2022-11-03Update glutin to 0.30.0Kirill Chibisov
The glutin 0.30.0 update decouples glutin from winit which provides us with basis for a multithreaded renderer. This also improves robustness of our configuration picking, context creation, and surface handling. As an example we're now able to start on systems without a vsync, we don't try to build lots of contexts to check if some config works, and so on. That also brings us possibility to handle context losses, but that's a future work. Fixes #1268.
2022-10-26Update winit to 0.27.5Kirill Chibisov
Fixes #6396.
2022-10-26Bump crossfont and sctk-adwaitaKirill Chibisov
Fixes #6432. Fixes #6414. Fixes #6400. Fixes #6338.
2022-10-22Fix startup failure on macOS with dash as /bin/shKirill Chibisov
The dash's exec doesn't have `-a` argument we rely on when running login shell, so use zsh instead. Fixes #6426.
2022-10-21Fix crash with very low font sizesKirill Chibisov
Fixes #6432.
2022-10-21Fix cursor and underlines always being blackKirill Chibisov
Some old hardware doesn't like universal shader approach for all the rectangle kinds leading to ALU instruction limits. This commit fixes it by splitting the shader per rectangle kind. Fixes #6417.
2022-10-18Fix `--help` output for `--class` to match man pagesAndrzej Grzeslak
The output of --help did not match the man pages with regards to the ordering of arguments for the --class flag. This has now been fixed. Fixes #6413.
2022-10-14Fix changelog versioningChristian Duerr
2022-09-03Bump development version to 0.12.0-devChristian Duerr
This is only an update to the development version and does not represent a stable release.
2022-08-29Add inline input method supportKirill Chibisov
This commit adds support for inline IME handling. It also makes the search bar use underline cursor instead of using '_' character. Fixes #1613.
2022-08-25Rework `--class` CLI optionKirill Chibisov
This commit swaps the order of `general` and `instance` arguments and also sets `instance` to `general` when only one argument was provided. This should make this option behave like in other terminals on X11, since they set either both or general by default, but not instance like Alacritty. Fixes #6279.
2022-08-13Bump winit to 0.27.2Kirill Chibisov
2022-08-11Use `WindowEvent::Occluded` to hint renderingtrimental
This should prevent rendering on macOS and X11 to invisible windows.
2022-08-10Bump glutin to 0.29.1Kirill Chibisov
Fixes #6239. Fixes #5975. Fixes #5876. Fixes #5767. Fixes #4484. Fixes #3139.

2022-07-24Register Alacritty shells as tty sessions on macOSChris Copeland
Unless the `shell` config is specified, launch the user's shell with: ```sh login -flp $USER /bin/sh -c "exec -a -shell /path/to/shell" ``` On macOS, just running a shell prefixed by `-` is not sufficient to be registered as a login session for things like `w` and `logname`. However, using the `login` command changes the directory to `$HOME` before running the program by default, which is not desired. The `-l` flag disables this behavior, but also skips prepending `-` to the executed program, so shells will not run as login shells. Instead we just do this part ourselves with `exec -a`. The result is login shells that run in the intended directory and are registered as tty sessions. Fixes #3420.
2022-07-15Fix thin strokes on macOSChris Copeland
Remove the `font.use_thin_strokes` config, which only did anything on macOS and only prior to Big Sur. Instead, we will enable or disable "font smoothing" on macOS based on the `AppleFontSmoothing` user default. These changes let users get the "thin strokes" behavior by setting `AppleFontSmoothing` to 0 with: ```sh $ defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0 ``` (Or replace `-g` with `org.alacritty` to apply this setting only to Alacritty.app, rather than the whole system.) Add a `removed` config attribute to show helpful warnings to users who are using config options that don't do anything anymore, and apply this attribute to `font.use_thin_strokes`. Bump `crossfont` to 0.5.0 to pick up the new font smoothing behavior. This release also includes a fix for a crash when trying to load a disabled font. Fixes #4616. Fixes #6108.
2022-07-10Use org.alacritty instead of io.alacrittyKirill Chibisov
The common naming is reverse DNS, and given that alacritty is using alacritty.org it makes more sense to use org.alacritty instead of old io.alacritty.
2022-07-10Add support for hyperlink escape sequenceKirill Chibisov
This commit adds support for hyperlink escape sequence `OSC 8 ; params ; URI ST`. The configuration option responsible for those is `hints.enabled.hyperlinks`. Fixes #922.
2022-07-10Fix error when opening in root dir on WindowsEthan Conneely
2022-07-01Add `cursor.blink_timeout` config optionKirill Chibisov
This option should prevent extensive power usage due to cursor blinking when there's no user activity being performed. Fixes #5992.
2022-06-28Add hexadecimal support to --embedSabu Siyad
Closes #6145.
2022-06-16Ignore special files for live config reloadKirill Chibisov
When using `--config-file /dev/null` with `live_config_reload`, each write to `/dev/null` was forcing alacritty to reload its configuration. This commit makes alacritty ignore special files for live config reload. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <contact@christianduerr.com>
2022-06-16Bump copypasta to 0.8.0Christian Duerr
This also applies all non-breaking semver updates.
2022-06-10Add vi action to center view around vi cursorjeremycostanzo
2022-06-09Fix flickering during resize on WaylandKirill Chibisov
This also fixes an issue of windows not being rendered while resizing. Fixes #6069.
2022-06-01Fix DEC Special Character Set (Line drawing)André Kugland
This patch resolves some mapping issues with the line drawing character set where characters like linefeed were incorrectly mapped to their proper character representation rather than the codepoint of their identification glpyh. Co-authored-by: Christian Duerr <contact@christianduerr.com>
2022-05-23Don't inherit `--command` for `SpawnNewInstance`Kirill Chibisov
Fixes #6060.
2022-05-20Fix builtin glyphs for U+2567 and U+2568algon
2022-05-08Fix gap in builtin box drawingKirill Chibisov
Builtin box drawing glyphs in range from '\u{2580}' to `\u{2587}` could have gap due to missing rounding. Previously height was rounded, however not the `y` offset. This commit fixes it.
2022-04-16Fix selection copy without button releasemahkoh
To prevent the current selection clipboard from being overwritten right before pasting, text is no longer copied solely because the user scrolled the scrollback buffer. The selection also isn't copied when a mouse button other than LMB/RMB are released, since these are the only ones capable of modifying the selection range. This should prevent issues where the selection of the user gets unexpectedly overwritten, especially in scenarios where the user is currently in the process of pasting something into Alacritty.

