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.

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
- DEB file adds Alacritty as option to `update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator`
### 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`
- Mouse bindings now ignore additional modifiers
- Extra padding is now spread evenly around the terminal grid
- DEB file installs to `usr/bin` instead of `usr/local/bin`
### Removed
- The `custom_cursor_colors` config field was deleted, remove the `colors.cursor.*` options
to achieve the same behavior as setting it to `false`
- 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
2018-10-07 17:10:58 -04:00
### Fixed
2018-10-07 17:10:58 -04:00
- Fixed erroneous results when using the `indexed_colors` config option
- Fixed rendering cursors other than rectangular with the RustType backend
- Selection memory leak and glitches in the alternate screen buffer
- Invalid default configuration on macOS and Linux
- Middle mouse pasting if mouse mode is enabled
- 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.

2018-10-03 11:13:14 -04:00
## Version 0.2.1
### Added
- Implement the `hidden` escape sequence (`echo -e "\e[8mTEST"`)
- Add support for macOS systemwide dark mode
- Set the environment variable `COLORTERM="truecolor"` to advertise 24-bit color support
- 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.
- Add support for changing the colors from 16 to 256 in the `indexed_colors` config section
- Add `save_to_clipboard` configuration option for copying selected text to the system clipboard
- New terminfo entry, `alacritty-direct`, that advertises 24-bit color support
- Add support for CSI sequences Cursor Next Line (`\e[nE`) and Cursor Previous Line (`\e[nF`)
### Changed
- Inverse/Selection color is now modelled after XTerm/VTE instead of URxvt to improve consistency
- First click on unfocused Alacritty windows is no longer ignored on platforms other than macOS
- Reduce memory usage significantly by only initializing part of the scrollback buffer at startup
- 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)
### Fixed
- Rendering now occurs without the terminal locked which improves performance
- Clear screen properly before rendering of content to prevent various graphical glitches
2018-09-19 20:05:30 -04:00
- Fix build failure on 32-bit systems
- Windows started as unfocused now show the hollow cursor if the setting is enabled
- Empty lines in selections are now properly copied to the clipboard
- Selection start point lagging behind initial cursor position
- Rendering of selections which start above the visible area and end below it
### Deprecated
- The config option `window.decorations` should now use `full` or `none` instead
of `true` or `false`, respectively.
### Security
- Bracketed paste mode now filters escape sequences beginning with \x1b

## 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.
