The main highlight of this update is that alacritty will now use new
keyboard API from the winit, which resolves a lot of issues around
key bindings, such as ability to bind dead keys. It also fixes long
standing issues with the virtual key code bindings and make bindings
in general more predictable. It also makes our default Vi key bindings
fully working.
Given that alacritty was using `VirtualKey` directly in the bindings
from the winit, and winit simply removed the enum, we've added internal
conversions to minimize the fallout, but new way to specify the bindings
should be more intuitive.
Other part of this update fixes some forward compatibility bugs with the
Wayland backend, given that wayland-rs 0.30 is fully forward compatible.
The update also fixes weird Maximized startup issues on GNOME Wayland,
however they were present on any sane compositor.

The new colorscheme is base16 classic dark with the bright colors
generated with oklab toolkits. The base16 classic dark is less washed
out and represents the current maintainers preference. The motivation
to change it was subjective, though it does look like generic dark
theme.
On a side note, this colorscheme was used for alacritty.org web page for
a long time, however it used different foreground color.

This switches Alacritty's default configuration format from yaml to
toml. While yaml is still supported, it is done by converting it to toml
and should be removed entirely in the future.
All existing features were persisted based on my testing. Behavior
should not change much, though `--option` might have slightly different
behavior since the entire line is not interpreted as one line of toml.
A new `alacritty migrate` subcommand has been added which allows
automatic migration from yaml to toml. This also could be used as a
facility to automatically fix configuration file changes in the future.
Closes #6592.

This rewrites the existing manpages to use the `scdoc` format, making it
simpler to read and edit the manpages without intricate roff knowledge.
Some minor changes to the manpages were made in the process, mostly
focusing on correcting some of the wording. The list of maintainers has
also changed to ensure people not involved in the project anymore aren't
unnecessarily contacted for support.

This adds capabilities for focus in/out (XF, kxIN, kxOUT) and bracketed
paste (BD, BE, PE, PS).

Debian-based distributions provide a standard interface to launch a
terminal via the x-terminal-emulator name. In order for a terminal
emualtor to satisfy that interface, it must
* Be VT100 compatiable
* Support the "-e <command> <args>" CLI option
* Support the "-T <title>" CLI option
Adjust the short form of --title accordingly, providing -t as an alias
to avoid breaking any existing usage.
|
|
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.

This patch adds a new mechanism for changing configuration options
without editing the configuration file, by sending options to running
instances through `alacritty msg`.
Each window will load Alacritty's configuration file by default and then
accept IPC messages for config updates using the `alacritty msg config`
subcommand. By default all windows will be updated, individual windows
can be addressed using `alacritty msg config --window-id
"$ALACRITTY_WINDOW_ID"`.
Each option will replace the config's current value and cannot be reset
until Alacritty is restarted or the option is overwritten with a new
value.
Configuration options are passed in the format `field.subfield=value`,
where `value` is interpreted as yaml.
Closes #472.

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.

Instead of having the extra symlink in the root, this puts the symlink
in the alacritty crate. Since we build the package on Linux this is not
a problem and even allows us to get rid of the `alacritty.png` symlink.
To avoid having complicated symlinks with regards to the windows build
assets directory, it has just been removed from the `extra` directory
completely. Since we only need it for building, it doesn't matter where
it's located and users will never have to interact with it manually
anyway.
Closes #6242.
|
|
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.

Closes #6145.

This ensures that the generated completions properly suggest file paths
for arguments which accept them.

This adds the ability to pass title and class over IPC via the
create-window subcommand, so users can run only one instance for windows
of different spurposes in the window managers of their choice.

Alacritty's `msg create-window` subcommand would previously inherit all
the CLI parameters from the original executable. However not only could
this lead to unexpected behavior, it also prevents multi-window users
from making use of parameters like `-e`, `--working-directory`, or
`--hold`.
This is solved by adding a JSON-based message format to the IPC socket
messages which instructs the Alacritty server on which CLI parameters
should be used to create the new window.
Fixes #5562.
Fixes #5561.
Fixes #5560.

