Most notable changes include:

  • support for sam's structural regular expression based command language

  • various bug fixes related to multiple cursor/selection support. New
    functionality to navigate among cursors (<C-u>, <C-d>), align
    (<Tab>, <S-Tab>), rotate (+, -), trim (\) or drop
    (<C-c>, <C-l>) selections.

  • improved Lua API, featuring a new event subscription mechanism and the
    possibility to define custom operators, motions, text-objects, :set
    options and more. Notice however that at this point no API stability
    guarantee is provided.
