To make sure that all error and information reporting to the user is
unified, all instances of `print!`, `eprint!`, `println!` and
`eprintln!` have been removed and replaced by logging.
When `RUST_LOG` is not specified, the default Alacritty logger now also
prints to both the stderr and a log file. The log file is only created
when a message is written to it and its name is printed to stdout the
first time it is used.
Whenever a warning or an error has been written to the log file/stderr,
a message is now displayed in Alacritty which points to the log file
where the full error is documented.
The message is cleared whenever the screen is cleared using either the
`clear` command or the `Ctrl+L` key binding.
To make sure that log files created by root don't prevent normal users
from interacting with them, the Alacritty log file is `/tmp/Alacritty-$PID.log`.
Since it's still possible that the log file can't be created, the UI
error/warning message now informs the user if the message was only
written to stderr. The reason why it couldn't be created is then printed
to stderr.
To make sure the deletion of the log file at runtime doesn't create any
issues, the file is re-created if a write is attempted without the file
being present.
To help with debugging Alacritty issues, a timestamp and the error
level are printed in all log messages.
All log messages now follow this format:
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] [LEVEL] Message
Since it's not unusual to spawn a lot of different terminal emulators
without restarting, Alacritty can create a ton of different log files.
To combat this problem, logfiles are removed by default after
Alacritty has been closed. If the user wants to persist the log of a
single session, the `--persistent_logging` option can be used. For
persisting all log files, the `persistent_logging` option can be set in
the configuration file

|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
- NUL character at the end of window titles
|
|
- DPI Scaling when moving windows across monitors
|
|
- On macOS, issues with Command-[KEY] and Control-Tab keybindings have been fixed
|
|
- Incorrect number of columns/lines when using the `window.dimensions` option
|
|
- On Wayland, windows will no longer be spawned outside of the visible region
|
|
- Resizing of windows without decorations
|
|
- On Wayland, key repetition works again
|
|
- On macOS, Alacritty will now use the integrated GPU again when available
|
|
- On Linux, the `WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR` environment variable can be set from the config now
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
|
|
- Add a scrollback history buffer (10_000 lines by default)
|
|
- CHANGELOG has been added for documenting relevant user-facing changes
|
|
- Add `ClearHistory` key binding action and the `Erase Saved Lines` control sequence
|
|
- When growing the window height, Alacritty will now try to load additional lines out of the
|
|
scrollback history
|
|
- Support the dim foreground color (`echo -e '\033[2mDimmed Text'`)
|
|
- Add support for the LCD-V pixel mode (vertical screens)
|
|
- Pressing enter on the numpad should now insert a newline
|
|
- The mouse bindings now support keyboard modifiers (shift/ctrl/alt/super)
|
|
- Add support for the bright foreground color
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
|
|
- Multiple key/mouse bindings for a single key will now all be executed instead of picking one and
|
|
ignoring the rest

|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
|
|

|
|
