Rune 1.3 is out: adds TypeScript support, a Helix editor, Kitty graphics and OSC-7501

Author here! I'm very excited to announce that we just released v1.3. Rune is an IDE and terminal multiplexer that we just open sourced a few months ago.

In this release, we also fixed many usability issues, particularly on Linux. If your OS reserves many Super/Windows key combinations, you can now use <alt> as your <meta> modifier. For non-US keyboard layouts, you can reserve the right Alt key for entering special characters and keep the left Alt key for Rune key bindings.

Some of the highlights:

- A new graphics pipeline powered by ebiten.
- Typescript is now a tier 1 language (beta)
- A new helix editor
- Headless mode and a new docker image to run Rune in headless mode
- OSC-7501 implementation and new API in the SDK for extensions and plugins through runectl
- Workspace session restoration
- A billion other things

This release has been 2 months in the making so it's a bit bigger than we originally intended.

Thanks to all the contributions from the community!
