This release includes three major features that have each been in the work for quite a while, and have all been very widely requested.

1. Sixel support* - Zellij now supports Sixel graphics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel) for displaying images and video in the terminal.
2. Search mode - You can now search through the pane scrollback. We renamed "Scroll mode" to "Search mode" and it now includes all the old capabilities as well as the new search feature.
3. The status-bar keybindings now update according to your config

Since we updated the keybindings (for the search mode) please note that if you have a custom configuration that defined keybindings (eg. one you created with zellij setup --dump-config), you'll probably need to update it. You can do that with zellij setup --dump-config > ~/.config/zellij/config.yaml (for more information on the configuration and its location - please check out: https://zellij.dev/documentation/configuration.html)

*Note that you'll need a supported terminal to take advantage of this feature. There's a nice list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/t3m7zm/quick_roundup_of_bitmap_graphics_availability_in/
