GitHub released a new stable version of their open-source and cross-platform Atom hackable text editor with a bunch of enhancements, bug fixes, a new Electron version, as well as performance and responsiveness improvements.

Atom 1.25 is now available for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms, and it is packed with improvements for the GitHub package to let you stage and view changes affecting file mode modifications, additions to symbolic links, as well as the ability for the Diff view to no longer reset its scrolling position.

The Atom 1.25 release also improves support for the Python and HTML languages by implementing support for function annotations, binary strings, async functions, f-strings, and string formatting to the tokenizer when coding in Python, as well as support for tokenizing style attributes as CSS in HTML documents.
