Release notes
This release delivers something that we hope will make most users’ lives easier, whether they’re veteran Pulsar users or brand-new users giving us a try: a [new core terminal package](/posts/20260510-savetheclocktower-terminal-package/)! Also on offer: a new experimental setting that we think will improve the experience of switching Git branches. When enabled, core.promptOnConflict will recognize when you’ve made edits against a file whose contents changed on disk _after_ you started making the edits, and will warn you when you try to save your edits! This is one step toward improving the experience of users who often switch branches in version control. We’ve also added a setting that might make life easier for those who routinely edit large files, quality-of-life improvements for Pulsar contributors and package authors, better window management when opening projects from the command line, new configurable behavior for autocomplete-plus, and a handful of improvements to syntax highlighting. As always, a huge thank you to our community, contributors, and donations. Happy coding, and see you amongst the stars! - The Pulsar Team --- ## 1.132.0 - New terminal package! - New editor.largeFileThreshold setting that allows the user to configure the file-size threshold of the “large file mode” present in TextMate-style grammars. - New experimental setting: core.promptOnConflict. When enabled, Pulsar will ask for confirmation if you try to save an item while it’s in a “conflicted”…

Release notes
This is a quick release in order to fix a regression introduced in one of the bug fixes included in the 1.132.2 release. Four patch releases under 1.131 is plenty, as far as we're concerned! We hope to get back to working on the next regular release and the slew of new features we've got planned. See you then! > Reminder for .rpm users: (There is an issue with the postuninstall scriptlet from the Pulsar 1.131.0 and 1.131.1 .rpms, causing the unintended removal of pulsar and ppm from /usr/bin/, specifically during upgrade installs. See #1482 for details.) > > For pulsar and ppm to remain on your PATH, please uninstall any copy of the Pulsar 1.131.0 or 1.131.1 .rpm before installing this release's .rpm, or alternatively you can dnf install and then dnf reinstall this release's updated .rpm. Furthermore, installing any two patched .rpms, such 1.131.2 and this one, would also flush out the old scriptlet and resolve the issue. > > Otherwise the old postuninstall scriptlet will run, removing pulsar and ppm from /usr/bin/ and thus from your PATH. This release has an updated postuninstall scriptlet with the fix, so this is a one-time workaround. 1.131.3 - [settings-view] Fix regression with rendering badges on package search results. - Fix failure to include localization files in the built application. Pulsar - [build] Ensure locales dir is included when building Pulsar @confused-Techie - [settings-view] Don't try to attach a listener if the ref doesn't exist @savetheclocktower

Hello again, everyone! This release has a focus on bug fixes since our big Electron 30 upgrade! We've been busy addressing the issues our community has found since the release of v1.131.0. Thanks to @asiloisad, we've got a new way to add multiple roots to a project at once via atom.project.addPaths.

Release notes
Hello, and welcome, one and all! This release brings the long-awaited (and long-previewed in our Rolling releases) upgrade to Electron 30 to our stable "Regular" releases! Catching up, at least somewhat, with the rapid pace of new Electron versions is a goal we've been actively working on since we started Pulsar almost 4 years ago. We're happy to make one of the larger steps in that direction since we began with this release (from Electron 12 to Electron 30.) We recognize that Electron 30 is still not the latest Electron version, but it took a tremendous amount of work to get here, and we are still working diligently on further upgrades. On a more business-as-usual note, we also have several language/grammar improvements, various bugfixes and miscellaneous improvements. Please see the full changelog below for details. We're very excited for this milestone, and please do let us know if anything needs fixing -- this was a huge undertaking under the hood! (Did we mention the accompanying blog post?: https://blog.pulsar-edit.dev/posts/20251202-savetheclocktower-pulsar-on-electron-30/) As always, a huge thank you to our community, contributors, and donations. Happy coding, and see you amongst the stars! - The Pulsar Team --- ## 1.131.0 Because this is such a huge upgrade to Pulsar, some of your community packages may be affected! If you handle distributions for Pulsar as a community maintainer make sure to read this changelog carefully to make things compatible! For more…

Release notes
Hotfix: Restore Windows app to working condition, after it was mis-built in v1.130.0. Description of the issue affecting v1.130.0 on Windows: The Windows version of the app was broken, due to its native C/C++ dependencies remaining built for NodeJS when electron-rebuild failed, and due to our CI being mistakenly configured in a way that hid the failure. Electron-rebuild failed in CI due to a missing Windows 10 SDK. Resolution: We have worked around the missing Windows 10 SDK issue in CI by installing it manually, and also updated our CI workflow so that a failure of electron-rebuild would be more likely to be caught. Note: Binaries for macOS and Linux are also provided to make it simple to find the latest binaries for all platforms attached to one GitHub Release. Other than coming from a new CI run with a new patch version bump, there should be no other changes from v1.130.0 on macOS or Linux.

