The general style for errors, warnings and info messages is to start
with a capitalized letter and end without a period. The main exception
is when dealing with nouns that are clearer with special case handling,
e.g. "macOS failed to work" or "ioctl is borked".
To make sure that CI builds produced by Travis work on all supported
versions of macOS and building Alacritty works on all supported
versions, the minimum macOS version has been set in the Makefile.
This sets the minimum macOS version to `10.11` as a reasonable
estimation based on other applications. If the exact version chosen
turns out to cause some issues, it can be changed in the future.
Various special characters and character combinations were not handled
correctly with URL detection. All these instances have been resolved and
covered by various tests to prevent future regressions.
Notable fixes include single quotes working more properly now (like
`'https://example.org'`) and IPv6 URL support.
Since URL detection is now more than just a few lines of code and it's
mostly unrelated to the `Term`, it has also been extracted into the
`src/url.rs` file together with all URL-related tests.
This limits the number of allowed schemes for the URL launcher, to
reduce the number of false-positives.
The accepted URL schemes are now:
- http
- https
- mailto
- news
- file
- git
- ssh
- ftp
This fixes#1727.
Some characters were not correctly stripped from the end of URLs with
the URL launching feature. The list of URL separator characters has been
extended to include '<', '>', '"', ' ', '{', '}', '|', '\\', '^' and
'`', following the URL specification defined here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3987#page-13
Additionally, a list of characters which are always stripped from the
end of URLs has been setup to contain '.', ',', ';', ':', '?', '!', and
'/'.
This fixes#1753.
The 2d9afb9b39 commit lead to mouse
actions being triggered on both press and release of mouse buttons.
This reverts the mouse binding behavior back to the previous state where
they are only triggered when the button is pressed, not when it's
released.
The `mouse_input` method's structure was overly complicated and did not
accurately represent the logic which should be implemented by it. This
is likely what caused the regression in 2d9afb9b39.
To prevent similar issues from popping up in the future, the method has
been cleaned up and the structure should now represent the logic
required more logically.
To allow for a mouse binding to properly copy text, we should process
the mouse binding actions before thee built-in functionality, which will
clear the selection on right click, for example.
Update the Windows shell settings and comments so they look familiar to
Windows users, but comment out the shell settings for consistency with
Linux and Mac.
Stop checking COMSPEC when the configuration file does not specify which
shell to use, and just default to PowerShell.
Since bitmap fonts do not provide their own underline metrics, the
self-calculated metrics which have been used for rusttype are now also
used for bitmap fonts with freetype.
The rusttype and bitmap fallback metrics have incorrectly offset the
underline by the underline height. Since the position is already defined
as the center point, that is not necessary.
All rounding and clamping has also been removed from the font library,
so that the raw values are reported now. The clamping and rounding is
now done in the line renderer.
Since completely empty cells are not reported by the renderable cells
iterator, the line renderer has incorrectly assumed that these cells did
not cause any change in cell state, leading to underlines spanning empty
cells.
Instead of assuming that the line state is unchanged, the line
calculation now correctly interprets a jump in the renderable cells
column as an interruption of the line.
This fixes#1960.
Alacritty is often spawned through the executable on
Windows. Since this doesn't allow access to the stderr
and crashes on startup are more common on Windows
due to the agent, it can be hard to troubleshoot issues.
This reports all Alacritty crashes through error popups
on Windows, which should resolve the problem of
crashing Alacritty instances without any error feedback.
This makes use of the new rectangle rendering methods used to display
the colored visual bell to add proper underline and strikeout support to
Alacritty.
This adds the option to specify the color of the visual bell using the
`visual_bell.color` configuration setting.
This is done by rendering a big quad over the entire screen, which also
opens up options to draw other arbitrary rectangles on the screen in the
future.
This resolves issues with copy-pasting tabs by including them in the
pasted string.
Selection of tabs is still inconsistent with what might be expected
based on other terminal emulators, however the behavior hasn't
regressed.
This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/219.
Certain programs like `htop` have problems with the number
of color pairs which are specified by the Alacritty terminfo
file.
By reducing the maximum number of color pairs to the value
which is specified by xterm-256color, these issues are
resolved.
This fixes#1862.
Instead of rendering zero-width characters as full characters, they are
now properly rendered without advancing the cursor.
Because of performance limitations, this implementation only supports up
to 5 zero-width characters per cell. However, as a result of this
limitation there should not be any performance impact.
This fixes#1317, fixes#696 and closes#1318.
This includes some changes to the scripts `README.md` to provide
some more information on the different Alacritty scripts.
A new script for testing the 24 bit support of Alacritty has been
added with the `24-bit-color.sh` name. This should help with
troubleshooting truecolor support issues.
Since `perf` is a standard tool which is available in the official
repositories for most distributions, it doesn't make much sense to
provide an installation script specifically for Ubuntu. As a result of
this, the script has been removed.
Due to the lazy initialization of lines in the Alacritty history, the
recording of ref tests was broken. Because a WM would often resize the
ref test window after it was spawned, some additional lines were
initialized in the stored ref test.
To make sure lazy initialization does not play any role in the recording
and replaying of reftests, before recording and replaying the tests, the
complete grid is initialized and then truncated. This should make sure
that only the relevant lines are kept.
