Syntax Highlighting

Edit v2 adds the Lightweight Syntax Highlighter. It has a ~40kB footprint for a dozen languages plus runtime, barely grows with each language added, and runs at >100MB/s.

The highlighter is based on a simple programming language that combines regular expressions with explicit control flow. It's designed such that the runtime can be easily ported to other languages, including JavaScript.

From 1.2.1 to 2.0.0, the edit binary size increased from 267 to 330 kB for win exe and 217 to 300 kB for linux binary.

What is edit? README intro:

A simple editor for simple needs.

This editor pays homage to the classic MS-DOS Editor, but with a modern interface and input controls similar to VS Code. The goal is to provide an accessible editor that even users largely unfamiliar with terminals can easily use.

In NetNewsWire 7.0.5 we made a change to get the feed image from RSS via the image element.
Weren’t we already doing this? Seems surprising that we weren’t!
It’s because, historically, these images were often rectangular — but the app wants square images. These days, probably due to the influence of mobile apps, images tend to be square, which is great. It means we can use these.
Note to feed publishers We suggest checking your feeds to see if they are supplying an image URL.

Ghostty, a modern GPU-accelerated terminal emulator developed by Mitchell Hashimoto, is transitioning its active development away from GitHub due to ongoing reliability issues that have disrupted daily workflows.

Hashimoto announced the decision in an emotional post titled “Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub,” stating that the project will gradually eliminate its dependency on GitHub while maintaining the current repository as a read-only mirror. Further details about the new hosting platform will be provided in the coming months, as discussions continue with both commercial and open-source providers.

In these uncertain and divisive times, we appreciate Anthropic offering support to the Blender project in the form of a Patron-level membership. This enables the Blender team to keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators.

David Steele, maintainer of the popular pgBackRest backup and restore project for PostgreSQL, has archived the project and announced that it is no longer being maintained.

After a lot of thought, I have decided to stop working on pgBackRest. I did not come to this decision lightly. pgBackRest has been my passion project for the last thirteen years, and I was fortunate to have corporate sponsorship for much of this time, but there were also many late nights and weekends as I worked to make pgBackRest the project it is today, aided by numerous contributors. Every open-source developer knows exactly what I mean and how much of your life gets devoted to a special project.

Since Crunchy Data was sold, I have been maintaining pgBackRest and looking for a position that would allow me to continue the work, but so far I have not been successful. Likewise, my efforts to secure sponsorship have also fallen far short of what I need to make the project viable.

OBS doesn’t seem to be the best option for this task. Are there any other choices?
