Atom 1.13 Changes & New features

  • Atom Benchmarks – In our continuous mission to improve Atom’s performance, 1.13 introduces benchmarks to better quantify improvements or :scream: regressions.
  • Reopen Project – Want to get Atom back to a previous state without figuring out the command line incantation? There’s now a Reopen Project menu item, palette command, and API.
  • New Octicons – A new version of the Octicons is now bundled in Atom with improvements to line-weight and sizing normalization. In addition 20 new icons are available.
  • Keystroke Resolver API – To help address the long tail of unusual international keyboard behaviors as interpreted by Chrome, particularly on Linux, Atom 1.13 includes a custom keystroke resolver API allowing users to assign Chrome keyboard events to Atom-style keystrokes.
