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.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

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

  • 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
  • Improve text scrolling performance (affects applications like yes, not scrolling the history)

Fixed

  • Clear the visible region when the RIS escape sequence (echo -ne '\033c') is received
  • Prevent logger from crashing Alacritty when stdout/stderr is not available
  • Fix a crash when sending the IL escape sequence with a large number of lines
