Due to unsoundness issues (c.f., time-rs/time#380 and time-rs/time#293),
determining the local timezone can only happen while single-threaded.
Determine the timezone early in startup and apply the offset to the UTC
timestamp before formatting.
Previously Alacritty would always initialize only a single terminal
emulator window feeding into the winit event loop, however some
platforms like macOS expect all windows to be spawned by the same
process and this "daemon-mode" can also come with the advantage of
increased memory efficiency.
The event loop has been restructured to handle all window-specific
events only by the event processing context with the associated window
id. This makes it possible to add new terminal windows at any time using
the WindowContext::new function call.
Some preliminary tests have shown that for empty terminals, this reduces
the cost of additional terminal emulators from ~100M to ~6M. However at
this point the robustness of the daemon against issues with individual
terminals has not been refined, making the reliability of this system
questionable.
New windows can be created either by using the new `CreateNewWindow`
action, or with the `alacritty msg create-window` subcommand. The
subcommand sends a message to an IPC socket which Alacritty listens on,
its location can be found in the `ALACRITTY_SOCKET` environment
variable.
Fixes#607.
In this change I went through all current rustfmt configuration options
and expanded our existing configuration with overrides whenever deemed
appropriate.
The `normalize_doc_attributes` option is still unstable, but seems to
work without any issues. Even when passing macros like `include_str!`
that is recognized properly and not normalized. So while this wasn't an
issue anywhere in the code, it should make sure it never will be.
When it comes to imports there are two new major additions. The
`imports_granularity` and `group_imports` options. Both mostly just
incorporate unwritten rules that have existed in Alacritty for a long
time. Unfortunately since `alacritty_terminal` imports in `alacritty`
are supposed to be separate blocks, the `group_imports` option cannot be
used.
While structopt also uses clap under the hood, the configuration through
annotations allows for significantly more maintainable and concise CLI
definition.
This will also make it far easier to have platform-specific options,
which is problematic with clap since no individual methods can be
removed from its builder.
The change in Alacritty's CLI has been kept to a minimum with the only
significant changes being the `--version` flag listed before the
`-v` flag and the authors all on the same line.
This replaces the existing `Deserialize` derive from serde with a
`ConfigDeserialize` derive. The goal of this new proc macro is to allow
a more error-friendly deserialization for the Alacritty configuration
file without having to manage a lot of boilerplate code inside the
configuration modules.
The first part of the derive macro is for struct deserialization. This
takes structs which have `Default` implemented and will only replace
fields which can be successfully deserialized. Otherwise the `log` crate
is used for printing errors. Since this deserialization takes the
default value from the struct instead of the value, it removes the
necessity for creating new types just to implement `Default` on them for
deserialization.
Additionally, the struct deserialization also checks for `Option` values
and makes sure that explicitly specifying `none` as text literal is
allowed for all options.
The other part of the derive macro is responsible for deserializing
enums. While only enums with Unit variants are supported, it will
automatically implement a deserializer for these enums which accepts any
form of capitalization.
Since this custom derive prevents us from using serde's attributes on
fields, some of the attributes have been reimplemented for
`ConfigDeserialize`. These include `#[config(flatten)]`,
`#[config(skip)]` and `#[config(alias = "alias)]`. The flatten attribute
is currently limited to at most one per struct.
Additionally the `#[config(deprecated = "optional message")]` attribute
allows easily defining uniform deprecation messages for fields on
structs.
This patch makes sure that the message for the creation of a log file is
always the first entry, before any other log file messages.
Since we initialize our log file dynamically, the message is printed as
soon as something is written to it. By making sure that we always write
to a file first and then try stdout, we can ensure that the log file is
always initialized before ever writing log messages to stdout.
This commit completes the effort to use config colors for
message bar content by picking red/yellow from user's
colors.normal.{red,yellow} for error/warning messages
instead of fixed colors.
It also removes alacritty_terminal::term::color::RED and
alacritty_terminal::term::color::YELLOW from the alacritty_terminal API,
bumping its version to 0.11.0-dev.
Fixes#4116.
This commit removes font dependency from alacritty_terminal,
so it'll simplify the usage of alacritty_terminal as a library,
since you won't link to system's libraries anymore. It also
moves many alacritty related config options from it.
Fixes#3393.
This adds a new `Scheduler` which allows for staging events to be
processed at a later time.
If there is a selection active and the mouse is above or below the
window, the viewport will now scroll torwards the direction of the
mouse. The amount of lines scrolled depends on the distance of the mouse
to the boundaries used for selection scrolling.
To make it possible to scroll while in fullscreen, the selection
scrolling area includes the padding of the window and is at least 5
pixels high in case there is not enough padding present.
Keeping the license as part of every file bloats up the files
unnecessarily and introduces an additional overhead to the creation of
new modules.
Since cargo already provides excellent dependency management, most of
the code-reuse of Alacritty should occur through Rust's dependency
management instead of copying it source.
If code is copied partially, copying the license from the main license
file should be just as easy as copying from the top of the file and
making some adjustments based on where it is used is likely necessary
anyways.
The env logger has been broken for over a year and is not used by anyone
as far as I know. This removes this option entirely in favor of
Alacritty's built-in logger level selection flags.
This reverts commit 7f4dce2ee0.
Originally it was assumed that macOS always sends the \x7f on backspace
anyways, however this is not true. It seems like the character on
backspace can change even within the same terminal session, so we need
to have our own binding to reliably set the correct binding.
A solution for #1606 should be implemented in cooperation with winit.
It was discovered that we were logging path with `\\` instead of `\` as
separators on Windows due to use of Debug formatting instead of Display
for paths.
This takes the latest glutin master to port Alacritty to the EventLoop
2.0 rework.
This changes a big part of the event loop handling by pushing the event
loop in a separate thread from the renderer and running both in
parallel.

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.
