The Helix 24.03 release has landed with a whopping 125 contributors making it happen. This version introduces Amp-like jumping for efficient selection movement, block comment toggling, and tree-sitter injection improvements. The latter allows parsing of multiple languages within a single document, enhancing syntax tree visualization and navigation. Internally, a new event system using Tokio channels debounces tasks to prevent UI lockup. Additionally, the regex crate has been replaced with regex-cursor, boosting efficiency by operating on document chunks instead of duplicating memory. Stay tuned for more updates and join the discussion in the Matrix space or GitHub repository.
