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.

Add statusline capabilities to Terminfo
2018-10-14 22:23:54 +00:00
### Added
Add support for Windows (#1374) Initial support for Windows is implemented using the winpty translation layer. Clipboard support for Windows is provided through the `clipboard` crate, and font rasterization is provided by RustType. The tty.rs file has been split into OS-specific files to separate standard pty handling from the winpty implementation. Several binary components are fetched via build script on windows including libclang and winpty. These could be integrated more directly in the future either by building those dependencies as part of the Alacritty build process or by leveraging git lfs to store the artifacts. Fixes #28.
2018-10-16 17:02:52 +00:00
- Add support for windows
Add statusline capabilities to Terminfo
2018-10-14 22:23:54 +00:00
- 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 18:46:26 +00:00
- Allow using scancodes in the key_bindings section
Fix change log entry for URL clicking
2018-10-22 19:41:34 +00:00
- 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
Add statusline capabilities to Terminfo
2018-10-14 22:23:54 +00:00
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 17:23:49 +00:00
### 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 19:35:37 +00:00
- Mouse bindings now ignore additional modifiers

### Removed
- The `custom_cursor_colors` config field was deleted, remove the `colors.cursor.*` options
to achieve the same behavior as setting it to `false`
fix erroneous indexed_color results
2018-10-07 21:10:58 +00:00

fix erroneous indexed_color results
2018-10-07 21:10:58 +00:00
- Fixed erroneous results when using the `indexed_colors` config option
Add support for rendering cursors to rusttype
2018-10-20 20:16:26 +00:00
- 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 22:30:59 +00:00
- 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 22:19:59 +00:00
- 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 19:35:37 +00:00

Version 0.2.1
2018-10-03 15:13:14 +00:00
## 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 20:32:08 +00:00
### 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 19:18:51 +00:00
- 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 20:27:40 +00:00
- 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 20:32:08 +00:00
- 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 15:24:26 +00:00
- 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 23:05:15 +00:00
- 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 12:12:45 +00:00
- 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 19:06:12 +00:00
- New terminfo entry, `alacritty-direct`, that advertises 24-bit color support
Implement CNL and CPL escape codes (#1590)
2018-09-26 17:38:41 +00:00
- 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 20:00:42 +00:00

2018-09-19 19:18:51 +00:00
- 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 20:00:42 +00:00
- 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 18:40:09 +00:00
- 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 19:06:12 +00:00
- 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)
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 20:00:42 +00:00
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 21:37:37 +00:00
### 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 21:54:08 +00:00
- 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 16:21:47 +00:00
- Clear screen properly before rendering of content to prevent various graphical glitches
Add changelog entry for 32-bit fix
2018-09-20 00:05:30 +00:00
- 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 21:37:37 +00:00
- 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 18:42:41 +00:00
- 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 12:12:49 +00:00
- 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 22:07:24 +00:00
- 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 21:37:37 +00:00
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 15:24:26 +00:00
### 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 15:25:28 +00:00
### Security
- Bracketed paste mode now filters escape sequences beginning with \x1b
Bump version in CHANGELOG

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.

### Changed
Bump version in CHANGELOG
2018-09-17 14:56:58 +00:00
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.

- Multiple key/mouse bindings for a single key will now all be executed instead of picking one and
ignoring the rest
- Improve text scrolling performance (affects applications like `yes`, not scrolling the history)
