micro-editor/micro

This system is a terminal-based text editor that has been significantly refactored from a legacy implementation to a modular architecture. It provides core editing capabilities including multi-cursor support, split-pane layouts, and an autocomplete system. The editor features a robust plugin ecosystem with built-in support for syntax highlighting, linting, and status line customization. Additionally, it includes a package manager for third-party plugins, a Lua scripting environment, and automated build tooling for cross-platform releases.

This period focused on modernizing the editor's architecture by embedding runtime assets and removing legacy code, while significantly expanding functionality through new plugins like linter and autoclose. The release process was also automated with new build tooling, and the editor's capabilities were broadened with extensive syntax highlighting and color scheme support.
