Bump version number to 0.2.0 (#1492) * Change deb installation from crates.io to git There have been a number of issues an PRs opened since the cargo-deb installation does not work with the latest version from crates.io. To help out users until the crates.io version is updated, the installation instructions have been temporarily changed to install `cargo-deb` through github. * Revert cargo-deb install back to use crates.io Since `cargo-deb` has been updated on crates.io it is now possible to just install it from crates.io and build Alacritty's deb without having to rely on github. * Update dependencies This fixes an `illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)` error when building in release mode. * Remove redundant copy when selecting font_key * Bump version number to 0.2.0 Since the Scrollback branch introduces some major changes, this bumps the version number from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0. The versions of Alacritty have not been updated regularly to this point, so the scrollback branch is a good point in time to start updating Alacritty's version on a regular basis. Further changes to the readme, like dropping the 'alpha' status and updating it to 'beta' could also be introduced with this branch. This way there will be a clean cut which updates everything as soon as scrollback is merged. Building versions is another thing which would be a good thing to start reasonably quickly. However starting this on the main branch after scrollback has been merged seems like a more reliable way to move forward. This fixes #1240. * Add a CHANGELOG file A CHANGELOG file has been added to offer a bit more transparency over which features have been changed, added and potentially removed in Alacritty. There are various formats available for the CHANGELOG file but the most common and sensible one seems to be the one defined by https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0. Following the template proposed by this it should be possible to create a clear CHANGELOG which makes it simple for new contributors to figure out exactly which formatting should be used for it. Since there have been quite a few changes to Alacritty already, not all changes have been added to the changelog. However a few entries have been ported just to give a bit of an example what the format should look like. This also helps with the 0.2.0 version since it will not be completely empty in the changelog. This fixes #1534. * Update CHANGELOG This updates the CHANGELOG to include the changes introduced by 43882ade33d4c14ee7248e489a2d33395faaa0b1.

This solves problems with child windows not properly spawning in the foreground with KDE. More information can be found here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/startup-notification-spec/startup-notification-latest.txt
2019-06-16 12:03:52 -04:00
### Fixed
- GUI programs launched by Alacritty starting in the background on X11
Fix inconsitent cursor position when scrolling This commit fixes regression introduced in cfc20d4f34dca535654cc32df18e785296af4cc5. `self.cursor.line` forced the cursor to hold a fixed location while scrolling until its "original" location (usually the shell prompt) went off the screen. So cursor position should be keep updated, which can be achieved by using `self.inner.line()`. Fixes #2570.
2019-06-21 19:00:01 -04:00
- Text Cursor position when scrolling
Fix performance issues with text reflow Fixes #2567. Fixes #2414.
2019-06-23 19:29:01 -04:00
- Performance issues while resizing Alacritty
Fix first unfullscreen on fullscreen mode launched window
2019-06-25 17:32:28 -04:00
- First unfullscreen action ignored on window launched in fullscreen mode
Perform clear and buffer swap before showing window This should fill window with background color while it is offscreen instead of showing it with uninitilized surface and then performing `clear`. So, the new behavior should prevent glitches during startup. e.g. content of the windows below, garbage from drivers and so on.
2019-06-25 17:34:55 -04:00
- The window is now filled with the background color before displaying
Fix rows only resetting partially This resolves an issue with rows only resetting partially, based on their `occ` state. However this state is not always accurate, so more than just the occupied elements need to be cleared. Fixes #2340.
2019-06-28 16:19:15 -04:00
- Cells sometimes not getting cleared correctly
Fix X11 clipboard hanging with mime set
2019-06-29 10:35:53 -04:00
- X11 clipboard hanging when mime type is set
Use Menlo as fallback font on macOS This commit makes alacritty use Menlo as a fallback font on macOS if the config specified font family isn't found.
2019-07-06 05:00:16 -04:00
- On macOS, Alacritty will now fallback to Menlo if a font specified in the config cannot be loaded
Fix saving of ref tests Since ref tests were only stored whenever winit requested the window close, they would not get stored properly when the terminal was closed through Alacritty using `exit`, Ctrl+D or similar. This moves the ref test code to the and of the main entry point, which will always be executed regardless of how the terminal was shutdown.
2019-07-07 10:51:11 -04:00
- Debug ref tests are now written to disk regardless of shutdown method
Fix cursor color setting with escape sequence The cursor rework introduced a regression where cursor color was always picked from a config file, rather then using `ansi::NamedColor::Cursor` for this purpose. This commit also removes `CursorText` option from `NamedColor` enum, since we can't speculate with `CursorText` during runtime. Cursor rework commits: cfc20d4f34dca535654cc32df18e785296af4cc5 371d13f8ef95157c97f7de9964bcbc89d4a8e930 0d060d5d801e3abb55035269138d819d38fc175b
2019-07-10 17:24:04 -04:00
- Cursor color setting with escape sequence
Override default bindings with subset mode match Fixes #2641.
2019-07-15 17:32:48 -04:00
- Override default bindings with subset terminal mode match
Respect fontconfig's embeddedbitmap setting Fixes #2655.
2019-07-23 17:21:11 -04:00
- On Linux, respect fontconfig's `embeddedbitmap` configuration option
Fix double-click selecting trailing tab Fixes #2639.
2019-07-26 07:18:47 -04:00
- Selecting trailing tab with semantic expansion
Switch to rfind_url for URL detection This switches to rfind_url for detecting URLs inside the grid. Instead of expanding at the cursor position, the complete terminal is searched from the bottom until the visible region is left with no active URL. Instead of having the field `cur` publicly accessibly on the `DisplayIterator`, there are the two methods `DisplayIterator::point` and `DisplayIterator::cell` for accessing the current element of the iterator now. This allows accessing the current element right after creating the iterator. Fixes #2629. Fixes #2627.
2019-08-01 11:37:01 -04:00
- URL parser incorrectly handling Markdown URLs and angled brackets
Ignore unsupported CSI sequences Instead of ignoring unexpected intermediates in CSI escape sequences, the intermediates are now explicitly checked and the escape sequence is rejected when an unexpected intermediate is found. Fixes #2171.
2019-08-06 18:59:16 -04:00
- Intermediate bytes of CSI sequences not checked
Unset DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable This unsets the DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable at startup, to prevent child processes from inheriting it. This solves problems with child windows not properly spawning in the foreground with KDE. More information can be found here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/startup-notification-spec/startup-notification-latest.txt
2019-06-16 12:03:52 -04:00
Bump version to 0.3.3
2019-06-16 10:10:15 -04:00
## 0.3.3
Add DirectWrite font rasterizer This adds a DirectWrite font rasterizer for Windows and enables subpixel rendering and hinting. It also completely replaces rusttype for font rendering on Windows, allowing Alacritty to use the native font stacks on all operating systems. Fixes #1673. Fixes #2316.
2019-04-23 13:41:21 -04:00
Switch from copypasta to rust-clipboard This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized `clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip` dependency on X11. Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created). Fixes #5.
2019-04-28 16:21:39 -04:00
### Packaging
Add linux Appstream packaging data
2019-05-11 10:29:07 -04:00
- Add appstream metadata, located at /extra/linux/io.alacritty.Alacritty.xml
Switch from copypasta to rust-clipboard This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized `clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip` dependency on X11. Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created). Fixes #5.
2019-04-28 16:21:39 -04:00
- The xclip dependency has been removed
Add NSSystemAdministrationUsageDescription to macOS manifest This resolves permission failures when modifying root-owned files and such, e.g., modifying /etc/hosts. It had been possible to work around this by adding alacritty to the set of applications with "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences. macOS now opens a prompt to confirm permission with a new installation. This fixes #2337.
2019-05-07 11:49:22 -04:00
- On macOS, Alacritty now requests NSSystemAdministrationUsageDescription to
avoid permission failures
Bump minimum supported Rust version to 1.32.0
2019-06-08 12:01:14 -04:00
- Minimum Rust version has been bumped to 1.32.0
Switch from copypasta to rust-clipboard This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized `clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip` dependency on X11. Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created). Fixes #5.
2019-04-28 16:21:39 -04:00
Add fullscreen support Fixes #34. Fixes #2012.
2019-04-23 15:05:47 -04:00
### Added
- Added ToggleFullscreen action
Show same fg/bg text when inversed If a cell has a matching foreground and background and is inversed through the escape or selection, it will now fall back to the default background on top of the default foreground. This makes it possible to show invisible text like this by selecting it. Hidden text is unaffected by this change. This fixes #2315.
2019-04-25 12:51:45 -04:00
- On macOS, there's a ToggleSimpleFullscreen action which allows switching to
Add fullscreen support Fixes #34. Fixes #2012.
2019-04-23 15:05:47 -04:00
fullscreen without occupying another space
Refactor config parsing files This is a large refactor of the config parsing structure, attempting to reduce the size of the file a bit by splitting it up into different modules with more specific purposes. This also fixes #2279.
2019-05-10 07:36:16 -04:00
- A new window option `window.startup_mode` which controls how the window is created
Set _NET_WM_ICON on X11
2019-04-28 14:12:36 -04:00
- `_NET_WM_ICON` property is set on X11 now, allowing for WMs to show icons in titlebars
Add git hash to version string, and fix crate name (#2397) This moves `cli` out of `alacritty_terminal` and into `alacritty` where it belongs, along with the `clap` dependency.
2019-05-03 19:48:25 -04:00
- Current Git commit hash to `alacritty --version`

