2018-10-27 | Move gentoo install instructions, add windows to table of contents | Zac Pullar-Strecker | |
2018-10-16 | Add support for Windows (#1374) | Zac Pullar-Strecker | |
Initial support for Windows is implemented using the winpty translation layer. Clipboard support for Windows is provided through the `clipboard` crate, and font rasterization is provided by RustType. The tty.rs file has been split into OS-specific files to separate standard pty handling from the winpty implementation. Several binary components are fetched via build script on windows including libclang and winpty. These could be integrated more directly in the future either by building those dependencies as part of the Alacritty build process or by leveraging git lfs to store the artifacts. Fixes #28. | |||
2018-10-14 | Extract manual installation instructions | Christian Duerr | |
Alacritty's manual installation instructions take up a lot of space in the README and they are hard to navigate because there's a lot of information for specific distros which are irrelevant to most users. To improve this situation, the manual installation section has been moved to the `INSTALL.md` file. This allows keeping the readme to a minimum which just includes the straight-forward instructions required to install it on systems which provide packages for it. Having a separate file also makes it possible to add a full index just for the installation instructions, which makes it possible to skip sections which are irrelevant. |
