If font size changes however the cells stay the same the terminal won't
be damaged, since it wasn't resized, however the visual change happened,
thus the entire screen should be damaged.
We've been testing out the pre-release feature of crates.io and there
haven't been any major issues. So this updates the documentation to
recommend publishing to crates.io even before the official release.
This adds a codesign step to our makefile build which should
automatically sign the application and resolve the issues on M1 macs
where Alacritty constantly requests permissions.
Since self-signing does still seem to fix this issue after sharing the
resulting `Alacritty.app` with other M1 macs, the binary produced by our
release build should also be fixed automatically.
Fixes#5840.
This allows compositors to only process damaged (that is, updated)
regions of our window buffer, which for larger window sizes (think 4k)
should significantly reduce compositing workload under compositors that
support/honor it, which is good for performance, battery life and lower
latency over remote connections like VNC.
On Wayland, clients are expected to always report correct damage, so
this makes us a good citizen there. It can also aid remote desktop
(waypipe, rdp, vnc, ...) and other types of screencopy by having damage
bubble up correctly.
Fixes#3186.
While using underline thickness could sound logical to draw other
lines most fonts don't make underlines thick compared to cell bounding
box if you increase font size. So instead we're using cell width to
scale builtin font nicely.
This commit also adjusts arcs drawing and alignment.
Fixes#5826.
Fixes#5821.
Alacritty's website (https://alacritty.org) is now advertised publicly
on the GitHub page. Since that includes the old 0.3.0 and 0.5.0
changelogs, it's not necessary to point them out separately anymore.
In 7398e9f a regression was introduced which causes Alacritty to crash
on startup since wayland has a keyboard repeat rate thread started
before our logger is initialized.
Since the latest version of time was rather inconvenient to use anyway
and there is no nice solution for this issue other than downgrading the
`time` version again, the time since startup is now logged instead of
the local time.
This should still provide all the relevant information, while getting
rid of an unnecessary dependency. While it would be possible to also
print the delta between log messages, this can be trivially computed so
it has been omitted to skip adding another `Mutex` to the `Logger`
struct.
Since the CI machine is amd64, it is not possible to just execute the
aarch64 binary to test the application. So instead of running `cargo
test`, we just use `cargo build` instead.
Building on the non-release CI instead of just checking also allows us
to make sure linking works properly before a release fails due to it.
Due to unsoundness issues (c.f., time-rs/time#380 and time-rs/time#293),
determining the local timezone can only happen while single-threaded.
Determine the timezone early in startup and apply the offset to the UTC
timestamp before formatting.
When 'ExpandSelection' binding was added only default binding for
RightClick was added, however to expand block selection holding control
when doing a click is required, so this commit adds a binding for
'RMB + Control'.
This resolves an issue where the regex search could loop indefinitely
when the end point was defined in a location containing a fullwidth
character, thus skipping over the end before termination.
Fixes#5753.
This fixes a regression introduced in 8e584099, where block selections
containing the last cell would have the trailing newline stripped and be
joined into one long line on copy.
This commit adds hand rolled drawing of unicode box drawing[1] and
block elements[2] from ranges U+2500 up to U+259f. While using system
font for such characters will look better most of the time, the
characters tend to overlap or not align, so providing builtin font is
the lesser evil here.

Before this patch a hint regex ending in the last column would append a
newline, despite this newline being "invisible" to the user. To match
the expected behavior, newlines are trimmed from regex hint matches.
To ensure consistency the simple and semantic selection also do not
include a newline at the end of the copied text anymore.
Fixes#5697.
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.
The existing behavior for the new CreateNewWindow actions was to always
pass in their own options, which would discard the existing options
configured on the terminal's PTY config.
To fix this the behavior for CreateNewWindow is now the same as for the
initial window creation, the config values are overwritten conditionally
based on their individual presence in the CLI options.
However all temporary CLI options set on the "master" Alacritty
instance are discarded by all future windows.
Fixes#5659.
The existing PID/FD atomics in alacritty_terminal/src/tty/unix.rs were
shared across all Alacritty windows, causing problem with the new
multiwindow feature.
Instead of sharing these between the different windows, the master FD
and shell PID are now stored on the `window_context`.
Unfortunately this makes spawning new daemons a little more complicated,
having to pass through additional parameters. To ease this a little bit
the helper method `spawn_daemon` has been defined on the
`ActionContext`, making it accessible from most parts of Alacritty's
event loop.
Fixes#5700.
To allow applications spawned by Alacritty to make use of the
shell/foreground process' working directory, it is now set for all new
processes spawned by Alacritty on Unix platforms.
Fixes#5616.