Add fullscreen support Fixes #34. Fixes #2012.
2019-04-23 15:05:47 -04:00
Add DirectWrite font rasterizer This adds a DirectWrite font rasterizer for Windows and enables subpixel rendering and hinting. It also completely replaces rusttype for font rendering on Windows, allowing Alacritty to use the native font stacks on all operating systems. Fixes #1673. Fixes #2316.
2019-04-23 13:41:21 -04:00
### Changed

Add fullscreen support Fixes #34. Fixes #2012.
2019-04-23 15:05:47 -04:00
- The `start_maximized` window option is now `startup_mode: Maximized`
Show same fg/bg text when inversed If a cell has a matching foreground and background and is inversed through the escape or selection, it will now fall back to the default background on top of the default foreground. This makes it possible to show invisible text like this by selecting it. Hidden text is unaffected by this change. This fixes #2315.
2019-04-25 12:51:45 -04:00
- Cells with identical foreground and background will now show their text upon selection/inversion
Refactor config parsing files This is a large refactor of the config parsing structure, attempting to reduce the size of the file a bit by splitting it up into different modules with more specific purposes. This also fixes #2279.
2019-05-10 07:36:16 -04:00
- Default Window padding to 0x0
- Moved config option `render_timer` and `persistent_logging` to the `debug` group
Re-invert cursor when in selection
2019-06-05 20:02:20 -04:00
- When the cursor is in the selection, it will be inverted again, making it visible
Add DirectWrite font rasterizer This adds a DirectWrite font rasterizer for Windows and enables subpixel rendering and hinting. It also completely replaces rusttype for font rendering on Windows, allowing Alacritty to use the native font stacks on all operating systems. Fixes #1673. Fixes #2316.
2019-04-23 13:41:21 -04:00
Fix message bar not updating PTY size
2019-04-24 14:17:09 -04:00
### Fixed
Fix double-width characters in URLs only highlighting halfway
2019-04-28 12:09:26 -04:00
- Double-width characters in URLs only being highlit on the left half
Fix message bar not updating PTY size
2019-04-24 14:17:09 -04:00
- PTY size not getting updated when message bar is shown
Fix cursor disappearing The cfc20d4f34dca535654cc32df18e785296af4cc5 commit introduced a regression which would cause the cursor to disappear after the glyph cache has been filled. Since the cursor was not cached on the glyph cache, the cursor would quickly fill up the OpenGL texture with lots of cursor textures and then things would break after the atlas was filled completely. This adds a separate cursor cache which is keyed by the cursor style that will persist the texture without flooding the atlas. This fixes #2355.
2019-04-25 16:01:23 -04:00
- Text Cursor disappearing
Fix position of zero-width over double-width characters
2019-04-25 18:26:22 -04:00
- Incorrect positioning of zero-width characters over double-width characters
Fix mouse mode generate events without cell change
2019-04-28 18:36:02 -04:00
- Mouse mode generating events when the cell has not changed
Fix selection of double-width characters This changes the selection behavior to automatically select both cells of double width characters in either selection direction. This fixes #2322.
2019-04-29 10:33:25 -04:00
- Selections not automatically expanding across double-width characters
Reenable macOS automatic graphics switching This issue has been resolved upstream by a macOS update, fixing all crashing issues when switching between integrated and dedicated GPUs. Fixes #2221.
2019-05-14 11:36:13 -04:00
- On macOS, automatic graphics switching has been enabled again
Fix URL detection matching invalid URLs Fixes #2450.
2019-05-16 17:05:00 -04:00
- Text getting recognized as URLs without slashes separating the scheme
Allow URLs to end with trailing slash
2019-05-19 15:24:00 -04:00
- URL parser dropping trailing slashes from valid URLs
Skip UTF-8 BOM when reading config file
2019-05-28 12:29:42 -04:00
- UTF-8 BOM skipped when reading config file
Fix ncurses backspace key Ncurses does some special handling for backspace, normally comparing it to the KEY_BACKSPACE constant. However to make this work, the right backspace escape sequence needs to be set in the terminfo. XTerm has this set to ^H, but it always sends ^H. Since Alacritty usually sends ^? instead, this needs to be specified to allow correct interpretation for ncurses.
2019-06-07 18:09:22 -04:00
- Terminfo backspace escape sequence (`kbs`)
Fix message bar not updating PTY size
2019-04-24 14:17:09 -04:00
Refactor config parsing files This is a large refactor of the config parsing structure, attempting to reduce the size of the file a bit by splitting it up into different modules with more specific purposes. This also fixes #2279.
2019-05-10 07:36:16 -04:00
### Removed
- Deprecated `mouse.faux_scrollback_lines` config field
- Deprecated `custom_cursor_colors` config field

## Version 0.3.2
Fix ConPTY panic
2019-04-22 15:50:07 -04:00
### Fixed
- Panic on startup when using Conpty on Windows
Bump version to 0.3.1
2019-04-22 12:04:58 -04:00
## Version 0.3.1
Reset scrolling region when receiving RIS escape
2019-04-08 18:19:22 -04:00
### Added
- Added ScrollLineUp and ScrollLineDown actions for scrolling line by line
Switch from copypasta to rust-clipboard This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized `clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip` dependency on X11. Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created). Fixes #5.
2019-04-28 16:21:39 -04:00
- Native clipboard support on X11 and Wayland
Reset scrolling region when receiving RIS escape
2019-04-08 18:19:22 -04:00
Set maximum Rust version to 1.31.0 By setting the minimum Rust version and enforcing it with CI, Alacritty should hopefully make it possible for maintainers to package the application even on distributions which are not rolling release. The 1.31.0 target has been chosen here because it's the first version of the Rust 2018 release. Bumping this version in the future should be considered to be a breaking change and should only be done with caution and in consideration of the supported Rust versions of the major distributions available. This fixes #2277.
2019-04-09 15:29:46 -04:00
### Changed
- Alacritty now has a fixed minimum supported Rust version of 1.31.0
Reset scrolling region when receiving RIS escape
2019-04-08 18:19:22 -04:00
### Fixed
- Reset scrolling region when the RIS escape sequence is received
Fix macos subprocess execution This fixes the execution of subprocesses on macOS which could sometimes prevent actions like `SpawnNewProcess` or custom commands from launching their processes correctly. This fixes #2259.
2019-04-11 04:41:20 -04:00
- Subprocess spawning on macos
Fix duplicate resize events If a resize event is identical to the current size, it is no longer propagated but the resize is discarded immediately. To further prevent resizes when not necessary, the list of monitors is enumerated and the DPR of the first display is assumed to be the target DPR. This allows spawning a window with dimensions when the config has columns and lines specified and the window only needs to be resized if the estimated DPR is not correct. Fixes #1825. Fixes #204.
2019-04-14 11:37:58 -04:00
- Unnecessary resize at startup
- Text getting blurry after live-reloading shaders with padding active
Call TIOCSWINSZ only on grid change Instead of calling TIOCSWINSZ for every pixel change it will now be called only on changes to the grid size. This should reduce screen refreshes. This fixes #2177.
2019-04-17 18:42:27 -04:00
- Resize events are not send to the shell anymore if dimensions haven't changed
Fix update_lines performance issues This resolves performance issues with the `update_lines` method that were caused by excessive updates without underlines or strikeout present. This also resolves a bug that was causing the underline and strikeout to extend beyond the end of line in some rare cases. This fixes #114.
2019-04-19 08:07:56 -04:00
- Minor performance issues with underline and strikeout checks
- Rare bug which would extend underline and strikeout beyond the end of line
Fix cursor dimensions with font offset Previously cursor dimensions were not calculated correctly when a font offset was specified, since the font offset was completely ignored. This has been fixed by moving all the cursor logic from the font into the Alacritty crate, applying the config's offsets before rasterizing the cursors. This has also fixed an issue with some cursors not being rendered as double-width correctly when over double-width glyphs. This fixes #2209.
2019-04-19 14:00:24 -04:00
- Cursors not spanning two lines when over double-width characters
- Incorrect cursor dimensions if the font offset isn't `0`
Reset scrolling region when receiving RIS escape
2019-04-08 18:19:22 -04:00
Bump version to 0.3.0
2019-04-08 15:14:51 -04:00
## Version 0.3.0
Fix panic on exit with ConPTY Even though the `ClosePseudoConsole` API does not have a return value, it was incorrectly queried by the `Drop` implementation for the ConPTY, leading to a panic on exit. The definition of this call has been updated to match the actual function signatures, which resolve this problem.
2019-02-21 04:28:33 -05:00
Add icon to Linux .desktop file
2019-04-04 14:41:57 -04:00
### Packaging
- On Linux, the .desktop file now uses `Alacritty` as icon name, which can be
found at `extra/logo/alacritty-term.svg`
Add MSI installer for Windows
2019-03-02 13:31:14 -05:00
### Added

2019-03-07 15:37:11 -05:00
- Dynamic title support on Windows
Add option for window position at startup
2019-03-11 08:35:49 -04:00
- Ability to specify starting position with the `--position` flag
- New configuration field `window.position` allows specifying the starting position
Add config option to change selection color
2019-03-12 19:11:32 -04:00
- Added the ability to change the selection color
Add text reflow Alacritty will now automatically reflow lines and shrink them when they would usually exceed the new width of the terminal instead of truncation. If a line had to be truncated, it will also be reflown into the previous line after growing the terminal width. The reflow behavior when not at the bottom of the history is similar to that of VTE and aims to keep the viewport stationary whenever possible. Opposed to VTE, reflow will also be performed in the alternate screen buffer. There will be bugs when resizing the terminal emulator to a size smaller than the prompt, though these issues were present in all terminal emulators with reflow support. This fixes #591.

