Micha Gorelick 77816797e8 Publish Github releases from Travis 
This release introduces some config to automatically build deploy a
binaries on the github release page using travis. The build only happens
when a commit is tagged and it uses the stable version of rust.

The main travis sections (install/script/before_deploy) have been
moved out of the .travis.yml to make it easier to read, maintain and
extend the different steps of the CI process.

Since checking for the Rust version in CI is enough to know if clippy
should be used or not, the environment variable `CLIPPY` has also been
removed, which further allowed simplifying the CI process.

Besides the executables, some auxillary files are now also published as
part of a release when they have changed since the last tagged Alacritty
release. This should make it clear for returning users when a new
version of a specific auxillary file is required.

Instead of using the 14.04 image which travis provides by default, an
18.04 docker image is used to build the output binaries for Linux.
This affects both the .deb and the .tar.gz binary.

The advantage of this is that while binaries compiled on 14.04, do not
work on 18.04, it does work the other way around. The generated .tar.gz
binary has been tested on 18.04, Debian, Fedora and Archlinux and all
systems were able to run it without any warnings or errors.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

  • Add support for windows
  • Add terminfo capabilities advertising support for changing the window title
  • Allow using scancodes in the key_bindings section
  • When mouse.url.launcher is set, clicking on URLs will now open them with the specified program
  • New mouse.url.modifiers option to specify keyboard modifiers for opening URLs on click
  • Binaries for macOS, Windows and Debian-based Systems are now published with Github releases

Changed

  • The colors.cursor.text and colors.cursor.cursor fields are optional now
  • Moved cursor_style to cursor.style
  • Moved unfocused_hollow_cursor to cursor.unfocused_hollow
  • Moved hide_cursor_when_typing to mouse.hide_when_typing
  • Mouse bindings now ignore additional modifiers

Removed

  • The custom_cursor_colors config field was deleted, remove the colors.cursor.* options to achieve the same behavior as setting it to false

Fixed

  • Fixed erroneous results when using the indexed_colors config option
  • Fixed rendering cursors other than rectangular with the RustType backend
  • Selection memory leak and glitches in the alternate screen buffer
  • Invalid default configuration on macOS and Linux
  • Middle mouse pasting if mouse mode is enabled
  • Selections now properly update as you scroll the scrollback buffer while selecting

Version 0.2.1

Added

  • Implement the hidden escape sequence (echo -e "\e[8mTEST")
  • Add support for macOS systemwide dark mode
  • Set the environment variable COLORTERM="truecolor" to advertise 24-bit color support
  • On macOS, there are two new values for the config option window.decorations:
    • transparent - This makes the title bar transparent and allows the viewport to extend to the top of the window.
    • buttonless - Similar to transparent but also removed the buttons.
  • Add support for changing the colors from 16 to 256 in the indexed_colors config section
  • Add save_to_clipboard configuration option for copying selected text to the system clipboard
  • New terminfo entry, alacritty-direct, that advertises 24-bit color support
  • Add support for CSI sequences Cursor Next Line (\e[nE) and Cursor Previous Line (\e[nF)

Changed

  • Inverse/Selection color is now modelled after XTerm/VTE instead of URxvt to improve consistency
  • First click on unfocused Alacritty windows is no longer ignored on platforms other than macOS
  • Reduce memory usage significantly by only initializing part of the scrollback buffer at startup
  • The alacritty terminfo entry no longer requires the xterm definition to be present on the system
  • The default TERM value is no longer static; the alacritty entry is used if available, otherwise the xterm-256color entry is used instead

Removed

  • The terminfo entry alacritty-256color. It is replaced by the alacritty entry (which also advertises 256 colors)

Fixed

  • Rendering now occurs without the terminal locked which improves performance
  • Clear screen properly before rendering of content to prevent various graphical glitches
  • Fix build failure on 32-bit systems
  • Windows started as unfocused now show the hollow cursor if the setting is enabled
  • Empty lines in selections are now properly copied to the clipboard
  • Selection start point lagging behind initial cursor position
  • Rendering of selections which start above the visible area and end below it

Deprecated

  • The config option window.decorations should now use full or none instead of true or false, respectively.

Security

  • Bracketed paste mode now filters escape sequences beginning with \x1b

Version 0.2.0

Added

  • Add a scrollback history buffer (10_000 lines by default)
  • CHANGELOG has been added for documenting relevant user-facing changes
  • Add ClearHistory key binding action and the Erase Saved Lines control sequence
  • When growing the window height, Alacritty will now try to load additional lines out of the scrollback history
  • Support the dim foreground color (echo -e '\033[2mDimmed Text')
  • Add support for the LCD-V pixel mode (vertical screens)
  • Pressing enter on the numpad should now insert a newline
  • The mouse bindings now support keyboard modifiers (shift/ctrl/alt/super)
  • Add support for the bright foreground color

Changed

  • Multiple key/mouse bindings for a single key will now all be executed instead of picking one and ignoring the rest
  • Improve text scrolling performance (affects applications like yes, not scrolling the history)

Fixed

  • Clear the visible region when the RIS escape sequence (echo -ne '\033c') is received
  • Prevent logger from crashing Alacritty when stdout/stderr is not available
  • Fix a crash when sending the IL escape sequence with a large number of lines
