This week's release includes most of December's quality week items and is packed!
Highlights include subpixel (ClearType-style) text rendering on Windows and Linux to improve text clarity on standard DPI displays, the ability to favorite/pin Agent models, cycle them via alt-tab, and queue messages in the agent panel, a git: create pull request command, UI controls to restart/stop individual language servers, a which-key-like modal (enable with {"which_key": {"enabled": true}}), improved Markdown list editing via extend_list_on_newline and indent_list_on_tab, many performance boosts — and much much more!