- Text will reflow instead of truncating when resizing Alacritty
Add URL hover highlighting This changes the cursor whenever it moves to a cell which contains part of a URL. When a URL is hovered over, all characters that are recognized as part of the URL will be underlined and the mouse cursor shape will be changed. After the cursor leaves the URL, the previous hover state is restored. This also changes the behavior when clicking an illegal character right in front of a URL. Previously this would still launch the URL, but strip the illegal character. Now these clicks are ignored to make sure there's no mismatch between underline and legal URL click positions
2019-03-19 15:14:17 -04:00
- Underline text and change cursor when hovering over URLs with required modifiers pressed
### Changed
- Clicking on non-alphabetical characters in front of URLs will no longer open them
Merge "Changed" sections in ChangeLog
2019-03-31 14:29:04 -04:00
- Command keybindings on Windows will no longer open new cmd.exe console windows
Disable automatic graphics switching on macOS Temporarily disabled automatic graphics switching due to a bug in macOS which leads to crashing. See #2221.
2019-04-04 19:05:49 -04:00
- On macOS, automatic graphics switching has been temporarily disabled due to a macos bug
Add MSI installer for Windows

Fix panic on exit with ConPTY Even though the `ClosePseudoConsole` API does not have a return value, it was incorrectly queried by the `Drop` implementation for the ConPTY, leading to a panic on exit. The definition of this call has been updated to match the actual function signatures, which resolve this problem.
2019-02-21 04:28:33 -05:00
### Fixed
- Fix panic which could occur when quitting Alacritty on Windows if using the Conpty backend
Fix selection copying with mouse outside of window There was an issue caused by 35efb4619c4b7a77b3c30de763856bc4441e236e which would lead to the current selection not getting copied to the clipboard if the mouse was released outside of the window. Instead of aborting any press/release actions when the cursor is not inside of Alacritty, the handling is now delayed until actual usage.
2019-02-21 15:13:14 -05:00
- Automatic copying of selection to clipboard when mouse is released outside of Alacritty
Fix scrollback live reloading This fixes two issues with live reloading the `scrolling.history` property. It is now possible to increase the scrollback history without restarting Alacritty. When decreasing the scrollback history while scrolled beyond the new history limit, Alacritty will reset the viewport position to the new limit instead of crashing. This fixes #2147.
2019-03-02 13:32:48 -05:00
- Scrollback history live reload only working when shrinking lines
- Crash when decreasing scrollback history in config while scrolled in history
Fix alt screen bugs This fixes two bugs with the alternate screen buffer. When resetting while in the alt screen, Alacritty would not swap out the grids leading to scrollback getting disabled. By swapping out the grids again when resetting in the alternate screen buffer, scrollback is now unaffected from a reset. There was another issue with the cursor jumping around when leaving the alt screen even though it was not active, this was fixed by skipping all alt screen swap routines unless the current state matches the expected state. This fixes #2145.
2019-03-02 16:30:29 -05:00
- Resetting the terminal while in the alt screen will no longer disable scrollback
- Cursor jumping around when leaving alt screen while not in the alt screen
- Text lingering around when resetting while scrolled up in the history
Fix terminfo support for extended capabilities To make sure all extended capabilities can be queried correctly, it is necessary to compile the terminfo file using the `-x` flag. Since Alacritty specified support for the XTerm mouse mode (XM/xm), using the `-x` flag was not possible until now without breaking programs like `htop`. By removing this flag, these issues should be resolved. This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/2131.
2019-03-03 15:25:29 -05:00
- Terminfo support for extended capabilities
Fix selection starting inside padding This fixes #2109.
2019-03-04 11:20:15 -05:00
- Allow mouse presses and beginning of mouse selection in padding
Make start_daemon behaviour on Windows consistent with Unix In cases where the Alacritty process had invalid std handles then the ConPTY subprocess would fail to spawn. By setting appropriate flags we prevent these handles from being passed to the ConPTY subprocess.
2019-03-04 17:58:03 -05:00
- Windows: Conpty backend could close immediately on startup in certain situations
Add support for SpawnNewInstance using linux compat on FreeBSD This fixes opening a new instance in the shell's current working directory. The code currently assumes that there is a Linux compatible procfs mounted on /proc which is not the case on FreeBSD. However linprocfs(5) is often mounted on /compat/linux/proc so we can use that here for the time being. A proper solution would look up the kern.proc.cwd.<pid> sysctl instead, but that is not currently easily doable due to missing KERN_PROC_CWD and struct kinfo_file definitions in the libc crate.
2019-03-08 11:36:23 -05:00
- FreeBSD: SpawnNewInstance will now open new instances in the shell's current
working directory as long as linprocfs(5) is mounted on `/compat/linux/proc`
Fix signal handling on Unix systems This removes the the signal handling machinery in tty::unix, and replaces it with functionality from signal-hook, which should be more robust. Signals caught by signal-hook wake up the existing I/O event loop, which then delegates back to the PTY to handle them. In particular, this allows `SIGCHLD` (i.e. child process exits) to shut down the terminal promptly, instead of sometimes leaving the window lingering. Fixes #915. Fixes #1276. Fixes #1313. As a side effect, this fixes a very rare bug on Linux, where a `read` from the PTY on the master side would sometimes "fail" with `EIO` if the child closed the client side at a particular moment. This was subject to a race condition, and was very difficult to trigger in practice.
2019-03-12 15:44:47 -04:00
- Fix lingering Alacritty window after child process has exited
Add text reflow Alacritty will now automatically reflow lines and shrink them when they would usually exceed the new width of the terminal instead of truncation. If a line had to be truncated, it will also be reflown into the previous line after growing the terminal width. The reflow behavior when not at the bottom of the history is similar to that of VTE and aims to keep the viewport stationary whenever possible. Opposed to VTE, reflow will also be performed in the alternate screen buffer. There will be bugs when resizing the terminal emulator to a size smaller than the prompt, though these issues were present in all terminal emulators with reflow support. This fixes #591.
2019-03-13 14:55:18 -04:00
- Growing the terminal while scrolled up will no longer move the content down
Update glutin to version 0.20 Fixes #458. Fixes #1681.
2019-03-14 16:06:38 -04:00
- Support for alternate keyboard layouts on macOS
- Slow startup time on some X11 systems
- The AltGr key no longer sends escapes (like Alt)
Add additional key bindings for changing font size This fixes #2010.
2019-03-15 16:41:48 -04:00
- Fixes increase/decrease font-size keybindings on international keyboards
Add change log entry for Wayland title fix Fixes #2104.
2019-03-15 16:48:51 -04:00
- On Wayland, the `--title` flag will set the Window title now
Fix URLs getting incorrectly extended to next line If a URL ends right at the end of the terminal, it would sometimes incorrectly include the characters from the following line when launching the URL. Similar to the semantic search function, the URL parsing iterator will now stop if it encounters a cell at the end of the line which does not contain the `WRAPLINE` flag. This fixes #1906.
2019-03-19 18:32:40 -04:00
- Parsing issues with URLs starting in the first or ending in the last column
Revert accidental deletion of change log entry
2019-03-26 12:38:01 -04:00
- URLs stopping at double-width characters
Fix `start_maximized` option on X11
2019-03-24 20:27:34 -04:00
- Fix `start_maximized` option on X11
Rework URL highlighting This completely reworks URL highlighting to fix two issues which were caused by the original approach. The primary issues that were not straight-forward to resolve with the previous implementation were about handling the URL highlighted content moving while the highlight is active. This lead to issues with highlighting with scrolling and when the display offset was not 0. The new approach sticks closely to prior art done for the selection, where the selection is tracked on the grid and updated whenever the buffer is rotated. The truncation of URLs was incorrectly assuming input to be just a single codepoint wide to truncate the end of URLs with unmatching closing parenthesis. This is now handled properly using Rust's built-in Unicode support. This fixes #2231. This fixes #2225.
2019-03-30 05:23:48 -04:00
- Error when parsing URLs ending with Unicode outside of the ascii range
Fix build errors on BSD This updates winit and glutin to the latest git versions instead of relying on releases to fix a build failure on BSD. Unfortunately the upstream version bumps might still take a bit and there hasn't been any feedback with regards to a planned release date. This also fixes a slight issue on Windows where selections would start when focusing a window and a build failure with some Linux systems Fixes #2243. Fixes #2170. Fixes #2244.
2019-04-04 19:11:29 -04:00
- On Windows, focusing a Window will no longer start a selection
Fix panic on exit with ConPTY Even though the `ClosePseudoConsole` API does not have a return value, it was incorrectly queried by the `Drop` implementation for the ConPTY, leading to a panic on exit. The definition of this call has been updated to match the actual function signatures, which resolve this problem.

