The damage tracking was including selection and vi_cursor which were
rendering viewport related, however all the damage tracking inside
the `alacritty_terminal` was _terminal viewport_ related, meaning that
it should be affected by `display_offset`.
Refactor the damage tracking so `alacritty_terminal` is only tracking
actual terminal updates and properly applying display offset to them,
while `alacritty` pulls this damage into its own UI damage state.
Fixes#7111.
This patch adds a new CLI parameter to the `create-window` subcommand,
matching the existing `--option` parameter when creating a new Alacritty
instance.
This parameter allows setting up the initial window configuration from
the CLI without having to call `alacritty msg config`, making sure that
all options are set appropriately right from the start.
Closes#6238.
In addition to box drawing it was decided to also draw powerline
symbols, since those are quite common and rather simple to draw with
present box drawing infra.
This fixes a crash which could occur when leaving search with a visible
match after shrinking the terminal height to be lower than the original
line the focused match was in.
Closes#7054.
This patch ignores the startup mode when creating a new tab on macOS to
avoid maximizing an existing window.

This patch underlines the full regex hint match while the keyboard hint
selection is in process.
While it would be possible to color the entire match, this would only
introduce unnecessary configuration options and be too noisy. The
underline matches the mouse highlighting and has a less drastic visual
impact.
Closes#6178.
This fixes an issue where regexes with a large number of possible states
would consume excessive memory, since the entire DFA was compiled ahead
of time.
To solve this, the DFA is now built at runtime using `regex-automata`'s
hybrid DFA.
There are however still some checks performed ahead of time, causing
errors with obscenely large regexes (`[0-9A-Za-z]{999999999}`), which
shouldn't cause any issues.
A regex which is large, but not large enough to fail the NFA
construction (like `[0-9A-Za-z]{999999}`) will cause a long search of
the entire grid, but will complete and show the match.
Closes#7097.
Some systems have rendering issues when using GLX rather than EGL. While this is
usually due to a driver bug, it is helpful to provide a workaround for this by
allowing people to prefer EGL over GLX.
This patch adds the new `debug.prefer_egl` option to provide this workaround.
Closes#7056.
Make use of new winit frame throttling mechanism used in RedrawRequested,
which removes the need for having Wayland queue to ask for the frame
callbacks.
Fixes#7011.
This patch stores all options set for the Window ID `-1` and
automatically applies them to new windows after their creation.
This in theory makes it possible to have a fully dynamic "default
config" without having to reapply it for every new window.
Closes#7128.
While we skip the spacers for the wide characters in the grid due to
them having a proper flags, the draw_string method was generating the
cells with incorrect flags leading to wide chars being cut off.
Some environments demand certain OSC sequences to be disabled or
some escape sequence could require handling which is out of scope
of alacritty, but could be done by external script (OSC 777).
Added section for now just handles the `OSC 52` sequence and changes
its default to be `OnlyCopy`, which is handy for remote copy, but
`Paste` is redundant because normal `Paste` hotkey could be used as
well.
Fixes#3386.

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.
display_offset was adjusted unconditionally, thus it could go
beyound the history limits, so clamp it to history like we do
in grow_colums.
Fixes#6862.
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.
Windows is known to send zero sizes from winit in Risezed and now
in ScaleFactorChanged events. They were handled in Resized, but
not in ScaleFactorChanged.
Fixes#6949.
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 is not a real fix for the issue given that dbus method sctk-adwaita
is using will being called anyway. The proper fix will be available
with the winit's 0.29.0 release.
Right now the delay reduced from around 20 seconds to 100ms on a
systems with broken xdg-desktop-portal setup.
