Gram 3.4.0 was released primarily due to security concerns around the eMudhra CA debacle and vulnerable rustls-webpki/webpki-roots packages bundled with the editor. The release also introduces several new features including a side-by-side git diff view, wrapable tab bar, and a backported Helix Amp Jump feature. Notably, the editor now better restricts silent downloads, though the UI for download permissions needs improvement.
Background
Gram is a Rust-based text editor positioned as a lightweight alternative to larger editors like Zed and Helix. The eMudhra root CA scandal prompted widespread scrutiny of certificate trust stores in open-source software, affecting tools using webpki-roots.
