📣 Releasing r33

[joelim-work]

It has been over half a year since r32 was released, and I think it is a good time now to release a new version with all the changes that have happened since then. It appears that @gokcehan hasn't had time recently to oversee the new changes, however as a collaborator I wish to keep the project going so that the wider community can benefit from them.

This is the first time that I am creating such a release, but I believe the steps should be straightforward from the defined workflow:

• Run doc-with-docker.sh and ensure that the generated documentation is up to date.
• Create a new lightweight tag and push it, triggering the release workflow.
• Update the release notes.

I am planning to make the new release in around a couple of weeks. and will be staging a change freeze until that point. If anyone has any queries or concerns, please let me know.

Below are the release notes I am planning to include:

## Changelog

- **(Breaking)** The `globsearch` option, which previously affected both searching and filtering, now affects only searching. A new `globfilter` option is introduced to enable globs when filtering, and acts independently from `globsearch`. (#1650) (by @Catalyn45)
- **(Breaking)** The `hidecursorinactive` option is replaced by the `on-focus-gained` and `on-focus-lost` hook commands. These commands can be used to invoke custom behavior when the terminal gains or loses focus. (#1763) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Breaking)** The `ruler` option (deprecated in favor of `rulerfmt`) is now removed. (#1766) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Breaking)** Line numbers from the `number` and `relativenumber` options are displayed in the main window only, instead of all windows. (#1789) (by @joelim-work)
- **(New)** Support for UNIX domain sockets (for communicating with the `lf` server) is added for Windows. (#1637) (by @Catalyn45)
- **(New)** Color and icon configurations now support the `target` keyword for symbolic links. (#1644) (by @lorentzforces)
- **(New)** A new option `roundbox` is added to use rounded corners when `drawbox` is enabled. (#1653) (by @J-Kappes)
- **(New)** A new option `watch` is added to allow using filesystem notifications to detect and display changes to files. This is an alternative to the `period` option, which polls the filesystem periodically for changes. (#1667) (by @joelim-work)
- **(New)** Icons can now be colored independently of the filename. (#1674) (by @wodesuck)
- **(New)** The `info` option now supports `perm`, `user` and `group` to display the permissions, user and group respectively for each file. (#1799) (by @owallb)
- **(New)** A new option `showbinds` is added to toggle whether the keybinding hints are shown when a keybinding is partially typed. (#1815) (by @dazzywi)
- **(Fix)** Sorting by extension is fixed for hidden files. (#1670) (by @Limero)
- **(Fix)** The `on-quit` hook command is now triggered when the terminal is closed. (#1681) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Fix)** Previews no longer flicker when deleting files. (#1691) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Fix)** Previews no longer flicker when directories are being reloaded. (#1697) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Fix)** `lfcd.nu` now runs properly without raising errors. (#1728) (by @unsafe-andrew)
- **(Fix)** Image previews (composed of ASCII art) containing long lines should now display properly. (#1737) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Fix)** The performance is improved when copying files. (#1749) (by @MahouShoujoMivutilde)
- **(Fix)** `lfcd.cmd` now handles directories with special characters. (#1772) (by @Jaehaks)
- **(Fix)** Icon colors are no longer clipped when displaying in Windows Terminal. (#1777) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Fix)** The file stat info is now cleared when changing to an empty directory. (#1808) (by @joelim-work)
- **(Fix)** Error messages are cleared when opening files. (#1809) (by @joelim-work)

---

In the future, I hope that releases can be made more often - six months is quite a long time to wait for bug fixes and other improvements. However I am also much more busier these days, and have less time than before to dedicate to maintaining lf. However for now I am happy to review pull requests and submit minor patches, although I don't see myself working on any kind of major changes.

Nice to see the new release getting ready! I will switch to master branch, add some new configs, and let you know if I encounter any issues between freeze and release.

Testing config diff. Let me know if some other things could be added

set drawbox true
set roundbox true
set relativenumber true
set showbinds false

# using icons_colored.example
set icons true

# hook command which is invoked when the terminal gains focus
cmd on-focus-gained :{{
	set cursorparentfmt "\033[7m"
	set cursoractivefmt "\033[7m"
	set cursorpreviewfmt "\033[4m"
}}

# hook command which is invoked when the terminal loses focus
cmd on-focus-lost :{{
	set cursorparentfmt "\033[7;2m"
	set cursoractivefmt "\033[7;2m"
	set cursorpreviewfmt "\033[4;2m"
}}

on-focus-gained

cmd on-quit &{{
	notify-send "Lf quit"
}}

Your new config looks fine.

For me the most complex and risky change is adding watch in #1667 - during development I tried a number of different approaches and encountered many bugs, but now it is working smoothly for me. I have been using it for a few months already, but you are welcome to try it out as well. Anyway watch is disabled by default, so users shouldn't encounter any issues relating to this unless they specifically opt-in to it.

I've now added set watch true as well just in case