# Pulsar 1.130.0: Spooktacular Edition Welcome to another Spooktacular Pulsar release! To welcome in the Autumn, we'd like to shout out some updates to our website! The long awaited revamp of our web presence not only massively improves and updates our documentation, it also unifies our web design. There are new subdomains for each service, and we've put our hugely improved documentation live (which you may have seen during its beta period). It's now more in-depth and updated, and it's finally got auto-updating API docs for Pulsar, which we have been missing since the beginning. As for the Pulsar editor itself, we've got some updated Tree-sitter and language support, as well as autocomplete-css and autocomplete-plus updates and improvements, a focus fix for tree-view on Windows, a fix so that find-in-project searches properly exclude open-and-modified files that don't match the given path filter, and a change to `snippets` to restore legacy compatibility with the `emmet` package. A new "I18n" API (short for "internationalization") allows Pulsar and even community packages to localize all their text to a user's preferred language. It's in its very early stages, but after some more time and work you should be able to set your preferred language and have Pulsar respect it. As always, a huge thank you to our community, contributors, and donations. Happy coding, and see you amongst the stars! - The Pulsar Team --- ## 1.130.0 - `autocomplete-plus` can now make other text edits to…

We've gone back on our last update's decision to add source comment to the spell-check.grammar setting by default, as it had a greater performance impact than anticipated. This does mean that by default comments in code are no longer spell-checked — but if you liked the feature, you can add that setting back in! Just re-add source comment to the list of scopes under "Settings > Packages > spell-check > Grammars." We've also restored an internal API that was changed a while back, after we learned the change affected the project-plus community package. We have our usual improvements to the Tree-sitter grammars — such as language-css's parser being updated to the latest, and language-python getting improved indentation hinting for some unusual code constructs. We've fixed an issue that would cause pulsar and ppm to be removed from the user's PATH on Windows during an upgrade, to ensure the choices you select during installation are respected. We've also engaged in some maintenance and updates to our CI operations, to ensure we can keep things working on all of our supported platforms. As always, a huge thank you to our community, contributors, and donations. Happy coding, and see you amongst the stars! - The Pulsar Team - The Windows installer no longer removes pulsar and ppm from your path when you update Pulsar to a newer version. - [spell-check]…

Release notes
A Valentine's release bursting with love, Pulsar 1.114.0 is available now! Welcome to a brand new Pulsar release! I think it is safe to say that this month has been one of our more eventful due to the switchover we made to the new Tree-sitter implementation. This release features a lot of updates and fixes for this new implementation, thanks to all the feedback we got from the community. We also have a number of other bug fixes and new features to introduce, such as restoring compatibility with older Linux distributions, and a new flag for an old favorite ppm command.As mentioned above, we have quite a few changes relating to our new Tree-sitter implementation that we made default in Pulsar 1.113.0. First of all, we have some fixes and updates to make sure the new implementation isn't a regression from the legacy implementation. One such update is restoring support for the semanticolor package, which was supported by the previous implementation. Otherwise, if you had any particular issue with syntax highlighting, then we hope it has now been resolved, as a lot of changes and fixes have been made in response to community feedback. If not, then please visit our ongoing "Mega-issues" and see if your issue has been raised, and if not, please raise it there.Back in Pulsar 1.111.0, we created a new UI api to make an easy and universal way for packages to interact with Pulsar. This implementation did contain a couple of small oversights, which have now been resolved. One issue…

Pulsar FAQ
Is Pulsar safe to download from here?
We host no installers. Every download button goes to the download location named in the package listing, and the checks below were run on those files.
On 2026-11-06 we downloaded the latest 3 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 3 of 3 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 0 valid, 3 not signed.
VirusTotal: none of its 50 security engines flagged any of the 3 scanned files.
Reports exist for 3 of 4 files, so the rating does not cover the rest.
Our rating: Safe so far. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Pulsar’s official website.
Does Pulsar update itself after I install an old version?
For Windows, we have no information on whether Pulsar updates itself, and for Mac, we have no confirmation that the app updates itself, although many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in Pulsar (see Pulsar’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.
Does Pulsar cost anything?
No. Pulsar is free and open source (license: MIT License).
Which versions of Pulsar are listed here, and how far back?
For Windows, we list 18 versions, from 1.105.0 (2023-05-16) up to 1.133.1, and for Mac, only the current release (1.133.1) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing, and for Linux, we list 1 version, from 1.133.1 (2026-11-01) up to 1.133.1. This page shows all of the Windows versions.
Where do the download links go?
They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com, and for Linux, to dl.flathub.org. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Pulsar’s official website.
