Two months have passed, so this is another big release. A big thank you to all
the contributors and package maintainers!
Helix has popped up in [Arch, Manjaro, Nix, MacPorts and Parabola and Termux repositories](https://repology.org/project/helix/versions)!
A [large scale refactor](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/376) landed that allows us to support zero width (empty)

# 0.2.1
Includes a fix where wq/wqa could exit before file saving completed.

previously the CLI would always report version as 0.1.0, and we'd like
to distinguish it in bug reports..

on cargo run. `~/.config/helix/runtime` can also be used.

query cursors, but always allocated a new one

certain language servers (typescript)
- LSP failing to start no longer panics
