Log message:
sysutils/broot: update to 1.59.0
- new shell_command verb attribute: run a command through a shell (sh -c / cmd \
/C) so &&, ; and pipes work, without leaving broot - Fix #1145
- fix invalid official Mac binary (duplicate linked dylib) with new build chain \
- Fix #1194
- Sixel graphics support for image preview, auto-detected: works in iterm2, \
Windows Terminal 1.22+ and Sixel-capable Unix terminals (foot, mlterm, xterm \
built
with Sixel, recent WezTerm). Kitty remains the preferred protocol when \
available. Note: this requires broot to be compiled with sixel feature
(eg cargo install broot --features sixel) - Fix #568 - Thanks @jamison-wilde
- High-Res images in Rio terminal (detect it to enable the Kitty image \
protocol) - Fix #1179
- fix content-exact match line number off-by-one when the match starts at the \
first byte of a line (broot jumped to the line above) - Thanks @YuriNachos
- new :no_action internal, doing nothing, which can be used to disable a key - \
Fix #328
- fix: detect a duplicate broot server name instead of silently overtaking the \
running server - Fix #1065 - Thanks @YuriNachos
- fix preview transformers extension matching not working with double \
extensions such as .tar.gz - Fix #1195
- strip escape sequences from displayed names to prevent OSC injections - Fix \
#1188 - Thanks @carfeii
- fall back to numeric uid/gid instead of ???? when the user or group name \
can't be resolved, which is always the case on statically linked musl
builds - Fix #1075
- fix panic on a content regex matching the empty string at the end of a line \
ending with a control char (eg cr/$/ on a CRLF file)
- fix Windows paths (containing backslashes) being mangled by the launcher's \
eval when using :cd and similar; also fixes escaping of paths containing
a single quote - Fix #1100 - Thanks @Cyrus580529
- fix br failing on Windows/PowerShell when the temp path contains a space \
(e.g. a space in the Windows username) - Fix #788 - Thanks @chinhkrb113
- JPEG XL images are no longer previewed: the decoder had out-of-bounds bugs \
and the fix needs a more recent rustc (if you need it, tell me and I'll try
to make it opt-in)
- rustc minimal version changed from 1.83 to 1.85, and edition 2024

entry now applied - Fix #1156

Log message:
sysutils/broot: update to 1.56.1
v1.56.1
- fix a typo in one of the new verbs of the default conf
v1.56.0
- impacted_panel verb argument, allows the effect of a verb to be on another \
panel (eg to scroll the preview panel without removing the focus from the tree) \
- Fix #1119
- focus_panel_left and focus_panel_right internals - Fix #1115
Major Feature: merge staged files to issue a single command
When a verb argument has a space-separated or comma-separated flag, a single \
external command is run even when the selection is multiple.
The default verbs.json file has an example of a zip verb building an archive \
from all staged files: \

Log message:
sysutils/broot: update to 1.54.0
- fix crash on rendering B&W images with Kitty image protocol

negated (eg /js$/&!c/;: it's clear the user wants to match js files not \
containing a semicolon)