## Version 0.2.9
Fix font spacing error Fixes #2098.
2019-02-11 16:33:37 -05:00
### Changed
- Accept fonts which are smaller in width or height than a single pixel
### Fixed
- Incorrect font spacing after moving Alacritty between displays
Bump version to 0.2.8
2019-02-10 15:14:52 -05:00
## Version 0.2.8
Fix off-by-one error in erase_chars
2019-01-21 16:59:10 -05:00
Set window title on Wayland Fixes #1582. Fixes #1875.
2019-02-06 16:10:45 -05:00
### Added
- Window class on Wayland is set to `Alacritty` by default
Dynamically resize terminal for errors/warnings The warning and error messages now don't overwrite other terminal content anymore but instead resize the terminal to make sure that text can always be read. Instead of just showing that there is a new error and pointing to the log, errors will now be displayed fully in multiple lines of text, assuming that there is enough space left in the terminal. Explicit mouse click handling has also been added to the message bar, which made it possible to add a simple `close` button in the form of `[X]`. Alacritty's log file location is now stored in the `$ALACRITTY_LOG` environment variable which the shell inherits automatically. Previously there were some issues with the log file only being deleted when certain methods for closing Alacritty were used (like typing `exit`). This has been reworked and now Ctrl+D, exit and signals should all work properly. Before the config is reloaded, all current messages are now dropped. This should help with multiple terminals all getting clogged up at the same time when the config is broken. When one message is removed, all other duplicate messages are automatically removed too.
2019-02-07 17:36:45 -05:00
- Log file location is stored in the `ALACRITTY_LOG` environment variable
- Close button has been added to the error/warning messages
Set window title on Wayland Fixes #1582. Fixes #1875.
2019-02-06 16:10:45 -05:00
Improve touchpad scrolling By scaling fractional scaling by scrolling multiplier before conversion to lines it is now possible to scroll much more accurately with touchpads. The `scrolling.multiplier` now also applies to touchpads.
2019-01-27 16:06:27 -05:00
### Changed
Fix regression in the URL launcher config Due to the merging of configuration files on all platforms, it has been made impossible to completely disable URL launching without still executing some kind of program like `true`. Setting the launcher to `None` in the config, will now disable it completely. This fixes #2058.
2019-02-03 11:44:39 -05:00
- Improve scrolling accuracy with devices sending fractional updates (like touchpads)
Improve touchpad scrolling By scaling fractional scaling by scrolling multiplier before conversion to lines it is now possible to scroll much more accurately with touchpads. The `scrolling.multiplier` now also applies to touchpads.
2019-01-27 16:06:27 -05:00
- `scrolling.multiplier` now affects normal scrolling with touchpads
Dynamically resize terminal for errors/warnings The warning and error messages now don't overwrite other terminal content anymore but instead resize the terminal to make sure that text can always be read.

2019-02-07 17:36:45 -05:00
- Error/Warning bar doesn't overwrite the terminal anymore
- Full error/warning messages are displayed
- Config error messages are automatically removed when the config is fixed
Change shift+pgup/pgdown to scroll history The default shift+pgup/pgdown buttons were sending the escape sequences specified by the official standard, however most terminal emulators like XTerm, URxvt and VTE make an exception for this special case and instead scroll the native history buffer. Both XTerm and URxvt do never send the escapes for Shift+PgUp/PgDown, however VTE does send them in the alternate screen. Since Alacritty already supports keybindings based on terminal mode and the binding to scroll the history is useless when in the alternate screen buffer, Alacritty is now following VTEs behavior here, allowing applications in the alt screen (like vim) to handle this escape. Fixes #1989.
2019-02-07 20:46:56 -05:00
- Scroll history on Shift+PgUp/PgDown when scrollback history is available
Improve touchpad scrolling By scaling fractional scaling by scrolling multiplier before conversion to lines it is now possible to scroll much more accurately with touchpads. The `scrolling.multiplier` now also applies to touchpads.
2019-01-27 16:06:27 -05:00
Fix off-by-one error in erase_chars
2019-01-21 16:59:10 -05:00
### Fixed
- Resolved off-by-one issue with erasing characters in the last column
Update dependencies This resolves an issue with notify that caused excessive wake-ups when waiting for config updates. Fixes #2029.
2019-01-23 17:05:47 -05:00
- Excessive polling every 100ms with `live_config_reload` enabled
Trim unicode characters from the start of URLs
2019-01-28 13:28:51 -05:00
- Unicode characters at the beginning of URLs are now properly ignored
Fix reloading with empty config When loading an empty configuration file, Alacritty only prints an info message and then proceeds to load the default config. However when reloading the configuration file it would throw a hard error. This has been fixed and a hard error is now only thrown when an error is returned during reload which isn't the empty file error.
2019-02-02 07:03:03 -05:00
- Remove error message when reloading an empty config
Fix regression in the URL launcher config Due to the merging of configuration files on all platforms, it has been made impossible to completely disable URL launching without still executing some kind of program like `true`. Setting the launcher to `None` in the config, will now disable it completely. This fixes #2058.
2019-02-03 11:44:39 -05:00
- Allow disabling URL launching by setting the value of `mouse.url.launcher` to `None`
Fix macOS config decorations doc
2019-02-03 19:17:57 -05:00
- Corrected the `window.decorations` config documentation for macOS
Scale IME position by hidpi_factor Since the IME was positioned using physical coordinates, the location would be incorrect with monitors using a DPR other than 1.0. This has been resolved by converting the physical position to a logical position using the methods built into winit. Fixes #2056.
2019-02-05 17:33:07 -05:00
- Fix IME position on HiDPI displays
Fix unclickable URLs with scrolled viewport Since scrolling the terminal moves around the underlying data structure of the terminal, the URL selection would search for the URL at the position where the click would have been without any scrolling. By adding the viewport offset to the click position, the URL clicking now searches at the correct location. This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/2076.
2019-02-06 19:55:18 -05:00
- URLs not opening while terminal is scrolled
Dynamically resize terminal for errors/warnings The warning and error messages now don't overwrite other terminal content anymore but instead resize the terminal to make sure that text can always be read. Instead of just showing that there is a new error and pointing to the log, errors will now be displayed fully in multiple lines of text, assuming that there is enough space left in the terminal.

2019-02-07 17:36:45 -05:00
- Reliably remove log file when Alacritty is closed and persistent logging is disabled
Remove selections when clearing screen partially Automatically remove all selections when part of the screen is cleared. This fixes issues in applications like `less -S` where a selection would stay around after scrolling horizontally. XTerm and URxvt both choose to always remove the selection, even if it's outside of the cleared area, however VTE only clears the selection if any part of it is inside the cleared area. To keep things simple, Alacritty has adopted the behavior of XTerm and URxvt to always clear selections. This fixes #1644.
2019-02-07 23:49:44 -05:00
- Remove selections when clearing the screen partially (scrolling horizontally in less)
Change font size only when new metrics are valid This prevents cell_width or cell_height being zero. Fixes #1693
2019-02-09 14:04:06 -05:00
- Crash/Freeze when shrinking the font size too far
Fix dimensions CLI/manpage docs
2019-02-10 13:42:57 -05:00
- Documentation of the `--dimensions` flag have been updated to display the correct default