The current completions required a lot of domain-specific knowledge
about each individual shell and their completion functionality. Much of
which is sparsely documented.
While clap does not generate perfect completions, since parameters like
`-e` are missing completions, it does a reasonable job while requiring
no work on writing these completions.
Since access to `cli.rs` isn't possible from the `build.rs`, these
completions aren't always generated on build. Instead a test verifies
that there has been no changes to these completions and provides a
simple code sample for re-generating them. This should provide a simple
solution with minimal overhead.

Previously Alacritty would always initialize only a single terminal
emulator window feeding into the winit event loop, however some
platforms like macOS expect all windows to be spawned by the same
process and this "daemon-mode" can also come with the advantage of
increased memory efficiency.
The event loop has been restructured to handle all window-specific
events only by the event processing context with the associated window
id. This makes it possible to add new terminal windows at any time using
the WindowContext::new function call.
Some preliminary tests have shown that for empty terminals, this reduces
the cost of additional terminal emulators from ~100M to ~6M. However at
this point the robustness of the daemon against issues with individual
terminals has not been refined, making the reliability of this system
questionable.
New windows can be created either by using the new `CreateNewWindow`
action, or with the `alacritty msg create-window` subcommand. The
subcommand sends a message to an IPC socket which Alacritty listens on,
its location can be found in the `ALACRITTY_SOCKET` environment
variable.
Fixes #607.

This commit swaps source and target for the windows asset symlinks,
since creation of a symlink is not possible on Windows systems without
administrator permissions.
By making the files inside the source folder the source instead of the
destination, a build is still possible without requiring elevated
privileges.
Fixes #5338.

This removes the releases section to make the creation of new releases a
bit simpler.

This adds documentation stating that Alacritty supports the synchronized
update escape, which was implemented in 9575aed.
Since tmux does check terminfo for this feature, the `Sync` capability
has also been added. Tmux's implementation can be found here:

This fixes the shell completion by removing the flags removed from the
CLI in 0768428 and adding the new options flag.

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.
|
|
Previously the _NET_WM_ICON would use the .ico which was also used for
the Windows icon. This icon used the dimensions 256x256, but the maximum
supported image size is 192x192, so a new image with the dimensions
64x64 has been added.
Since we know the image format anyways, the `image` dependency could
also be easily replaced with `png`, which cuts out a few extra unused
dependencies.
|
|
Since Alacritty is now officially packaged by Fedora, it is no longer
necessary to provide this in the official repository.
|
|
This removes some of Alacritty's CLI flags since the same functionality
is provided by the '--option' flag now.
The removed flags are:
* '--persistent-logging'
* '--live-config-reload'
* '--no-live-config-reload'
* '--dimensions'
* '--position'
Fixes #4246.

This removes all CI builds from travis-ci, due to their recent changes
in policy and harsh limitations on builds. With build times over 2
hours, it was a significant hindrance to development.
Instead of Travis CI, the CI is now split on Sourcehut and GitHub. Since
Sourcehut only supports Linux/BSD, all builds on those operating systems
are executed there. The GitHub Actions CI is used to build for
Windows/macOS, which are not available on Sourcehut.
Since asset deployment for releases requires builds on all platforms,
this is also done on GitHub actions. Though the new `upload_asset.sh`
script makes sure that migration in the future is fairly simple and we
do not tie ourselves to the overly complicated GitHub Actions ecosystem.

This uses the facilities added in
3c3e6870dedad56b270f5b65ea57d5a6e46b1de6 to allow overriding individual
configuration file options dynamically from the CLI using the
--options/-o parameter.
Fixes #1258.

This adds support for double underlines using the colon separated escape
sequence `CSI 4 : 2 m`.
Alacritty will now also always fallback to the normal underline in case
any of the other underlines like the undercurl are specified. The escape
sequence `CSI 4 : 0 m` can now be used to clear all underlines.
Some terminals support `CSI 21 m` for double underline, but since
Alacritty already uses that as cancel bold which is a little more
consistent, that behavior has not changed. So the colon separated
variant must be used.
|
|
This implements the colon separated form of SGR 38 and 48.
Fixes #1485.
|
|
Since Alacritty should not be responsible for packaging and the
maintainers of the snap package have not kept it up to date, this
removes its configuration file.
