     has made major advances in 3.26, with general improvements as well as new
     features. One of the most obvious changes in the new version is a redesigned
     editor interface. This makes it easier to open and switch between files,
     terminals and documentation, using either the header popover or the project
     sidebar. There have been a lot of user interface refinements as part of
     this work, including document headers which blend into the background.</p>
