Zellij v0.46.0 Released

Zellij is a terminal workspace and multiplexer written in Rust, a more discoverable alternative to tmux or screen.

Zellij v0.46.0 is a big release: Zellij is now also a desktop terminal. Start it with zellij terminal on Linux, macOS and Windows. The classic multiplexer still works inside any other terminal, and both modes share the same sessions. Note that the musl builds do not include the desktop terminal - use the GNU builds for it.

Other highlights:

Inbox with cross-session activity notifications
Right-click menu, interactive configuration, popups and notifications
Reorder tabs with the mouse, configurable mouse bindings
Ctrl-mouse-drag creates a floating pane
Horizontal stacks
Hide tab-bar and status-bar at runtime
Faster output and scrolling
Many fixes for Windows, kitty images, CJK characters and resurrection layouts

Plugin developers should note the breaking changes: NestedListItem::new now requires a Text, and Text::new is replaced by Text::from.

Full changelog is available on the GitHub release page and in the CHANGELOG.

Happy hacking! :-)
