Full Release Notes
_Release highlights: https://junegunn.github.io/fzf/releases/0.63.0/_

- Added footer. The default border style for footer is `line`, which draws a single separator line.
```sh
fzf --reverse --footer "fzf: friend zone forever"
```
- Options
- `--footer[=STRING]`
- `--footer-border[=STYLE]`
- `--footer-label=LABEL`
- `--footer-label-pos=COL[:bottom]`
- Colors
- `footer`
- `footer-bg`
- `footer-border`
- `footer-label`
- Actions
- `change-footer`
- `transform-footer`
- `bg-transform-footer`
- `change-footer-label`
- `transform-footer-label`
- `bg-transform-footer-label`
- `line` border style is now allowed for all types of border except for `--list-border`.
```sh
fzf --height 50% --style full:line --preview 'cat {}' \
--bind 'focus:bg-transform-header(file {})+bg-transform-footer(wc {})'
```
- Added `{*}` placeholder flag that evaluates to all matched items.
```bash
seq 10000 | fzf --preview "awk '{sum += \$1} END {print sum}' {*f}"
```
- Use this with caution, as it can make fzf sluggish for large lists.
- Added asynchronous transform actions with `bg-` prefix that run asynchronously in the background, along with `bg-cancel` action to cancel currently running `bg-transform` actions.
```sh
# Implement popup that disappears after 1 second
# * Use footer as the popup
# * Use `bell` to ring the terminal bell
# * Use `bg-transform-footer` to clear the footer after 1 second
# * Use `bg-cancel` to cancel currently running background transform actions
fzf --multi --list-border \
--bind 'enter:execute-silent(echo -n {+} | pbcopy)+bell' \
--bind 'enter:+transform-footer(echo Copied {} to clipboard)' \
--bind 'enter:+bg-cancel+bg-transform-footer(sleep 1)'
# It's okay for the commands to take a little while because they run in the background

echo -e "\x1b[48;5;${i}m\x1b[0Khello"
