Whats New

What's new overlay

After upgrading purple, the first launch shows a sticky toast inviting you to press n for the release notes since your previously seen version (capped at 5 versions). Closing the overlay with Esc, q or n marks the version as seen and dismisses the toast.

Reopening

Press n on the host list at any time, or run what's new from the command palette (:).

CLI

purple whats-new                  # all release notes
purple whats-new --since 2.40.0   # only entries newer than 2.40.0

Categories

Bullets are classified by prefix in CHANGELOG.md:

• feat: new functionality (rendered as + feat)
• change: updates to existing behaviour (rendered as ~ change)
• fix: bug fixes (rendered as ! fix)

Bullets without a prefix render as generic changes.
