v0.2.5
This version introduces a new DDS (Data Distribution Service) aimed at facilitating communication and state synchronization between multiple Yazi instances, as well as state persistence.
It's built on a client/server architecture (without the need for running additional server processes), and deeply integrates with a Lua-based publish-subscribe model.
It also provides a set of new command-line options for interaction, such as ya pub
, ya pub-static
, yazi --local-events
, yazi --remote-events
, and currently used for:
-
dds-session.mp4
-
Change Yazi's
CWD
toPWD
on subshell exitdds-cd.mp4
-
Integration with the new
yazi.nvim
plugin: subscribing to file deletion, movement, and renaming events throughyazi --local-events
to keep Neovim's buffer/LSP in sync -
bookmarks.yazi
plugin: Saving bookmarks added by the user through the persistence feature provided by DDS
Performance optimizations
- Reduced CPU overhead during icon matching: Icon matching accounted for 35.6% of CPU time during rendering, and by changing the matching algorithm, this proportion has been reduced by ~10%
- Caching of each matched icon to avoid repeated calculations: By caching icons, further reductions in CPU usage for matching are achieved, as only a few new files that appear when scrolling through panes need to be matched
- Re-implemented the file watcher in an async way: This is the only sync I/O operation besides configuration initialization at startup, which occurs during
cd
and scrolling through the file list. For certain slow external devices, Yazi would experience noticeable lagginess, which has now been addressed, see #877 for more details
Feature enhancements
- Re-implemented
fzf
andzoxide
as plugins for better flexibility:fzf
andzoxide
have added more runtime error handling.zoxide
now supports the newupdate_db
feature, which automatically adds Yazi'sCWD
tozoxide
when navigating. To enable it, add the following to yourinit.lua
:require("zoxide"):setup { update_db = true, }
- Maintain the original modification time when copying files
- Support smart case for
cd
path completion - Add placeholder messages when there are no files in the directory
- Preserve the order of file selection when performing
open
,shell
, or bulk rename on multiple selected files - Prevent copying a directory to itself
The plugin system has also seen some improvements:
ya.dbg()
andya.err()
now support printing any type of data- New
ps
API as a carrier for DDS interaction ya.manager_emit()
now supports passingUrl
type
