Pulsar 1.132 adds new terminal package, improved Git branch switching & large file setting

Pulsar 1.132 arrives as the latest update of this community-led code editor forked from Atom, introducing several features aimed at improving the daily workflows of its users. The release includes a new core terminal package, which integrates command-line functionality directly within the editor for streamlined development and testing.

Alongside the terminal, an experimental core.promptOnConflict setting now warns users attempting to save edits that would conflict with changes made on disk, addressing a common issue encountered when switching Git branches. The addition of the editor.largeFileThreshold setting is designed to help those who routinely work with very large files, giving users greater control over performance management during editing sessions.

Following these enhancements, Pulsar 1.132 includes quality-of-life improvements for contributors and package developers, better window management when opening projects from the command line, and new configuration options for the autocomplete-plus feature. The update also delivers a series of improvements to syntax highlighting, enhancing code clarity. Finally, the software’s underlying technology stack has been refreshed with Electron version 30.5.1 and Node.js 20.16.0, supporting improved compatibility and future updates.
