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.

Set `COLORTERM` to `truecolor` in order for applications to be able to
detect that alacritty supports 24-bit colors.

Closes#1526.
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.
* 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
43882ade33.
