2020-12-29Update Alacritty's descriptionChristian Duerr
Alacritty's description in the readme and manpage has always been a bit overly aggressive in its marketing. This new updated text should more accurately describe Alacritty's current state without pointlessly agitating people.
2020-08-07Rework installation instructionsCanh Dinh
Since users should be capable of finding packages for their distributions, this removes all instructions that point users directly at specific packages. The third party repositories like COPR have been kept, since those are more difficult to find. The structure of the installation instructions has also been reworked to adjust for this and the post build instructions should be a bit cleaner now.

2020-07-16Remove Ubuntu PPA installation instructionsChristian Duerr
Since the Ubuntu PPA from mmstick is apparently not maintained anymore, people should no longer be instructed to install the outdated version that is available from the PPA. The System76 PPA repository still contains an up to date version of Alacritty, but since it also comes with several other packages we cannot recommend users to install it outside of Pop!_OS. Fixes #3863.

2020-01-11Move Alacritty to organizationChristian Duerr
This fixes various outdated links pointing to the old jwilm/alacritty repository. Since `copypasta` now has its own github repository at https://github.com/alacritty/copypasta, the sources have been removed from Alacritty.

2019-11-28Add prerendered PNG and simplified SVG logojansol

2019-04-09Document VC++ redistributable requirementChristian Duerr
This fixes #1972.
2019-04-09Set maximum Rust version to 1.31.0Christian Duerr
By setting the minimum Rust version and enforcing it with CI, Alacritty should hopefully make it possible for maintainers to package the application even on distributions which are not rolling release. The 1.31.0 target has been chosen here because it's the first version of the Rust 2018 release. Bumping this version in the future should be considered to be a breaking change and should only be done with caution and in consideration of the supported Rust versions of the major distributions available. This fixes #2277.

2019-02-18Small Updates to the README (#2091)Nathan Lilienthal
Update the README and related files. This commit generally updates some language in the "About" section, and other sections with respect to keeping accurate information, and laying out the project goals in a clear way. We're also marking Alacritty as "beta" software at this point, not that this has any explicit meaning.
2019-02-02Document that alacritty requires winpty-agent on windows Zac Pullar-Strecker
To make things easier to understand for Windows users, the relationship between Alacritty and the WinPTY agent has been clarified in the documentation. This also bundles the windows agent and exe together in a zip file to make distribution for windows easier on the user.
2019-01-17Make all configuration fields optionalChristian Duerr
All configuration fields now have fallback values which will be used if the field is not present. This includes mouse, key bindings and platform specific differences. The mouse and key bindings are now filled by default, if the user rebinds a default mapping, it will be overwritten. To unbind a default binding, it can be mapped to `chars: ""`. Since all platform differences can now be correctly handled by the `src/config/mod.rs` code, it's no longer necessary to maintain separate configuration files, so the `alacritty_macos.yml` and `alacritty_windows.yml` have been deleted. Fixes #40. Fixes #1923.
