Pulsar 1.120 brings enhanced Tree-sitter, new Windows icon, and improved snippet handling

Pulsar, the community-led hyper-hackable code editor developed by the creators of Atom, has released its latest version, 1.120. This update focuses on housekeeping, bug fixes, and significant improvements to Tree-sitter, the incremental parsing system.

Windows users will notice a new icon that enhances visual fidelity across various locations, including the taskbar, installer, window title bar, and explorer context menu. Tree-sitter updates include better indentation for JavaScript and TypeScript, enhanced syntax highlighting for TypeScript, and general improvements to code folding and query file hackability.

Version 1.120 also refines the 'pulsar -p' switch functionality, ensuring arguments and subcommands reach 'ppm' as intended without mistakenly printing Pulsar's version. Additionally, stale dependencies for PPM have been updated or removed. Snippet users will benefit from improved handling of indents and leading whitespace, enhancing overall usability.
