    v0.1.9 - Material Light Theme & UI Improvements

    This release introduces the new material-light theme, fixes several UI and theme-related bugs,
    and significantly improves the in-app help documentation.

    ✨ New Features

    • Material Light Theme: A new built-in theme, material-light, has been added, providing a
      clean and readable light-mode experience based on Material Design colors.

    🐛 Fixes & Improvements

    • Improved Light Theme Readability: Fixed a major bug where default text colors were not
      being applied correctly, causing unreadable light gray text on light backgrounds. All UI
      components now correctly inherit colors from the theme.
    • Theme Color Correction: The color palettes for gruvbox, rose-pine, and monokai have been
      updated to more accurately reflect their official specifications.
    • Visual Selection Fix: The visual selection mode now correctly colors unselected portions of
      text, preventing them from becoming invisible in light themes.
    • Code Cleanup: Removed unused code, which resolved a compiler warning.

    📚 Documentation

    • Comprehensive Help Update: The in-app help menu (:help) has been significantly expanded:
      • A new Browsers tab was added to document keybindings for the model, theme, and session
        browsers.
      • Missing commands like :theme, :themes, and :reload are now included.
      • Additional keybindings for editing (Ctrl+r for redo) and visual mode (Delete for cut)
        have been added.
    • README Update: The project's README.md has been updated to reflect the new theme and
      keybindings.
