What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- **fixed** — Keypresses happening before a prompt is rendered are now ignored
- **fixed** — Checkbox elements that are both checked and disabled are now always included in the returned array
- **added** — Cursor will now hover disabled options of the list while still preventing interaction with them
- **added** — Various new theme options to make all prompts content localizable

- Fix: Keypresses happening before a prompt is rendered are now ignored.
- Fix (checkbox): Element who're both checked and disabled are now always included in the returned array.
- Feat (select/checkbox): Cursor will now hover disabled options of the list; but they still cannot be interacted with. This prevents the cursor jumping ahead in ways that can be confusing.
- Feat: various new theme options to make all prompts content localizable.
