again! (ok, it's not quite that small)
+
+Also, you can now start the regular build of flow with --no-syntax if for some reason you don't
+want syntax highlighting.
+
+Also, 32 bit arm builds should now work. (with -Duse_tree_sitter=false)
+
+
+## [Find all refs prep work]($section.id("2024-08-16T00:13:00"))
+
+Started work on the find all references command (S-f12). It is working already, but I still need to
+add more detail to the results list. Also, you have to manually clear the list at the moment (C-j).
+Navigation of the results works the same as with find in files.
+
+
+## [Theme panel]($section.id("2024-08-14T21:33:00"))
+
+Feature of the day today is a new way to select themes. The list is getting long, so now there is a
+palette just for selecting themes. This also brings easily reusable palettes, so adding other
+features that need a palette type interface is now easy.
+
+[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-14_21-30-26.webm').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Panel views mouse control]($section.id("2024-08-13T19:48:00"))
+
+Flow's panel views can now be resized with the mouse!
+
+[]($video.asset('2024-08-13_flow_panel_resize.webm').controls(true))
+
+
+## [File list view keybinds and terminal background]($section.id("2024-08-12T23:28:00"))
+
+Today I added up/down/enter keybindings to find in files mode so it is possible to browse the match
+list via keyboard before jumping to a specific match.
+
+Also, flow now sets the terminal background color to match the selected theme. This makes borders a
+little less ugly if your terminal does not resize in grid steps. It also reduces resizing flicker
+on some terminals and enables transparency effects on others.
+
+
+## [File list view update]($section.id("2024-08-11T22:42:00"))
+
+Today I finished off the file list view. It is now scrollable with keyboard, mouse wheel and
+scrollbar. Also made it a little prettier. I fixed a few minor issues with the command palette too.
+
+[]($video.asset('2024-08-11_flow_filelist_view.mp4').controls(true))
+
+Oops, I forgot to record the mouse cursor. 😂 You all get the idea  though I hope.
+
+
+## [Windows TLC]($section.id("2024-08-08T22:53:00"))
+
+I gave the windows version some TLC today. Subprocess stdin input now works correctly and the
+project manager encodes and decodes LSP URLs with windows file paths.
+
+This means that language server and language formatter support in Windows is now on par with Linux
+and MacOS. 🎉 
+
+Pasting on windows now uses the internal clipboard by default as Windows doesn't support bracketed
+paste. You can still paste from the system clipboard with C-S-v.
+
+
+## [Fixing]($section.id("2024-08-07T21:58:00"))
+
+Mostly bug fixing today. In-band resize support is properly reset on exit now which eliminates the
+junk at your prompt if you resize your terminal after exiting flow. Also, find_in_files will no
+longer cause an integer overflow error if it matches the beginning of a line.
+
+
+## [Extra large file support]($section.id("2024-08-05T22:13:00"))
+
+Support for loading very very large files is now merged. I've tested files up to around 270 million
+lines large at around 4GB. File size should now be limited only by the available memory. Required
+RAM is around 8 times the file size. On my machine loads files at around 8 seconds per GB, which I
+think is fairly acceptable.
+
+
+## [CLI list languages and execute commands]($section.id("2024-07-30T22:21:00"))
+
+Today I added some CLI arguments:
+```
+        --list-languages
+            Show available languages.
+
+    -e, --exec <command>...
+            Excute a command on startup.
+```
+
+`--exec` allows you to execute mini scripts on flow startup.
+
+For example to change flow's whitespace setting:
+
+```
+flow --exec toggle_whitespace --exec quit
+```
+
