 See https://atom.io/releases
-
-## 1.4.0
-
-* Switching encoding is now fast also with large files.
-* Fixed an issue where disabling and re-enabling a package caused custom keymaps to be overridden.
-* Fixed restoring untitled editors on restart. The new behavior never prompts to save new/changed files when closing a window or quitting Atom.
-
-## 1.3.0
-
-* The tree-view now sorts directory entries more naturally, in a locale-sensitive way.
-* Lines can now be moved up and down with multiple cursors.
-* Improved the performance of marker-dependent code paths such as spell-check and find and replace.
-* Fixed copying and pasting in native input fields.
-* By default, windows with no pane items are now closed via the `core:close` command. The previous behavior can be restored via the `Close Empty Windows` option in settings.
-* Fixed an issue where characters were inserted when toggling the settings view on some keyboard layouts.
-* Modules can now temporarily override `Error.prepareStackTrace`. There is also an `Error.prototype.getRawStack()` method if you just need access to the raw v8 trace structure.
-* Fixed a problem that caused blurry fonts on monitors that have a slightly higher resolution than 96 DPI.
