missing features and bugs to be fixed, but it is already used by many as a daily
driver.
Precompiled binaries are available for Windows through [appveyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jwilm/alacritty).
Precompiled binaries for other platforms are minimally blocked on a stable config format. For now, Alacritty must be
