Full Release Notes

- The default separator on the info line is no longer shown when the input section is already visually separated from the list section by a border line
  ```sh
  # No separator shown below the header border
  fzf --style full --input-border none --header foo

  # Separator shown; no border separates the input section from the list section
  fzf --style full --input-border none --header foo --no-header-border

  # No separator below the border of the preview window at 'next' position
  fzf --preview : --preview-window next

  # Conversely, separator is now shown when the input border does not draw
  # a line facing the list section
  fzf --input-border bottom
  ```