2022-04-03Disallow OSC 52 for unfocused windowKirill Chibisov
This leads to issues on macOS, since if we store clipboard at the same time it could error out. Also, on e.g. Wayland the clipboard store for unfocused window won't work anyway.
2022-03-25Reset blinking on search bindings in Vi modeKirill Chibisov
The Vi cursor is used as the current match indicator, however when it's blinking during search jumps the current match is invisible. Fixes #5934.
2022-03-24Persist OpenGL context creation flagsKirill Chibisov
This commit persists OpenGL context creation flags from previous window build attempts saving time in multiwindow context. It also creates window as srgb by default, since it's what Alacritty is rendering in. For reference [1] and [2]. Moreover the fallback for 10 bit colors is also added. [1] - https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/4939 and [2] - https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3756. Fixes #4703.
2022-03-16Add colored underline supportKirill Chibisov
This commit adds support for colored underline and refines the dynamic extra storage. The extra storage now is using `Arc` making cloning it way faster compared to `Box` approach which scales really well when it comes to cloning in `Term::write_at_cursor`, since cloning `Arc` is constant time. Fixes #4142.
2022-03-11Fix `font.glyph_offset` not live reloadingKirill Chibisov
Fixes #5944.
2022-03-10Fix crash when searching during resetChristian Duerr
This fixes a crash which occurs when the terminal is reset while searching, due to the vi mode cursor being outside of the visible area. This also fixes an issue where the search state reset would incorrectly clamp the vi mode cursor to the grid, rather than the absolute viewport position. While this fix does resolve all crashes when searching while running `cat /dev/urandom`, it does raise the question if manually clamping the vi mode cursor in every location where it is modified is the right choice. A follow-up to provide a safer API which guarantees correct modification of the vi mode cursor location is probably a good idea. Fixes #5942.
2022-03-02Add fallback GLES2 rendererKirill Chibisov
Currently Alacritty only works on hardware which supports OpenGL 3.3 or more, which can become problematic with older devices. This patch adds a new GLES2 renderer, since it is much more widely supported, especially on weaker hardware like phones or a Raspberry Pi. While the GLES2 renderer is slower than the OpenGL 3.3+ version, it is still significantly faster than software rendering. However because of this performance difference it is only used when necessary and there should be no difference for machines supporting OpenGL 3.3+. The two renderers are largely independent and separated in the `renderer/text/glsl3` and `renderer/text/gles2` modules. Separate shaders are also required for text rendering. The rectangle rendering for underlines and the visual bell works identically for both versions, but does have some version-specific shader code. Fixes #128.

2022-02-27Add `ToggleMaximized` key binding actionChris Copeland
2022-02-24Add version 0.10.1 to changelogChristian Duerr
2022-02-16Account for absolute WAYLAND_DISPLAY pathsmahkoh
If WAYLAND_DISPLAY contains a '/', we have to replace with with another character before using WAYLAND_DISPLAY as a path component.
2022-02-14Add support for dashed and dotted underlinesKirill Chibisov
This finishes implementation of underline styles provided by `CSI 4 : [1-5] m` escape sequence.
2022-02-09Fix alpha when using `colors.transparent_background_colors`Kirill Chibisov
The alpha is expected to be premultiplied from the text shader, so we should apply it to the background color.
2022-02-08Add support for drawing undercurlsKirill Chibisov
Fixes #1628.
2022-02-02Fix repeated permission requests on M1 macsChristian Duerr
This adds a codesign step to our makefile build which should automatically sign the application and resolve the issues on M1 macs where Alacritty constantly requests permissions. Since self-signing does still seem to fix this issue after sharing the resulting `Alacritty.app` with other M1 macs, the binary produced by our release build should also be fixed automatically. Fixes #5840.
2022-02-02Add damage tracking and reporting to compatible compositorsKirill Chibisov
This allows compositors to only process damaged (that is, updated) regions of our window buffer, which for larger window sizes (think 4k) should significantly reduce compositing workload under compositors that support/honor it, which is good for performance, battery life and lower latency over remote connections like VNC. On Wayland, clients are expected to always report correct damage, so this makes us a good citizen there. It can also aid remote desktop (waypipe, rdp, vnc, ...) and other types of screencopy by having damage bubble up correctly. Fixes #3186.
2022-01-30Use cell width to compute builtin font thicknessKirill Chibisov
While using underline thickness could sound logical to draw other lines most fonts don't make underlines thick compared to cell bounding box if you increase font size. So instead we're using cell width to scale builtin font nicely. This commit also adjusts arcs drawing and alignment. Fixes #5826. Fixes #5821.
2022-01-29Account for font.offset and glyph.offset in built-in fontKirill Chibisov
This commit takes into account `font.offset` and `font.glyph_offset` when generating built-in font.
2022-01-29Add option to control built-in box drawing charszandr
This commit adds the config `font.builtin_box_drawing` option to control built-in font, which is enabled by default.
2022-01-22Fix logfile overwriting existing filesChristian Duerr
