v1.6.0

Release Notes

This release completes the work that was initiated when the --listen flag was added, by implementing its counterpart, --remote.
This allows us to bring skim's scripting capabilities to the next level.

Spawn a listening server: sk --listen
Then, you can send actions to it from a remote client with echo 'up' | sk --remote. This can also be used, for instance, in execute(...) binds to trigger advanced behaviors using shell scripts.

🚀 Features

• Add --remote flag to call remote (--listen) instances (#915)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Make no-sort work again

🧪 Testing

• Remove insta_ prefixes after finalizing tests migration
