What's new in 2026.8.3

A short release: one thing added, one thing fixed, and nothing to migrate. The changelog is the full record.

Work that waits, handed over whole​

FrameThread.Post takes work that waits. It starts on the drawing thread and every await inside it comes back there, so a piece of work that reads a folder, then writes what it read into a widget, is one thing handed over rather than two:

FrameThread.Post(async () =>
{
    var entries = await Listing.ReadAsync(folder);

    _list.Items = entries;
});

What it throws reaches the frame loop the way a posted action's failure does, before an await or after one. See Waiting without leaving the drawing thread.

The terminal's own answer stays out of the line​

The probe asks the terminal what it can do, and the reply arrives as text through the same input the keyboard uses. A reply that arrived while something was being typed into used to land in the field: [?65;4;6;18;22;52c typed itself into a filter row. The reader now recognizes the answer for what it is and drops it, which is what tells sixel, the color behind the text and the size of a cell apart.
