In typical Hacker News fashion I have a couple of general comments unrelated to the release itself: is it just me that is bothered by how skinny the font is? Or the lack of an “e” on the README “pangram”?
If you use large fonts (my vision is not the best), and work on laptops (which don't have huge screens), Iosevka is thin enough to have two 80-char terminals open side-by-side.
Secondly, I find it to be very legible. This is not always that noticeable in screenshots, but if you try skimming and navigating code using a new font, you see the difference.
Finally, it is quite configurable, so you can pick a character style that you like (I like SS09).
On the "e" in the README, that is disturbing. And also a little bit impressive. They went to the bother of adding `h` an unused param, why not `e`...
I personally run with a custom Iosevka build with medium/bold weight everywhere.
