This quick minor release introduces some more enhancements and fixes for annoyances found while testing other stuff, most of them are triggered in some edge cases but still, they were causing an itch 😄

Some nice additions are: better restoration of window size on startup which was causing me headaches on wayland, support for autocompletion of preprocessor symbols on C/C++ and fallback detection of UTF-16/32 when no encoding was detected.

After two months finally a release with the accumulated sum of new features, fixes and enhancements!

One notable change is the DocView cache for better performance on files with really long lines, which previously caused the editor to hang when plugins like drawwhitespace, colorpreview or selectionhighlight were enabled.

Also, this release introduces code that moves window management from C to Lua, which breaks most system.{*window*} functions. Updating the following plugins will be necessary for a smooth transition:

• centerdoc
• opacity
• lsp
