What's new in this version:

- Electron has been upgraded to version 2.0
- Atom now automatically honors your operating system's color profile. You can use the new Color Profile setting to customize this behavior
- Active editors are now updated when experimental Tree-sitter grammars are toggled in settings
- Shell environment variables are now carried into Atom when launched from PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt
- The Find in Project results view now groups adjacent matches and highlights multiple matches on the same line
- Commit message preprocessing has been substantially revisited, preserving newlines in amended commits, preserving # comments in commits composed within the mini editor, and respecting your commit.cleanup configuration when committing from an expanded editor
- "Large" file patches are identified by byte count, not line count, of the patch body. This prevents performance hiccups when navigating past files with large diffs in a relatively small number of lines
- Avatars are now supported for users who are using the newer-style anonymized email addresses
- Modal dialogs can now be cancelled properly by pressing esc on Window
- The language-html package now supports GraphQL script tags and multi-line style attributes
- CriticMarkup syntax is now colored correctly in Markdown files
- Fixed an issue where files in a Git repo might be locked or corrupted
- The placeholder glyph that appears when reordering tabs is now much more responsive
- Fixed an issue where dashes were being prefixed with backslashes in non-regex searches
