v2.11

This release mainly focuses on refinements in performance and usability, rather than introducing new features

File index caching for faster completions (eg on mechanical drives). This happens upon shell start up (except on Darwin for security reasons) and after every cd
Relaxed alias syntax. It now supports whitespace between the = statement (like set and let do)
New aliases added for common methods which work against lists/arrays. Type list.{TAB} to see the complete list of methods
Added support for alternative separator values in struct-keys
Hint summaries are now cached, to improve performance on slower machines
Opt in support to pre-cache hint summaries. This will also auto-disable appending colon to command suggestions in autocomplete. This is not enabled by default because it could negatively affect performance on some slower machines and is more of an aesthetic improvement. You can enable it by adding config: set shell pre-cache-hint-summaries true to your Murex profile
New autocompletions for yay (ArchLinux)
Some minor performance improvements
website: updates to docs

readline: max field size adjusted for autocompletes so more completions are visible at one time
readline: all cropped autocompletions now provide an uncropped version in the hint text field
readline: fix bug with history not getting written
OS signals (^c et al) are now re-registered after each exec (fixes bug where some programs would "steal" ^c, breaking support for those signals upon subsequent execs)
Fixed regression bug in man page parsing
Added check for zero-length string used as a process name (this shouldn't ever happen under normal circumstances however closing this bug allows for a managed error rather than the code panicking)
readline: Prompt environment reset on each loop (this change is to future-proof against potential bugs)
Fixed race condition bug when some of the tests are run concurrently (this bug only existed in the unit tests but sometimes caused those tests to fail)
Added CI tests for Go v19.x
