After three months of development, I'm excited to announce the release of Yazi 0.3 today! This version brings a host of new features and bug fixes. Thank you to every contributor for making Yazi better and better!

This is a breaking change release, so please make sure to read:

Mouse support

The plugin system now includes five new APIs for each component - click, scroll, touch, move, and drag to handle mouse events. These APIs come with default implementations to cover common operations.

This also allows plugin developers to extend mouse behavior and create any functionality they desire.

See #1038 for more info, thanks to @qsdrqs for his work on this!

New builtin extract plugin

#1321 adds a builtin extract plugin for decompressing archives, with these features:

  1. Interactive password input.
  2. Smart output directory selection with auto renaming.
  3. Supports decompressing multiple files at once.
  4. Fully async, decompression tasks can queue up and run in the background.

Enhanced file preview

Yazi 0.3 now supports the following new format to preview:

  • Fonts
  • SVGs
  • HEIC files
  • JPEG XL files

This feature requires the optional dependency ImageMagick to enable it.

Package manager

Yazi 0.3 introduces the new ya pack subcommand for package management, making plugin and theme updates more convenient. This is especially important as the plugin system is not yet stable, so providing users with the ability to easily keep everything up to date is necessary.

Add a new one to package.toml, then install it:

ya pack -a Reledia/glow

# If it's a sub-directory under the repository
ya pack -a yazi-rs/flavors#catppuccin-mocha

Install all packages configured in package.toml:

ya pack -i

Upgrade all packages in package.toml to the latest commit:

ya pack -u

See #985 for details.

Redesigned Icons

#1086 redesigns the icons, bringing the following improvements:

  • Improved Matching Performance: The new dirs, files, and exts compile the icon rules into a HashMap at startup. This allows most icon matches to be completed with O(1) complexity, significantly enhancing performance.
  • Built-in nvim-web-devicons: This includes a richer and ready-to-use set of icons out of the box.
  • Enhanced Icon Styling: Each icon now supports specifying both dark and light colors (currently only fg_dark is used). In the future, the terminal color will automatically choose the appropriate color. This was added as part of #988.
  • Enhanced is Function: The original is functionality has been reimplemented as conds to allow more complex conditional expressions, such as cond = "!dir & exec".

Significant archive preview performance improvements

#1220 reimplements archive previewing to be streamed. This means only a small amount of necessary data needs to be read to display the preview immediately, rather than waiting for all the data to be returned and parsed as before.

Additionally, by replacing lsar with 7zip, the preview speed has been further improved. The new implementation also introduces two new features: icon display and file size display.

Other improvements

These are a few of my favorite features. For a complete list of improvements in Yazi 0.3, check out the full changelog below.
