AI Summary

This release focuses on performance optimizations for non-ASCII input and fixes several terminal compatibility issues, including bracketed paste mode and startup blocking on specific terminals like FreeBSD.

Key Highlights

  • Non-ASCII input performance optimized (up to 16x faster for ASCII, 12x for non-ASCII).
  • Fixed image preview tearing when rows are separated by IND in tmux.
  • Resolved `replace-query` corruption when editing queries.
  • Fixed startup blocking on terminals that don't respond to escape sequences.

New Features

  • Performance optimizations for non-ASCII input
  • Bracketed paste mode fix
  • Startup blocking fix

Full Release Notes

- Performance optimizations for non-ASCII input
    - ASCII queries are up to 16x faster
    - Non-ASCII queries are up to 12x faster
    - Reading accented Latin input is up to 37% faster
    - Reading CJK input reduces memory use by up to 29%
    - ASCII input is unaffected
- Fixed an image from a preview command being torn apart when its rows are separated by IND instead of newlines, as `chafa` does under tmux (#4885)
- Fixed `replace-query` corrupting the item text when the query is edited afterwards
- fzf no longer turns bracketed paste mode off on exit when the terminal already had it on, which broke pasting in shells that run fzf from a line editor widget (#4887)
- Fixed startup blocking on terminals that never answer escape sequences, such as FreeBSD virtual terminals. fzf waited for a reply until a key was pressed, then dropped that keystroke (#2860, #976)