2019-01-21 16:59:10 -05:00
Bump version to 0.2.7
2019-01-21 11:39:24 -05:00
## Version 0.2.7
Fix crash on Windows (#2021) The rusttype backend did not properly support manually specifying font styles, but instead chose to panic when they are specified. The rusttype implementation now provides a proper implementation for handling `bold`, `italic` and `regular` font styles. This fixes #2020.
2019-01-20 12:39:15 -05:00
### Fixed
- Crash when trying to start Alacritty on Windows
Bump version to 0.2.6
2019-01-19 11:00:09 -05:00
## Version 0.2.6
Fix minor issues in the config documentation
2019-01-07 16:56:55 -05:00
Add config option to send or not send ESC when ALT-key is pressed
2019-01-17 15:42:12 -05:00
### Added
- New `alt_send_esc` option for controlling if alt key should send escape sequences
Make all configuration fields optional All configuration fields now have fallback values which will be used if the field is not present. This includes mouse, key bindings and platform specific differences. The mouse and key bindings are now filled by default, if the user rebinds a default mapping, it will be overwritten. To unbind a default binding, it can be mapped to `chars: ""`. Since all platform differences can now be correctly handled by the `src/config/mod.rs` code, it's no longer necessary to maintain separate configuration files, so the `alacritty_macos.yml` and `alacritty_windows.yml` have been deleted. Fixes #40. Fixes #1923.
2019-01-17 04:17:26 -05:00
### Changed
- All options in the configuration file are now optional
### Removed
- Windows and macOS configuration files (`alacritty.yml` is now platform independent)
Fix minor issues in the config documentation
2019-01-07 16:56:55 -05:00
### Fixed
- Replaced `Command` with `Super` in the Linux and Windows config documentation
Fix selection with right and middle mouse Since there was no check for the button state for semantic and line selection, it was possible to trigger selection using the middle and right mouse button. This has been resolved by explicitly checking for the pressed button before starting these selections. To further ensure that double and triple clicks are only triggered when the same button is pressed multiple times, the last pressed button is stored. This fixes #1915.
2019-01-08 02:37:58 -05:00
- Prevent semantic and line selection from starting with the right or middle mouse button
Fix crash when starting Alacritty on full drives Since the Alacritty configuration file is written to the filesystem at startup, this could create issues when the system does not have any free space left. To circumvent this problem, the default configuration is now returned even when the configuration file could not be created. Instead of crashing Alacritty, an error is now emitted. Fixes #1936.
2019-01-09 15:27:13 -05:00
- Prevent Alacritty from crashing when started on a system without any free space
Fix CPU load when moving windows between monitors
2019-01-09 17:51:04 -05:00
- Resolve issue with high CPU usage after moving Alacritty between displays
Fix tabs overwriting cells during movement When compiling ncurses with the `--enable-hard-tabs` option, it will make use of tabs to speed up cursor movement. These tabs can be set at positions which will overwrite existing characters. Since these are only for movement and not supposed to write anything to the terminal, it is now checked that a cell does not contain any character before writing a tab to it. This fixes #1933.
2019-01-13 16:54:36 -05:00
- Characters will no longer be deleted when using ncurses with the hard tab optimization
Fix crash on macOS and BSD with SpawnNewInstance action
2019-01-19 08:45:45 -05:00
- Crash on non-linux operating systems when using the `SpawnNewInstance` action
Fix minor issues in the config documentation

Bump version to 0.2.5 This bumps the version number to 0.2.5 and prepares everything for the next versioned release.
2019-01-07 12:36:16 -05:00
## Version 0.2.5
Fix color issues in ncurses programs Certain programs like `htop` have problems with the number of color pairs which are specified by the Alacritty terminfo file. By reducing the maximum number of color pairs to the value which is specified by xterm-256color, these issues are resolved. This fixes #1862.
2018-12-12 09:12:59 -05:00
Add color option to visual bell This adds the option to specify the color of the visual bell using the `visual_bell.color` configuration setting. This is done by rendering a big quad over the entire screen, which also opens up options to draw other arbitrary rectangles on the screen in the future.
2018-12-17 14:06:07 -05:00
### Added
- New configuration field `visual_bell.color` allows changing the visual bell color
Report Windows panics through MessageBox Alacritty is often spawned through the executable on Windows. Since this doesn't allow access to the stderr and crashes on startup are more common on Windows due to the agent, it can be hard to troubleshoot issues. This reports all Alacritty crashes through error popups on Windows, which should resolve the problem of crashing Alacritty instances without any error feedback.
2018-12-23 17:36:06 -05:00
- Crashes on Windows are now also reported with a popup in addition to stderr
Add support for Windows ConPTY API
2018-12-28 11:01:58 -05:00
- Windows: New configuration field `enable_experimental_conpty_backend` which enables support
for the Pseudoconsole API (ConPTY) added in Windows 10 October 2018 (1809) update
Add key/mouse action for spawning new Alacritty instances
2019-01-05 15:47:12 -05:00
- New mouse and key action `SpawnNewInstance` for launching another instance of Alacritty
Add color option to visual bell This adds the option to specify the color of the visual bell using the `visual_bell.color` configuration setting. This is done by rendering a big quad over the entire screen, which also opens up options to draw other arbitrary rectangles on the screen in the future.

Make windows config location more sensible
2018-12-27 09:16:31 -05:00
### Changed
Normalize Log Message Strings The general style for errors, warnings and info messages is to start with a capitalized letter and end without a period. The main exception is when dealing with nouns that are clearer with special case handling, e.g. "macOS failed to work" or "ioctl is borked".
2019-01-06 19:06:57 -05:00
- Log messages are now consistent in style, and some have been removed
Fix Windows config location documontation The path `%APPDATA%` already includes the `Roaming` folder.
2018-12-28 10:26:58 -05:00
- Windows configuration location has been moved from %USERPROFILE%\alacritty.yml
to %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml
Change default Windows shell to PowerShell Update the Windows shell settings and comments so they look familiar to Windows users, but comment out the shell settings for consistency with Linux and Mac. Stop checking COMSPEC when the configuration file does not specify which shell to use, and just default to PowerShell.
2019-01-02 16:40:32 -05:00
- Windows default shell is now PowerShell instead of cmd
Limit number of URL schemes This limits the number of allowed schemes for the URL launcher, to reduce the number of false-positives. The accepted URL schemes are now: - http - https - mailto - news - file - git - ssh - ftp This fixes #1727.
2019-01-03 15:18:26 -05:00
- URL schemes have been limited to http, https, mailto, news, file, git, ssh and ftp
Make windows config location more sensible
2018-12-27 09:16:31 -05:00
Fix color issues in ncurses programs Certain programs like `htop` have problems with the number of color pairs which are specified by the Alacritty terminfo file. By reducing the maximum number of color pairs to the value which is specified by xterm-256color, these issues are resolved. This fixes #1862.
2018-12-12 09:12:59 -05:00
### Fixed
- Fix color issue in ncurses programs by updating terminfo pairs from 0x10000 to 0x7FFF
Ignore result on deregistering pty Fixes #1897.
2018-12-13 22:54:05 -05:00
- Fix panic after quitting Alacritty on macOS
Fixing tabs in copy-paste This resolves issues with copy-pasting tabs by including them in the pasted string. Selection of tabs is still inconsistent with what might be expected based on other terminal emulators, however the behavior hasn't regressed. This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/219.
2018-12-15 16:33:33 -05:00
- Tabs are no longer replaced by spaces when copying them to the clipboard
Send alt key with actual key in one flush The delay between the alt key and the actual received key might cause certain key sequences to be missed, ex. when tmux has its escape-time set to 0.
2018-12-19 19:33:42 -05:00
- Alt modifier is no longer sent separately from the modified key
Add support for Windows ConPTY API
2018-12-28 11:01:58 -05:00
- Various Windows issues, like color support and performance, through the new ConPTY
Use default cursor instead of arrow in mouse mode
2019-01-02 08:04:54 -05:00
- Fixed rendering non default mouse cursors in terminal mouse mode (linux)
Process Mouse Binding Actions Earlier To allow for a mouse binding to properly copy text, we should process the mouse binding actions before thee built-in functionality, which will clear the selection on right click, for example.
2019-01-02 16:56:36 -05:00
- Fix the `Copy` `mouse_bindings` action ([#1963](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/1963))
Launch URLs only when left-clicking This fixes #1903.
2019-01-03 14:28:31 -05:00
- URLs are only launched when left-clicking
Fix removal of trailing URL characters Some characters were not correctly stripped from the end of URLs with the URL launching feature. The list of URL separator characters has been extended to include '<', '>', '"', ' ', '{', '}', '|', '\\', '^' and '`', following the URL specification defined here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3987#page-13 Additionally, a list of characters which are always stripped from the end of URLs has been setup to contain '.', ',', ';', ':', '?', '!', and '/'. This fixes #1753.
2019-01-03 15:04:54 -05:00
- Removal of extra characters (like `,`) at the end of URLs has been improved
Improve URL detection with special characters Various special characters and character combinations were not handled correctly with URL detection. All these instances have been resolved and covered by various tests to prevent future regressions. Notable fixes include single quotes working more properly now (like `'https://example.org'`) and IPv6 URL support. Since URL detection is now more than just a few lines of code and it's mostly unrelated to the `Term`, it has also been extracted into the `src/url.rs` file together with all URL-related tests.
2019-01-04 10:47:20 -05:00
- Single quotes (`'`) are removed from URLs when there is no matching opening quote
Set minimum macOS version to 10.11 To make sure that CI builds produced by Travis work on all supported versions of macOS and building Alacritty works on all supported versions, the minimum macOS version has been set in the Makefile. This sets the minimum macOS version to `10.11` as a reasonable estimation based on other applications. If the exact version chosen turns out to cause some issues, it can be changed in the future.
2019-01-06 14:12:30 -05:00
- Precompiled binaries now work with macOS versions before 10.13 (10.11 and above)
Fix color issues in ncurses programs Certain programs like `htop` have problems with the number of color pairs which are specified by the Alacritty terminfo file. By reducing the maximum number of color pairs to the value which is specified by xterm-256color, these issues are resolved. This fixes #1862.

