What the release notes say

A couple QoL goodies

We're releasing a few Quality of Life :tm: enhacements for you. They're simple, but these simple improvements compound with time to make Crush better and better.

Hint on quitting Crush

When quitting Crush, you'll see a splash screen with a hind on how to quickly continue from the session you left.

Bash tool syntax highlighting

When displaying what Crush is running using the Bash tool, the shell command will now have syntax highlighting. It's a small addition, but definitely improves legibility.

Moo :cow:

ctrl+end to jump to bottom + follow

If you want to quickly jump to the bottom of the chat, you can now just press <kbd>ctrl+end</kbd>. This will also ensure Crush will follow the chat as new messages arrive.

MCP improvements

We enhanced things to make it more stable and fix a couple of edge-case bugs.

That's all for today. See you in the next release! Charm 💌

<details> <summary>Verifying the artifacts</summary>

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.89.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.89.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
