Full Release Notes

# Pad Everything

This is a small feature release that adds `--padding` to as many commands as possible. For example:

<p><img width="875" height="376" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/88d7ec90-296c-478a-ac31-f652184798f7" /></p>

Padding arguments work similarly to CSS values:

* With one value, padding applies to all sides (`--padding="4"`)
* With two values, padding applies vertically and horizontally, respectively (`--padding="4 10"`)
* With four values, padding applies top, right, bottom, and left, respectively (`--padding="4 10"`)

Which commands can be padded? These:

* `choose`
* `confirm`
* `file`
* `filter`
* `input`
* `pager`
* `spin`
* `style`
* `table`
* `write`

Special thanks to @caarlos0 for banging this one out in record time, for none other than @dhh. 💎

<summary>Verifying the artifacts</summary>

First, download the [`checksums.txt` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/releases/download/v0.17.0/checksums.txt), for example, with `wget`:

```bash
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/releases/download/v0.17.0/checksums.txt'
```

Then, verify it using [`cosign`](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign):

```bash
cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --cert 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/releases/download/v0.17.0/checksums.txt.pem' \
  --signature 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/releases/download/v0.17.0/checksums.txt.sig' \
  ./checksums.txt
```

If the output is `Verified OK`, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using `sha256sum`:

```bash
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
```

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
