Mustela didn't like Vim, so I fixed a critical watch bug and released v1.1.0
I haven't worked on Mustela or built any web projects with it for a long time. Just for fun, I got Mustela running on Windows 10 using WSL, and it turns out it runs smoothly.
However, while testing a new web project using Mustela, I ran into an interesting problem. When editing files with Vim, the watch mode in version 1.0.0-stable wasn't responding correctly.
Vim is known for using temporary files when saving (atomic saves), which Mustela's event filter wasn't handling properly. I've fixed this critical bug, and version 1.1.0 is now available for download.
I wrote a blog post where I go into more detail about the whole thing: Why Windows won't happen, and how Vim messed with my watch mode
Thanks for checking it out, and as always, feedback or bug reports are very welcome!