Bump version to 0.2.4
2018-12-09 18:28:29 -05:00
## Version 0.2.4
Add option for dynamic padding (#1780) This adds the `window.dynamic_padding` option which allows disabling the dynamic spread of additional padding around the grid's content. Based on the feedback I've gotten so far and the fact that most other terminal emulators do not seem to center the content inside themselves, I've changed the default configuration option to disable centering of the grid. This fixes #1778.
2018-11-15 14:57:15 -05:00
### Added
- Option for evenly spreading extra padding around the terminal (`window.dynamic_padding`)
Add option for launching Alacritty maximized
2018-11-19 16:23:47 -05:00
- Option for maximizing alacritty on start (`window.start_maximized`)
Add keybinding action for clearing warns/errors Since running `clear` inside of tmux doesn't actually clear any part of the screen, but just resets the scrolling region, the warning and error notices can't be removed without quitting tmux or Alacritty. As a solution, a new action `ClearLogNotice` has been added which has been bound to Ctrl+L by default. As a result, Ctrl+L can be used inside of tmux to remove the messages, even though tmux doesn't clear the screen. This fixes #1811.
2018-11-19 03:33:48 -05:00
- Display notice about errors and warnings inside Alacritty
- Log all messages to both stderr and a log file in the system's temporary directory
- New configuration option `persistent_logging` and CLI flag `--persistent-logging`,
for keeping the log file after closing Alacritty
- `ClearLogNotice` action for removing the warning and error message
Request user attention when bell received in macOS We now request the user's attention in macOS when a visual bell character is received. This manifests as the window jumping up and down in the dock.
2018-12-02 11:11:51 -05:00
- Terminal bells on macOS will now request the user's attention in the window
Add change log entries for macOS privacy requests
2018-12-02 11:07:23 -05:00
- Alacritty now requests privacy permissions on macOS
Add option for dynamic padding (#1780) This adds the `window.dynamic_padding` option which allows disabling the dynamic spread of additional padding around the grid's content. Based on the feedback I've gotten so far and the fact that most other terminal emulators do not seem to center the content inside themselves, I've changed the default configuration option to disable centering of the grid. This fixes #1778.
2018-11-15 14:57:15 -05:00
### Changed
- Extra padding is not evenly spread around the terminal by default anymore
Change missing config log level to info
2018-12-08 15:51:36 -05:00
- When the config file is empty, Alacritty now logs an info instead of an error message

Fix for an underflow on some type conversions (#1715)
2018-11-24 16:08:02 -05:00
### Fixed
- Fixed a bad type conversion which could cause underflow on a window resize
Launch a login shell by default on macOS
2018-12-03 17:26:59 -05:00
- Alacritty now spawns a login shell on macOS, as with Terminal.app and iTerm2
Detach Child process to avoid zombie processes This makes use of the common double-fork behavior to prevent spawning zombie processes every time a URL is clicked.
2018-12-06 16:38:34 -05:00
- Fixed zombie processes sticking around after launching URLs
Fix rendering of zero-width characters Instead of rendering zero-width characters as full characters, they are now properly rendered without advancing the cursor. Because of performance limitations, this implementation only supports up to 5 zero-width characters per cell. However, as a result of this limitation there should not be any performance impact. This fixes #1317, fixes #696 and closes #1318.
2018-12-09 10:28:22 -05:00
- Zero-width characters are now properly rendered without progressing the cursor
Fix for an underflow on some type conversions (#1715)
2018-11-24 16:08:02 -05:00
Bump version to 0.2.3 Since the version 0.2.2 had some significant breakage which affects a large number of users, this 0.2.3 release aims at providing a stable release which works for everyone without any major regressions.
2018-11-13 11:06:33 -05:00
## Version 0.2.3
Fix incorrect padding calculations The extra window padding was calculated in the renderer which lead to problems with the paddings calculated in the `src/display.rs` and `src/term/mod.rs`. As a solution, every instance of `config.padding().x/y` has been removed from the renderer (`src/renderer/mod.rs`), instead the padding is always passed through from the `src/display.rs`. The initial calculations during display creation and after resize then are scaled appropriately and then the extra padding is calculated. As a result every other location can just make use of the correctly calculated `size_info.padding_x` and `size_info.padding_y`. The documentation has been changed to clearly state that the padding is scaled by DPI now. This fixes #1773.
2018-11-12 13:23:23 -05:00
### Fixed
- Mouse cursor alignment issues and truncated last line caused by incorrect padding calculations
Bump version number to v0.2.2

Add statusline capabilities to Terminfo
2018-10-14 18:23:54 -04:00
### Added
Capitalization changes in README.md (#1757)
2018-11-07 12:49:13 -05:00
- Add support for Windows
Add statusline capabilities to Terminfo
2018-10-14 18:23:54 -04:00
- Add terminfo capabilities advertising support for changing the window title
Allow the usage of scancodes in the config This change should allow the usage of scancodes in the configuration file. When a VirtualKeyCode for glutin is not present, this should now allow the user to use the scancodes instead. If the user specifiecs a key with its scancode even though the key has a VirtualKeyCode, it should still work. The behavior of directly specifying a VirtualKeyCode should be unchanged by this. This fixes #1265.
2018-10-16 14:46:26 -04:00
- Allow using scancodes in the key_bindings section
Fix change log entry for URL clicking
2018-10-22 15:41:34 -04:00
- When `mouse.url.launcher` is set, clicking on URLs will now open them with the specified program
- New `mouse.url.modifiers` option to specify keyboard modifiers for opening URLs on click
Capitalization changes in README.md (#1757)
2018-11-07 12:49:13 -05:00
- Binaries for macOS, Windows and Debian-based systems are now published with GitHub releases
Upgrade Glutin to v0.19.0 Some changes include: • Use the with_hardware_acceleration function on the ContextBuilder to not require the discrete GPU • Remove the LMenu and RMenu virtual key codes (winit 0.16.0 removed these because Windows now generates LAlt and RAlt instead • Replace set_cursor_state with hide_cursor (winit 0.16.0 removed the set_cursor_state function) • Replace GlWindow::hidpi_factor with GlWindow::get_hidpi_factor and change to expecting an f64 • Use the glutin/winit dpi size and position types where possible Glutin's dpi change event has been implemented. All size events now return logical sizes. As a result of that, the logical sizes are translated in the `display::handle_rezize` method so DPI scaling works correctly. When the DPI is changed, the glyph cache is updated to make use of the correct font size again. Moving a window to a different screen which is a different DPI caused a racing condition where the logical size of the event was sent to the `handle_resize` method in `src/display.rs`, however if there was a DPI change event before `handle_resize` is able to process this message, it would incorrectly use the new DPI to scale the resize event. To solve this issue instead of sending the logical size to the `handle_resize` method and then converting it to a physical size in there, the `LogicalSize` of the resize event is transformed into a `PhysicalSize` as soon as it's received. This fixes potential racing conditions since all events are processed in order. The padding has been changed so it's also scaled by DPR. The `scale_with_dpi` config option has been removed. If it's not present a warning will be emitted. The `winit` dependency on Windows has been removed. All interactions with winit in Alacritty are handled through glutin.
2018-11-10 11:08:48 -05:00
- The keys F16-F24 have been added as options for key bindings
Changed path to standard /usr/bin/..., registered as an x-terminal-emulator alternative
2018-11-19 04:24:22 -05:00
- DEB file adds Alacritty as option to `update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator`
Add statusline capabilities to Terminfo
2018-10-14 18:23:54 -04:00
Rework cursor configuration There are a couple of cursor-related options in the Alacritty config file now, however they aren't grouped together in any way. To resolve this a new `cursor` field has been added where all cursor configuration options (besides colors) have been moved. The `custom_cursor_colors` option has also been removed, since it's not necessary anymore. Simply making the `colors.cursor.*` fields optional, allows overriding the cursor colors whenever one of them is present. Like that the user doesn't have to think about a relation between two separate configuration options. This PR initially put the `hide_cursor_when_typing` variable under `cursor.hide_when_typing`. However this field is completely unrelated to the cursor, but instead relates to the mouse cursor. Since the word `cursor` is already used for the active cell in the grid of a terminal emulator, all occurences of the word `cursor` when talking about the mouse have been replaced with the word `mouse`. The configuration option has also been moved to `mouse.hide_when_typing`, to make it clear what this option is changing. This fixes #1080.
2018-11-01 13:23:49 -04:00
### Changed
- The `colors.cursor.text` and `colors.cursor.cursor` fields are optional now
- Moved `cursor_style` to `cursor.style`
- Moved `unfocused_hollow_cursor` to `cursor.unfocused_hollow`
- Moved `hide_cursor_when_typing` to `mouse.hide_when_typing`
Fix mouse pasting in mouse mode with shift It is now possible to paste in mouse mode again by making use of the `shift` key while pressing the mouse button reserved for PasteSelection. All mouse bindings are now also matching the modifiers in a relaxed way, so extra modifiers are ignored.
2018-11-01 15:35:37 -04:00
- Mouse bindings now ignore additional modifiers
Center the grid inside the window Currently alacritty always puts the grid at the top-left position of the window. The only distance to the top-left window border is set by the padding in the config. However the grid always has a fixed size, and if a cell doesn't completely fit the screen anymore, the padding at the bottom right window corner can be significantly bigger than the padding at the top left. To fix this whenever there is more space left and there would usually be a bigger padding at the bottom right, the space is now split up and added to the padding. This should always center the grid inside the window and make sure all borders have the same padding from the text area. This screenshot shows how it has been until now: ![Before](https://u.teknik.io/kRJwg.png) Here is how it looks now: ![After](https://u.teknik.io/m4puV.png) This fixes #1065.
2018-11-11 15:24:41 -05:00
- Extra padding is now spread evenly around the terminal grid
Changed path to standard /usr/bin/..., registered as an x-terminal-emulator alternative
2018-11-19 04:24:22 -05:00
- DEB file installs to `usr/bin` instead of `usr/local/bin`

