What's Changed

The main highlights are:

Improved and more configurable font rendering, see neovide_text_contrast and neovide_text_gamma
D3D for smoother rendering on Windows
Fully working smooth scrolling in Windows with borders and highlights
Better stability compared to 0.12.x

Breaking changes

Neovim 0.10.0 is now required
The font size in config.toml is now specified in points instead of pixels, to match the behaviour of guifont and most other software
The macOS option neovide_input_macos_alt_is_meta has been renamed to neovide_input_macos_option_key_is_meta and instead of true/false it can now be set to only_left, only_right, both or none
The font sizes are now slightly different and matches that set in most other programs due to the fractional font support.
The --fork option has been reversed, and --no-fork is now the default. If the old behaviour is desired, you can set the environment variable NEOVIDE_FORK=1
Closing the Window when using remote connections now also exits Neovim. If you want to keep the remote instance running, you can detach using :call chanclose(g:neovide_channel_id)

Known issues

Neovide will hang on some Windows systems. This has turned out to be a very tricky bug to track down, since it only occurs on a few systems. See fix!: Perform a clean exit again #2463 for more information. Any help debugging this is highly appreciated.

I upgraded today and while Neovide was already pretty good, this new version feels even smoother and nicer to use!

Thanks for the hard work ❤️
