v0.1.1

It's been quite a while since the last release and not everything went as planned because I couldn't put the time into telescope that I wanted to put into it.
Neovim 0.8 released and broke a couple of things in telescope that still need to be resolved, but a 0.1.1 feels necessary at this point because it resolves some big issues.
I will most likely release another version soon that fixes some of these major issues.

The biggest new thing that made it into this release is that we now have a github workflow that automatically pushes to luarocks thanks to @mrcjkb and @teto, so going forward you can use luarocks to install telescope.nvim and plenary.nvim

telescope.nvim 0.1.0

telescope.nvim 0.1.0

Today we are finally releasing telescope 0.1.0, our first stable release, it only
took us 2 years, almost 250 contributors and over 2000 issues and PRs.

With this release we also introduce a new release branch 0.1.x which will get
constant fixes, performances improvements and new features without breaking
backwards compatibility, so we kindly ask you to switch to either the fixed
0.1.0 tag or this release branch. This allows us to treat the main branch as an
actual development branch where we can introduce breaking changes more easily.

Telescope 0.1.0 is compatible with neovim 0.7.0 and newer and we will not raise
the minimum required version for the lifecycle of the 0.1.x branch.

Features

Telescope is a fuzzy finder written in lua that provides a simple interface
that allows everyone to write their own fuzzy pickers.

• Wide range of builtin functionallity (files, git, lsp, vim internals)
• Flexible UI
  • Different themes (dropdown, cursor, ivy)
  • Write your own theme
• Previewers using treesitter
  • Can be toggled
  • Have multiple previewers and cycle though them
• Resume previous searches
• History to cycle through previous search inputs
• Replaceable backend interfaces
  • Allows you to swap out backend functionality for our own implementations
    Example: sorters and github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim

Future Outlook

After this release, we spoke about redesigning the fuzzy engine and move it to
a compiled language like rust to improve performance. The core engine part can
then be used in "frontend clients" like a neovim plugin or even a cli tool.