2018-11-01 13:23:49 -04:00
### Removed
- The `custom_cursor_colors` config field was deleted, remove the `colors.cursor.*` options
to achieve the same behavior as setting it to `false`
Add change log entry for `scale_with_dpi` setting
2018-11-14 15:37:54 -05:00
- The `scale_with_dpi` configuration value has been removed, on Linux the env
variable `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR=1` can be set instead to disable DPI scaling

- Fixed erroneous results when using the `indexed_colors` config option
Add support for rendering cursors to rusttype
2018-10-20 16:16:26 -04:00
- Fixed rendering cursors other than rectangular with the RustType backend
Fix rotation of selection below 0 Whenever the viewport is scrolled, the selection is rotated to make sure that it moves with the viewport. However this did not correctly handle the underflow that happens when the selection goes below 0. This resolves that problem for the selection by moving the internal line representation to an isize, thus correctly keeping track of the selection start/end points even when they have a negative index. Once the selection is converted to a span, the lines are clamped to the visible region. This fixes #1640 and fixes #1643.
2018-10-20 18:30:59 -04:00
- Selection memory leak and glitches in the alternate screen buffer
Add change log entry for configuration fix This updates the CHANGELOG.md to include information about the changes which have been made in #1634.
2018-10-31 18:19:59 -04:00
- Invalid default configuration on macOS and Linux
Fix mouse pasting in mouse mode with shift It is now possible to paste in mouse mode again by making use of the `shift` key while pressing the mouse button reserved for PasteSelection. All mouse bindings are now also matching the modifiers in a relaxed way, so extra modifiers are ignored.
2018-11-01 15:35:37 -04:00
- Middle mouse pasting if mouse mode is enabled
Fix selection while scrolling Properly update an active selection while scrolling the main scrollback buffer. This does not affect the alternate screen buffer, since no scrollback buffer is available.
2018-11-01 21:34:02 -04:00
- Selections now properly update as you scroll the scrollback buffer while selecting
Upgrade Glutin to v0.19.0 Some changes include: • Use the with_hardware_acceleration function on the ContextBuilder to not require the discrete GPU • Remove the LMenu and RMenu virtual key codes (winit 0.16.0 removed these because Windows now generates LAlt and RAlt instead • Replace set_cursor_state with hide_cursor (winit 0.16.0 removed the set_cursor_state function) • Replace GlWindow::hidpi_factor with GlWindow::get_hidpi_factor and change to expecting an f64 • Use the glutin/winit dpi size and position types where possible Glutin's dpi change event has been implemented.

2018-11-10 11:08:48 -05:00
- NUL character at the end of window titles
- DPI Scaling when moving windows across monitors
- On macOS, issues with Command-[KEY] and Control-Tab keybindings have been fixed
- Incorrect number of columns/lines when using the `window.dimensions` option
- On Wayland, windows will no longer be spawned outside of the visible region
- Resizing of windows without decorations
- On Wayland, key repetition works again
- On macOS, Alacritty will now use the integrated GPU again when available
Set env variables before window start The environment variables specified in the configuration file are now all set before the window is created. As a result, this makes it possible to add the `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR` env variable directly to the Alacritty configuration. This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/1768.
2018-11-11 07:55:28 -05:00
- On Linux, the `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR` environment variable can be set from the config now

Version 0.2.1
2018-10-03 11:13:14 -04:00
## Version 0.2.1
Set COLORTERM variable to advertise 24-bit support Set `COLORTERM` to `truecolor` in order for applications to be able to detect that alacritty supports 24-bit colors. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for more details. Closes #1526.
2018-09-17 16:32:08 -04:00
### Added
Add hidden escape sequence This adds support for the `hidden` escape sequence `\e[8m`, which will render the text as invisible. This has also raised a few questions about the rendering of foreground and background colors and their interaction with the different escape sequences. Previously, Alacritty has oriented itself after URxvt, which has some strange and unexpected behavior. The new implementation of color inversion is modeled after XTerm, which has a consistent pattern of always inverting the foreground and background colors. This should hopefully lead to less confusion for the user and a more consistent behavior. A full matrix showcasing the new way Alacritty inverses text can be found here: https://i.imgur.com/d1XavG7.png This fixes #1454 and fixes #1455.
2018-09-19 15:18:51 -04:00
- Implement the `hidden` escape sequence (`echo -e "\e[8mTEST"`)
Opt-in to macOS Mojave Dark Mode macOS 10.14 will bring a new system wide dark mode. To enable this, the [official guides][] suggest to relink using the newest OS. This approach, however, did not work for me as described in [an issue][] in the glutin repository. As a second option, the accompanying `Info.plist` file can also overwrite the link-time check and enable dark mode rendering if the system config is set by setting `NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance` to `YES`. This approach seems to work flawlessly no matter if a user opts into dark mode or not. I would appreciate it if someone can test this on macOS 10.13 as well, but I suppose the key there is unused and would not break anything. [official guides]: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/appkit_release_notes_for_macos_10.14_beta [an issue]: https://github.com/tomaka/glutin/issues/1053#issuecomment-409315461
2018-09-18 16:27:40 -04:00
- Add support for macOS systemwide dark mode
Set COLORTERM variable to advertise 24-bit support Set `COLORTERM` to `truecolor` in order for applications to be able to detect that alacritty supports 24-bit colors. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for more details. Closes #1526.
2018-09-17 16:32:08 -04:00
- Set the environment variable `COLORTERM="truecolor"` to advertise 24-bit color support
Improve window.decorations options: (#1241) The decorations config was changed from a bool to an enum. `full` has taken the place of `true`, and `none`, has replaced `false`. On macOS, there are now options for `transparent` and `buttonless`. These options are explained in both the CHANGELOG and in the configuration files.
2018-09-20 11:24:26 -04:00
- On macOS, there are two new values for the config option `window.decorations`:
- `transparent` - This makes the title bar transparent and allows the
viewport to extend to the top of the window.
- `buttonless` - Similar to transparent but also removed the buttons.
Implement config option for term colors 16..256 This adds a config option which allows setting terminal colors above the 0..16 range. Live config reload already works for this, so it is possible to change these colors the same way it works with the normal colors. If a color below 16 is specified, the configuration will throw an error, so the normal colors can't be overridden. This is just to prevent possible complications with the settings that already exist.
2018-09-23 19:05:15 -04:00
- Add support for changing the colors from 16 to 256 in the `indexed_colors` config section
Allow copying selection to primary clipboard A new configuration option `save_to_clipboard` has been added to the `selection` section of the configuration. This allows writing every selection to the primary system clipboard when it is set to `true`. On linux the selection is still written to the selection clipboard, independent of the value of the `save_to_clipboard` setting.
2018-09-24 08:12:45 -04:00
- Add `save_to_clipboard` configuration option for copying selected text to the system clipboard
Add standalone terminfo definition This replaces the current definitions, which depend on the system's 'xterm-256color' terminfo definition with the `alacritty` and `alacritty-direct` definitions. The new definitions are completely standalone. The default `TERM` value has been changed to be dynamically set based on the definitions installed on the system. Alacritty will try to use the `alacritty` definition first and fall back to `xterm-256color` if the `alacritty` definition is not present.
2018-09-24 15:06:12 -04:00
- New terminfo entry, `alacritty-direct`, that advertises 24-bit color support
Implement CNL and CPL escape codes (#1590)
2018-09-26 13:38:41 -04:00
- Add support for CSI sequences Cursor Next Line (`\e[nE`) and Cursor Previous Line (`\e[nF`)
Set COLORTERM variable to advertise 24-bit support Set `COLORTERM` to `truecolor` in order for applications to be able to detect that alacritty supports 24-bit colors. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for more details. Closes #1526.

