There is no news since version 4? i.e. 4107?

Besides, does anyone experience ST lost all user settings after upgrading to v4107?

@naml3i Yes, I experienced the same thing. I used the automatic updater (in-app popup notifying me there was an update available and clicking download) and after the update, "Poof!", everything was wrecked. I keep a lot of valuable documents/notes open in my current session, some saved, some not, so I was definitely not at all pleased when my session data was completely discarded. Thankfully, I was able to restore everything since I had a backup but it is EXTREMELY poor form on the app author's behalf to do something so reckless. If this was a result of transitioning from Sublime Text 3 to Sublime Text 4, then the app should either not offer the update at all, or it should give a very clear warning that the update is a major version update which is not backwards compatible and that it will discard much, if not all, of your user data. It is almost as if they are just TRYING to push more people into Microsoft's VSCode arms. At least that is my 2-cents...

@lahma0 I've been a big fan of VSCode for years. Way better than ST although it's still not a full-fledge IDE, but it serves as an IDE better than ST. VSCode took the (great) idea of json settings file in ST, but did it better with extensions and constant improvement, and it's free (!) while ST asks 99$ for an alternative to Notepad.
While I can enjoy the changes VSCode after each major update, I don't see that much in ST, what's the major difference between ST3 and ST4? They claim that it offers new "features", but for example a simple feature I still don't see them implement: choosing the language right when we draft. VSCode allows us to choose the language beforehand, no need to save the file with the right extension to have syntax highlighting. This is extremely helpful if we open a blank file and paste a code from somewhere else just to investigate it.

Instead, what did they give us in ST4? A broken setting file, incompatible with ST3; a non-blinking caret by default, with the reason that non blinking caret saves power (?!).

From ST2 to ST3, or at some version of ST3, a lot beautiful themes was also removed (?) Why, ST Headquarter?
