Released kl v0.5.0 today - some major performance improvements and bug fixes github.com/robinovitch6...

In kl (github.com/robinovitch6...), color is set per container name, but prefix colors differentiate the same container name across different ReplicaSets.

Here, `flask-1` is always red, but the identifying prefixes (fl..7m, fl..jh, and fl..ft) are unique 🎨

Bubbletea v2 does not suffer from screen flicker at all it seems! Big improvement. OTOH, I'm noticing that key presses buffer more than previously, so holding "down" for a while when each down press triggers an expensive re-render then releasing doesn't stop immediately. Good trade IMO

Things I'm learning upgrading kl github.com/robinovitch6... to bubbletea v2 alpha:

- ansi \x1b[0m is the same as \x1b[m
- tmux added terminal color query support in 3.4 github.com/tmux/tmux/bl...
- unit tests are a god send for upgrades (s/o the 4.5k LOC here github.com/robinovitch6...)

I'm upgrading dependencies to use bubbletea v2, which is currently in alpha, but has a bunch of cool new features: github.com/charmbracele...

I'm working on a kubernetes log viewer in your terminal called kl. It's super fun and I just did a big release that I'm excited about.

I'll be posting progress updates here!