+Or open and move to the end of a file:
+
+```
+flow src/main.zig --exec move_buffer_end
+```
+
+
+## [Performance tuning]($section.id("2024-07-29T22:12:00"))
+
+Two major performance enhancements today. One to make tree-sitter re-parsing not require a
+re-serialization of the entire buffer on every edit. And the second dramatically reduces the number
+of egc_length calls (aka, graphemeIterator) needed to create tree-sitter edit updates. Editing
+very, very large files (Sema.zig anyone?) should now be lag free again, at least for one cursor,
+and editing with multiple cursors should scale much better.
+
+
+## [File list jump commands]($section.id("2024-07-28T22:51:00"))
+
+Today I've added commands and keybindings (A-n/p) for jumping through the file list view. These are
+the same keybindings as next/previous diagnostic, but they are only active if the file list is
+visible.
+
+[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-07-28_22-47-40.mp4').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Find in files results]($section.id("2024-07-28T00:06:00"))
+
+Today I did some more work on a results list for the find in files command. It's not quite complete
+yet, but already quite usable.
+
+[]($video.asset('2024-07-28_00-04-01.mp4').controls(true))
+
+
+## [Recent files & superhtml]($section.id("2024-07-22T23:46:00"))
+
+I'm back from vacation and development work will now continue. Today brings some minor improvements
+to the rendering of the open recent file list and superhtml support (shtml).
+
+
+## [New language support]($section.id("2024-07-10T22:03:00"))
+
+Added yaml syntax highlighting today. Previously also added nim, nimble and kdl.
+
+
+## [Colored undercurls]($section.id("2024-07-09T23:46:00"))
+
+Flow now has colored undercurls for diagnostics.
+
+[]($image.asset('2024-07-09.png'))
+
+(if the terminal supports them)
+
+
+## [Just fixing]($section.id("2024-07-09T15:38:00"))
+
+Sorry that the dev-log is so quiet. I haven't stopped working on flow or anything, but it's been
+all fixes and tweaks for the last week or so. I only report on new user visible features here. And
+then only if they're not discussed in any of the other channels.
+
+
+## [Windows fixes]($section.id("2024-06-27T22:28:00"))
+
+Lot of fixes for flow on windows today. Fuzzy find, window size, some integer overflows and
+subprocess calls. Just LSP URIs left to fix.
+
+Also, the inspector view is now working again (everywhere).
+
+
+## [CLI project support]($section.id("2024-06-23T21:41:00"))
+
+You can now open directories (aka projects) on the command line. Only one is allowed. All other
+files on the same command line will be opened relative to this project.
+
+
+## [Command palette MRU persistence]($section.id("2024-06-23T19:31:00"))
+
+Last used times are now persisted in `~/.local/state/flow/commands`
+
+
+## [State moved]($section.id("2024-06-23T15:53:00"))
+
+Flow now stores it's state files in `~/.cache/flow` instead of `~/.local/state/flow`
+
+This better matches the XDG Base Directory Specification.
+
+Move your existing state files with `mv ~/.cache/flow ~/.local/state` if you want to keep them.
+
+
+## [Command palette MRU ordered]($section.id("2024-06-22T22:00:00"))
+
+The command palette is now sorted by last used time. This helps a lot with repeating commands. Last
+used time is not persisted across sessions yet though.
+
+
+## [Command palette improvements]($section.id("2024-06-21T01:24:00"))
+
+Today's blood sweat and tears brings keybinding hints, a scrollbar and page down/up commands to the
+command palette. 😅
+
+[]($image.asset('2024-06-21.png'))
+
+This should help discoverability a lot for all those who were too lazy to RTFM.  (that's me 10
+minutes after adding yet another keybinding 😂)
+
+
 ## [Command palette fuzzy matching]($section.id("2024-06-19T17:47:00"))
 
