Hi,
Bobcat version 0.9.2 is released. (Windows users can download the binary executable as a zip file).
It has some nice features and bug-fixes.
- Root detection on Linux: Bobcat can now detect privilege escalation and warn the user accordingly. (2a41e02)
- Event loop optimized: Bobcat now uses a highly optimized event loop, thanks to the new ProcessWaitEvent class. (3b92c4b)
- Adjustable event timeout: It is now possible to set the PTY event wait timeout via the settings. (dc2294c)
- QuickText refactored: QuickText module now has a type system, allowing separation between text, commands, and scripts. (e5f15a7)
- PATH detection: Added a profile option to append Bobcat's exe directory to PATH variable. (60d088f)
Screenshot:
My next move will be in the direction of enabling semantic prompts and related features. Adding scripting/plugin (Esc-based) interface, and of course more bug-fixes.
Best regards,
Oblivion

Hi,
Bobcat improvements and new features:
- Parallel search:
Bobcat can now utiilze multithreaded parallel search.
In that case the search limit will apply per-thread (e.g. if the limit is 64K items, it will be a per-thread constraint).
Parallel search works best on large buffers or when there are more than 64K items to search.
- Unified and optimized highlighting:
This is an under-the-hood improvement.
Bobcat now uses a unified highlighting system.
This will allow easy implementation of any type of highlighting in the future.
- Navigator:
Now warns user about root access (Linux specific).
We are very close to 0.9.3
Best regards,
Oblivion

Hi,
Bobcat 0.9.3 is released.
What's Changed:
- Root access warning now shows process name (linux).
- Highlighting unified & optimized.
- Finder: Parallelized (multithreaded) search option added - works best when searching more than 64K items.
- Navigator now warns on root access.
- Smart selection pattern persistence problem fixed.
- Runtime switch to enable Wayland on GTK backend (experimental!)
Navigator, warning on privilege escalation:
As always, windows binaries are available on the release page.
If you are going to update Bobcat manually be sure to update TerminalCtrl to the latest revision first.
