- Update to 0.13.1:
* Fix passing input via the pipe action to a program without a window not working.
* Linux: Fix a regression in the previous release that caused automatic selection of bold/italic fonts when using aliases such as "monospace" to not work (#1209)

Changelog from 0.13.0:
* Add an option scrollback_pager_history_size to tell kitty to store extended scrollback to use when viewing the scrollback buffer in a pager (#970)
* Modify the kittens sub-system to allow creating custom kittens without any user interface. This is useful for creating more complex actions that can be bound to key presses in kitty.conf. See doc:kittens/custom. (#870)

* Linux: Fix slow startup on some systems caused by GLFW searching for joysticks. Since kitty does not use joysticks, disable joystick support. (#830)
* Draw only the minimum borders needed for inactive windows. That is only the borders that separate the inactive window from a neighbor. Note that setting a non-zero window margin overrides this and causes all borders to be drawn. The old behavior of drawing all borders can be restored via the draw_minimal_borders setting in kitty.conf.
* Fix triple-click to select line not working when the entire line is filled (#703)
* When dragging to select with the mouse "grab" the mouse so that if it strays into neighboring windows, the selection is still updated (#624)

* When drag-scrolling stop the scroll when the mouse button is released.
* Fix a regression in the previous release that caused pasting large amounts of text to be duplicated (#709)