 Fuzzy matching is now supported in the command palette and clicking the flow button will now open

+
+You can [subscribe to this page via RSS]($link.page('devlog').alternative('rss')) and find more
+devlog entries in the [archive](/devlog/).
+
+
+## [New command: copy_file_name]($section.id("2025-04-15T17:54:00"))
+
+I added a command to copy the current file name and position to the system clipboard. This is very
+useful for grabbing something to use for setting a breakpoint, or for pasting into a bookmarks
+file. It's bound to `shift+alt+c` for file name and line, column position and `ctrl+k alt+c` for
+just the file name. Also, if there are multiple cursors it will copy multiple entries on a line
+each. Nice for creating jump lists.
+
+
+## [Column highlight]($section.id("2025-04-08T23:14:00"))
+
+Today brings a new configuration option: `highlight_columns`. This string contains a list of space
+separated columns numbers where flow should draw a border. This can help with manual wrapping of
+text as as visual indicator of how long the current line is.
+
+
+## [Integer command arguments]($section.id("2025-04-08T18:04:00"))
+
+Integer arguments are back! Now you can once again use integer prefixes for many commands. Most
+commands use the integer prefix as a repeat count, but the exact meaning is dependant on the
+command being executed. The current value of the prefix is displayed in the `keybind` widget in the
+status bar. Prefix digits are bound to `alt+0` through `alt+9` in flow and emacs mode and just
+the plain digit keys in vim and helix modes.
+
+
+## [Atomic updates for vim & helix insert modes]($section.id("2025-04-07T21:08:00"))
+
+I added `init_command` and `deinit_command` support for keybinding modes that allow us to now
+call `pause_undo_history` and `resume_undo_history` when entering/exiting insert modes. This means
+that insert modes will now create just one single undo step for the entire input made while in the
+mode.
+
+
+## [Customizable themes]($section.id("2025-03-26T23:05:00"))
+
+You can now customise the current theme in your local configuration directory without modifying
+flow itself. Just run the `Customize theme` command and flow will copy the current theme to your
+configuration directory and open it for you to edit.
+
+
+## [Debug build warning]($section.id("2025-03-26T19:22:00"))
+
+There is now a small warning on the home screen when you run a debug build. Debug builds are
+significantly slower than ReleaseFast builds. The build type is also now mentioned in the version
+information.
+
+
+## [Widget parameters]($section.id("2025-03-25T21:19:00"))
+
+Mini feature today. You can now add parameters to (some of) the status bar widgets by separating
+them from the widget name with a colon.
+
+- `linenumber` widgets may have (up to) three parameters: pad width (int), pad value (space/zero) and
+digit style (ascii/digital/subscript/superscript).
+
+For example: `linenumber:4,zero,digital`.
+
+- `spacer` widgets may have one parameter: width (int)
+
+- `clock` widgets may have one parameter: digit style (ascii/digital/subscript/superscript)
+
+[]($image.asset('2025-03-25.png'))
+
+
+## [Binary queries & fully async LSP]($section.id("2025-03-25T10:26:00"))
+
+A few major behind the scene updates in the last week. Nothing directly user facing, but still
+worth mentioning here.
+
+- Flow now uses pre-loaded binary versions of the tree-sitter queries. The scheme query text is
+  loaded at compile time and serialized to binary which is then loaded at runtime. The tree-sitter
+  query parser is incredibly slow and the binary loader is close to instant, so this saves around
+  20-30ms when loading files. Every frame counts!
+
+- Flow's LSP backend is now 100% async. It used to be able to block the project manager in some
+  cases, potentially leading to pauses when listing project files and occationally timeouts when
+  loading the first file of a file type. These issues can no longer occur. LSP pauses can now only
+  effect LSP things, like diagnostics or goto_* requests.
+
+
+## [zig-0.14 released]($section.id("2025-03-05T15:31:00"))
+
+Nightly builds are now on the freshly released `zig-0.14`.
+
+
+## [Smart pairs and smarter open file]($section.id("2025-03-04T21:11:00"))
+
+Today we have a couple of useful quality of life features.
+
+A much improved `smart_insert_pair` command, and to go along with it, new commands
+`smart_insert_pair_close` and `smart_delete_backwards`. This pretty much completes smart pair
+handling as far as I am concerned and flow should generally do-the-right-thing when inserting or
+deleting paired characters like `()`, `{}`, `[]`, `""`, etc.
+
+Automatic file link parsing in selections when using the `open_file` command. What this means is
+that flow will automatically open files (if they actually exist) if you select the file path before
+pressing `ctrl+o`, including parsing for line number and column indexes. This is especially useful
+for command output buffer and means that you can easily jump to files in compiler errors or grep
+matches. Tip: use the `expand_selection` command to select a whole file path in a command output
+buffer.

+Wierd issues on macos with `zig-0.14` today, so I have reverted the `master` branch to `zig-0.13`
+with a force push and cherry-picked all the new features since the `zig-0.14` update. There is now
+a `zig-0.14` branch pointing to the `zig-0.14` changes (where `master` used to be). I also added
+the build mode and zig version to the version info.
+
+
+## [Bling!]($section.id("2025-02-05T22:40:00"))
+
+Todays feature of the day is a little bit of bliiiiing. You can now select from four different
+digit styles for the line number gutter!

+
+By far the most painful zig update in flow's history!

+
+## [Ephemeral buffers]($section.id("2025-01-27T20:11:00"))
+
+Today's update brings better support for ephemeral buffers. These buffers are used for task output,
+new files and the help buffer. They can only be saved by giving them a new name first with the
+`save_as` command and do not store undo info when closed unless first given a name. Also added is
+the new create_new_file command, bound by default to `ctrl+shift+n`.
+
+
+## [Tasks]($section.id("2025-01-26T22:11:00"))
+
+Today's feature is a task runner. You can now run commands inside flow and have their output placed
+in a buffer. Tasks are remembered per project. The default keybinding for the task palette is
+`alt+!`.

