Atom 1.23
Atom 1.23 is now available on the stable channel and includes a new feature for packages to register URI handlers, the ability to register hidden commands, as well as editor performance improvements. Atom packages can track every text change that occurs in a particular text buffer using the TextBuffer.onDidChange method.
Other Changes:
- URI Handling – Atom packages can now register a URI handler function that will be invoked any time the user visits a URI that starts with atom://package-name/.
- CommandRegistry improvements – When registering commands via atom.commands.add, you now have the option to hide specific commands in the command palette.
- Improved compatibility with external Git tools – The GitHub package no longer locks the index, making it easier to use the CLI or other Git tools with Atom open in the background.
