# _murex_ Change Log

## What's new in murex v3.1

Breaking Changes:

* None

Features:

* `default` statement added to `switch` (this will deprecate `catch`, albeit `catch` will remain supported for compatibility)

* Option to change start directory: `config: set shell start-directory $path` (where $path is the working directory you wish to start the shell in)

* `onCommandCompletion` event no spawns a pty. This allows capturing of stdout while still presenting a tty to the executing process

* EXPERIMENTAL: preview files. This can be enabled via `config: set shell preview-enabled true`

* EXPERIMENTAL: preview images. This can be enabled via `config: set shell preview-images true`

* EXPERIMENTAL: tty buffer. This can be enabled via `config: set shell tty-buffer-enabled true`

* `ctrl`+`r` has been tweaked to make it more user friendly

* Long overdue SIGWINCH signal handler to reflow after terminal resized

* Lots of improvements to documentation

Non-User Facing / Maintenance Changes

* none

Bug Fixes:

* re-added `columns` data-type to fix `jobs` builtin

* added bang alternatives to the glob exception list

* added missing support for `&&` tokens in expressions

* `![]` can now produce empty maps