+
+## [Tabs widget]($section.id("2025-01-24T23:47:00"))
+
+Today's quality flow time brings a new `tabs` widget. Add it to your topbar config option to get a
+tab bar that you can use to switch buffers with the mouse or a keybinding to
+`next_tab`/`previous_tab`. You can close a tab with middle mouse click.

+
+
+## [Delete buffer command]($section.id("2025-01-22T22:56:00"))
+
+There is now a `delete_buffer` command that is bound to the `delete` key when in the buffer
+selector palette. Deleting a buffer will remove it from the buffers list and free it's undo
+history.
+
+
+## [Multi-buffer]($section.id("2025-01-21T23:10:00"))
+
+Today's feature of the day is **multi-buffer support**. Thanks to a new buffer manager module you
+can now switch buffers without first saving them. The recent files list has gained a dirty
+indicator so you can see which files need to be saved and there is a new command `switch_buffer`
+that will bring up a list of currently open buffers. The home screen now also has a `save_all`
+command for those times you just want to exit without saving each file individually first.

+## [Lots and lots]($section.id("2025-01-19T15:09:00"))
+
+A lot has happened over the last two weeks. Sorry about the lack of posts here in the devlog. Due
+to the huge uptick in community contributions I have been concentrating on getting PRs reviewed and
+merged. Here's a list of highlights of whats new (in no particular order):
+
+- **Beam cursor mode mouse select** - Selecting with the mouse when you have a beam cursor active now
+    gives selection behaviour like a GUI editor. ie. the position of the selection is calculated
+    gap to gap instead of char to char.
+
+- **Flow select mode** - Press `ctrl+space` in flow input mode to enter a select mode that lets you
+    extend your selection with regular movement keys.
+
+- **Emacs bindings greatly improved** - Emacs input mode keybindings are now much more fleshed out and
+    include all the emacs basic movement commands. Emacs input mode now also has a selection mode
+    (also `ctrl+space`). Thanks to `@marler8997` for this work.
+
+- **Win32 GUI** - Yes, flow can now render itself in a win32 GUI window for all those terminal
+    impaired windows users (with full GPU acceleration!). The GUI binary can be built with `zig
+    build -Dgui --release=safe` and is called `flow-gui.exe`. Functionality in this GUI version of
+    flow is identical to the TUI version, although as of this writing there are some minor renderer
+    features still missing such as curly underlines, mouse cursors and double wide characters.
+    Thanks to `@marler8997` for the huge amount of work he put into this.
+
+- **Multi cursor changes** - Adding cursors is now `alt+click` (it was `ctrl+click`). This is to
+    fall inline with common practice in other editors (zed and vscode). Also, you can now remove
+    cursors by `alt+click`ing on them.
+
+- **Gutter symbols** - There is a new config option to disable gutter symbols and reduce the size
+    of the line number gutter if you so desire.
+
+- **Verilog support** - Thanks to `@edwloef` we now support syntax highlighting and formatting for
+    verlog files.
+
+- **LSP: Rename symbol command** - Thanks to `@Travis` we now have LSP `rename_symbol` support.
+    This is done a little differently in flow to most other editors. When running the
+    `rename_symbol` command we add cursors at all the symbol references and let you rename them
+    interactively. Cross file renames are not yet supported, but will show up in the references
+    list for you to jump directly to them and perform the rename yourself if you so desire.
+
+Oh, and one more thing:
+
+- **Shell command bindings** - You can now bind shell commands to keys and have the output inserted
+   into the current buffer, a new buffer, or the log. The commands are `shell_execute_insert` and
+   `shell_execute_log`. See `src/keybind/builtin/flow.json` for some examples.
+
+
+## [Whitespace revamp]($section.id("2025-01-02T18:44:00"))
+
+Today's feature of the day: Much improved whitespace rendering. Flow now uses a map of the rendered
+view to process whitespace rendering after finishing the main render pass. This fixes a few minor
+whitespace rendering bugs, and more importantly, allows easy and fast rendering of more whitespace
+related features. There are new modes: leading, eol and tabs, to render just subset of whitespace.
+And, best of all, flow now highlights leading (ie. spaces before tabs) and trailing whitespace
+errors.