Acknowledge first click on unfocused windows with bsd/linux Fixes a regression on non-macOS platforms caused by the fix for issue #1291. The fix is to follow platform norms for mouse click behavior on unfocused terminals. On macOS, the first click (that gives the window focus) is swallowed, and has no effect on the terminal. On all other platforms, the first click is passed through to the terminal.
2018-09-17 16:00:42 -04:00
### Changed
Add hidden escape sequence This adds support for the `hidden` escape sequence `\e[8m`, which will render the text as invisible. This has also raised a few questions about the rendering of foreground and background colors and their interaction with the different escape sequences. Previously, Alacritty has oriented itself after URxvt, which has some strange and unexpected behavior. The new implementation of color inversion is modeled after XTerm, which has a consistent pattern of always inverting the foreground and background colors. This should hopefully lead to less confusion for the user and a more consistent behavior. A full matrix showcasing the new way Alacritty inverses text can be found here: https://i.imgur.com/d1XavG7.png This fixes #1454 and fixes #1455.
2018-09-19 15:18:51 -04:00
- Inverse/Selection color is now modelled after XTerm/VTE instead of URxvt to improve consistency
Acknowledge first click on unfocused windows with bsd/linux Fixes a regression on non-macOS platforms caused by the fix for issue #1291. The fix is to follow platform norms for mouse click behavior on unfocused terminals. On macOS, the first click (that gives the window focus) is swallowed, and has no effect on the terminal. On all other platforms, the first click is passed through to the terminal.
2018-09-17 16:00:42 -04:00
- First click on unfocused Alacritty windows is no longer ignored on platforms other than macOS
Dynamically initialize grid storage Previously Alacritty has initialized all lines in the buffer as soon as it is started. This had the effect that terminals which aren't making use of the scrollback buffer yet, would still consume large amounts of memory, potentially even freezing the system at startup. To resolve this problem, the grid is now dynamically resized in chunks of `1000` rows. The initial size is just the visible area itself, then every time lines are written to the terminal emulator, the grid storage is grown when required. With the worst-case scenario of having 100_000 lines scrollback configured, this change improves startup performance at the cost of scrolling performance. On my machine the startup changes from ~0.3 to ~0.2 seconds. The scrolling performance with large throughput is not affected, however it is slowed down when the number of lines scrolled are close to the 100_000 configured as scrollback. The most taxing benchmark I've found for this was running `yes | dd count=500 > 500.txt` (note the relatively small file size). This will cause a slowdown on the first run from 0.05s to 0.15s. While this is significant, it lines up with the time saved at startup. This fixes #1236.
2018-09-24 14:40:09 -04:00
- Reduce memory usage significantly by only initializing part of the scrollback buffer at startup
Add standalone terminfo definition This replaces the current definitions, which depend on the system's 'xterm-256color' terminfo definition with the `alacritty` and `alacritty-direct` definitions. The new definitions are completely standalone. The default `TERM` value has been changed to be dynamically set based on the definitions installed on the system. Alacritty will try to use the `alacritty` definition first and fall back to `xterm-256color` if the `alacritty` definition is not present.
2018-09-24 15:06:12 -04:00
- The `alacritty` terminfo entry no longer requires the `xterm` definition to be
present on the system
- The default `TERM` value is no longer static; the `alacritty` entry is used if
available, otherwise the `xterm-256color` entry is used instead
### Removed
- The terminfo entry `alacritty-256color`. It is replaced by the `alacritty`
entry (which also advertises 256 colors)

Show hollow cursor for windows starting unfocused Alacritty made the assumption that every window started as focused and because of that the hollow cursor wouldn't show up for windows which are launched without focus. Since even the initial focus should be reported as a focus event by winit, this could be easily fixed just setting the default window state to unfocused instead of focused. This fixes #1563.
2018-09-19 17:37:37 -04:00
### Fixed
Drop terminal lock before rendering The terminal lock is now dropped before rendering by storing all grid cells before clearing the screen. This frees the terminal to do other things since the lock is now free, which lead to a performance benefit with high throughput applications.
2018-09-30 17:54:08 -04:00
- Rendering now occurs without the terminal locked which improves performance
Fix mesa rendering outside window borders on wayland The mesa workaround has lead to some issues with rendering on Wayland. To resolve this problem, the mesa workaround has been restructured in a way which still allows clearing the screen before rendering without killing performance with the mesa driver. The performance is identical to the master brach and there have been no recorded regressions.
2018-09-23 12:21:47 -04:00
- Clear screen properly before rendering of content to prevent various graphical glitches
Add changelog entry for 32-bit fix
2018-09-19 20:05:30 -04:00
- Fix build failure on 32-bit systems
Show hollow cursor for windows starting unfocused Alacritty made the assumption that every window started as focused and because of that the hollow cursor wouldn't show up for windows which are launched without focus. Since even the initial focus should be reported as a focus event by winit, this could be easily fixed just setting the default window state to unfocused instead of focused. This fixes #1563.
2018-09-19 17:37:37 -04:00
- Windows started as unfocused now show the hollow cursor if the setting is enabled
Fix selection of empty lines When selecting multiple lines in Alacritty, there was an issue with empty lines not being copied. This behavior has been chanaged so empty lines should be correctly copied now. When copying content which ends with an empty line, Alacritty would copy an additional empty line. This has been resolved by only adding empty lines when the empty line was not in the last selected line.
2018-09-26 14:42:41 -04:00
- Empty lines in selections are now properly copied to the clipboard
Fix selection start point lagging behind cursor Since the mouse start position has been the first movement event after the mouse button was held down, there have been some issues with the start point lagging behind the cursor because movement events were not reported from the initial position but there was a gap until movement starts reporting. To fix this whenever the mouse button is pressed, the position and cell side is stored on the `Mouse` struct. Because of this it does not matter anymore if the movement events are all reported and we can just start a selection using the stored position/side whenever there currently is no selection present. This fixes #1366
2018-09-27 08:12:49 -04:00
- Selection start point lagging behind initial cursor position
Fix rendering of selections outside the viewport When rendering selections with both start and end outside of the visible area, Alacritty would assume that both start and end are either above or below the viewport and not render the selection at all. To fix this the `buffer_line_to_visible` method now returns a `ViewportPosition` instead of an `Option<Line>`, this allows giving more feedback about where outside of the visible region the line is using the `ViewportPosition::Above` and `ViewportPosition::Below` variants. Using these newly introduced variants, a selection spanning the whole screen is now rendered if the selection should go from above the visible area to below it. This fixes #1557.
2018-09-28 18:07:24 -04:00
- Rendering of selections which start above the visible area and end below it
Show hollow cursor for windows starting unfocused Alacritty made the assumption that every window started as focused and because of that the hollow cursor wouldn't show up for windows which are launched without focus. Since even the initial focus should be reported as a focus event by winit, this could be easily fixed just setting the default window state to unfocused instead of focused. This fixes #1563.
2018-09-19 17:37:37 -04:00
Improve window.decorations options: (#1241) The decorations config was changed from a bool to an enum. `full` has taken the place of `true`, and `none`, has replaced `false`. On macOS, there are now options for `transparent` and `buttonless`. These options are explained in both the CHANGELOG and in the configuration files.
2018-09-20 11:24:26 -04:00
### Deprecated
- The config option `window.decorations` should now use `full` or `none` instead
of `true` or `false`, respectively.
Fix CHANGELOG.md The bracketed paste mode change isn't so much a fix as it is a change to address a potential security issue.
2018-09-20 11:25:28 -04:00
### Security
- Bracketed paste mode now filters escape sequences beginning with \x1b
Bump version in CHANGELOG
2018-09-17 10:56:58 -04:00
## Version 0.2.0
Bump version number to 0.2.0 (#1492) * Change deb installation from crates.io to git There have been a number of issues an PRs opened since the cargo-deb installation does not work with the latest version from crates.io. To help out users until the crates.io version is updated, the installation instructions have been temporarily changed to install `cargo-deb` through github. * Revert cargo-deb install back to use crates.io Since `cargo-deb` has been updated on crates.io it is now possible to just install it from crates.io and build Alacritty's deb without having to rely on github. * Update dependencies This fixes an `illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)` error when building in release mode. * Remove redundant copy when selecting font_key * Bump version number to 0.2.0 Since the Scrollback branch introduces some major changes, this bumps the version number from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0. The versions of Alacritty have not been updated regularly to this point, so the scrollback branch is a good point in time to start updating Alacritty's version on a regular basis. Further changes to the readme, like dropping the 'alpha' status and updating it to 'beta' could also be introduced with this branch. This way there will be a clean cut which updates everything as soon as scrollback is merged. Building versions is another thing which would be a good thing to start reasonably quickly. However starting this on the main branch after scrollback has been merged seems like a more reliable way to move forward. This fixes #1240. * Add a CHANGELOG file A CHANGELOG file has been added to offer a bit more transparency over which features have been changed, added and potentially removed in Alacritty. There are various formats available for the CHANGELOG file but the most common and sensible one seems to be the one defined by https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0. Following the template proposed by this it should be possible to create a clear CHANGELOG which makes it simple for new contributors to figure out exactly which formatting should be used for it. Since there have been quite a few changes to Alacritty already, not all changes have been added to the changelog. However a few entries have been ported just to give a bit of an example what the format should look like. This also helps with the 0.2.0 version since it will not be completely empty in the changelog. This fixes #1534. * Update CHANGELOG This updates the CHANGELOG to include the changes introduced by 43882ade33d4c14ee7248e489a2d33395faaa0b1.
