LightTable 0.8.1 changelog

•     CHANGED: [:app :lt.objs.settings/pair-keymap-diffs] behavior is being deprecated. Use [:editor :lt.objs.editor/autoclose-brackets] in your user.behaviors instead. lt.objs.editor/autoclose-brackets should fix autoclosing characters e.g. ‘[{” for international users.
•     CHANGED: Backspace key uses the same CodeMirror plugin that lt.objs.editor/autoclose-brackets does
•     CHANGED: lt.util.cljs/js->clj is being deprecated. Plugin authors can use the js->clj that comes with ClojureScript
•     CHANGED: Removed unused lt.objs.titlebar ns and lt.objs.titlebar/add-titlebar behavior
•     CHANGED: Removed unused styling in structure.css
•     CHANGED: Removed harbor and jshint node packages that belong to other LightTable plugins
•     CHANGED: Removed :hide-connect command which is the same as :show-connect
•     CHANGED: Removed light skin which was just a confusing pointer to dark skin
•     CHANGED: files/open-sync logs an error when trying to open a nonexistent file. Previously the error was ignored
•     CHANGED: Check for updates every hour instead of every 5 minutes
•     FIX: Git (vcs) friendly! Changing branches and doing rebases doesn’t cause buggy dialogs. If a file is removed, the tab is closed. If a file has a local modification, the user decides whether to overwrite the current file or not

•     FIX: Save and remove trailing whitespace behavior refreshes tab
•     FIX: Navigator no longer cuts off end of files i.e. can scroll horizontally
