Since running `clear` inside of tmux doesn't actually clear any part of
the screen, but just resets the scrolling region, the warning and error
notices can't be removed without quitting tmux or Alacritty.
As a solution, a new action `ClearLogNotice` has been added which has
been bound to Ctrl+L by default. As a result, Ctrl+L can be used inside
of tmux to remove the messages, even though tmux doesn't clear the
screen.
This fixes #1811.

To make sure that all error and information reporting to the user is
unified, all instances of `print!`, `eprint!`, `println!` and
`eprintln!` have been removed and replaced by logging.
When `RUST_LOG` is not specified, the default Alacritty logger now also
prints to both the stderr and a log file. The log file is only created
when a message is written to it and its name is printed to stdout the
first time it is used.
Whenever a warning or an error has been written to the log file/stderr,
a message is now displayed in Alacritty which points to the log file
where the full error is documented.
The message is cleared whenever the screen is cleared using either the
`clear` command or the `Ctrl+L` key binding.
To make sure that log files created by root don't prevent normal users
from interacting with them, the Alacritty log file is `/tmp/Alacritty-$PID.log`.
Since it's still possible that the log file can't be created, the UI
error/warning message now informs the user if the message was only
written to stderr. The reason why it couldn't be created is then printed
to stderr.
To make sure the deletion of the log file at runtime doesn't create any
issues, the file is re-created if a write is attempted without the file
being present.
To help with debugging Alacritty issues, a timestamp and the error
level are printed in all log messages.
All log messages now follow this format:
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] [LEVEL] Message
Since it's not unusual to spawn a lot of different terminal emulators
without restarting, Alacritty can create a ton of different log files.
To combat this problem, logfiles are removed by default after
Alacritty has been closed. If the user wants to persist the log of a
single session, the `--persistent_logging` option can be used. For
persisting all log files, the `persistent_logging` option can be set in
the configuration file

This adds the `window.dynamic_padding` option which allows disabling the
dynamic spread of additional padding around the grid's content.
Based on the feedback I've gotten so far and the fact that most other
terminal emulators do not seem to center the content inside themselves,
I've changed the default configuration option to disable centering of the grid.
This fixes #1778.

The extra window padding was calculated in the renderer which lead to
problems with the paddings calculated in the `src/display.rs` and
`src/term/mod.rs`.
As a solution, every instance of `config.padding().x/y` has been removed
from the renderer (`src/renderer/mod.rs`), instead the padding is always
passed through from the `src/display.rs`.
The initial calculations during display creation and after resize then
are scaled appropriately and then the extra padding is calculated. As a
result every other location can just make use of the correctly
calculated `size_info.padding_x` and `size_info.padding_y`.
The documentation has been changed to clearly state that the padding is
scaled by DPI now.
This fixes #1773.

There are a couple of cursor-related options in the Alacritty config
file now, however they aren't grouped together in any way.
To resolve this a new `cursor` field has been added where all cursor
configuration options (besides colors) have been moved.
The `custom_cursor_colors` option has also been removed, since it's not
necessary anymore. Simply making the `colors.cursor.*` fields optional,
allows overriding the cursor colors whenever one of them is present.
Like that the user doesn't have to think about a relation between two
separate configuration options.
This PR initially put the `hide_cursor_when_typing` variable under
`cursor.hide_when_typing`. However this field is completely unrelated to
the cursor, but instead relates to the mouse cursor.
Since the word `cursor` is already used for the active cell in the grid
of a terminal emulator, all occurences of the word `cursor` when talking
about the mouse have been replaced with the word `mouse`.
The configuration option has also been moved to
`mouse.hide_when_typing`, to make it clear what this option is changing.
This fixes #1080.

The Windows configuration file was outdated compared to the other
configuration files, since there were some major changes to the config
during the development of the Windows PR.
All changes between the Linux and Windows configuration file have been
removed, preserving platform-specific configuration defaults that were
intentionally changed.
Some minor changes have also been made to the Linux and macOS
configuration files, since there were some inconsistencies left.
This fixes #1692.

This adds the option to automatically launch URLs with a specified
program when clicking on them.
The config option `mouse.url_launcher` has been added to specify which
program should be used to open the URL. The URL is always passed as the
last parameter to the specified command.
It is not always desired for URLs to open automatically when clicking on
them. To resolve this a new `modifiers` field has been introduced to the
config, which allows specifying which keyboard modifiers need to be held
down to launch URLs in the specified launcher.
Some tests have been added to make sure that the edge-cases of the URL
parsing are protected against future regressions. To make testing easier
the parsing method has been moved into the `SemanticSearch` trait. The
name of the trait has also been changed to just `Search` and it has been
moved to `src/term/mod.rs` to fit the additional functionality.
This fixes #113.

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.
