[Ranger-users] Ranger 1.7.0 is out now!

[hut]

I am pleased to announce the release of ranger verison 1.7.0!  It
contains a bunch of bugfixes and new features, all of which were
previously on the master branch in git for you to try out.

There is also an emacs-like version of the release: (yes, really!)

Here are some reactions to the release:

"Nice"
    -- Anonymous

"It's good, I guess"
    -- Anonymous

"What?"
    -- Anonymous

And the change log:

* The default editor is now "vim" instead of "nano" [unless you use the
  emacs branch where the default editor is, of course, "emacs"]
* Added automatic updates of tags when a file is renamed from within ranger
* Added "preview_images_method" which can be set to "iterm2" to use native
  iTerm2 image previews
* Added ":rename_append" command to rename files without the file extension
* Added ":linemode" command to change the way the files are displayed
  Try this out by pressing M followed by one of the suggested keys.
  New linemodes can be added with ranger.api.register_linemode().
* Added ":filter_by_inode" command to only show directories, files or links
* Added ":meta" command for managing custom file metadata
* Added ":flat" command for displaying subdirectories
* Added "solarized" colorscheme
* Added generic ability to use scope.sh for image previews
* Added video previews in scope.sh
* Added option "sort_unicode" to sort according to unicode, not ASCII
* ":mkdir" can now create multiple directory levels (like `mkdir -p`)
* ":help" (key binding "?") is now interactive
* ":find" (key binding "/") is now case insensitive by default
* "ranger --copy-config=all" now copies a short sample commands.py rather than
  the full one, so that you can update ranger without having broken commands.
  The full commands.py is still copied to ~/.config/ranger/commands_full.py.
* Fixed broken copying of symlinks
