2024-04-18Fix window being focused by defaultKirill Chibisov
Winit explicitly states that the window is not focused by default and the `Focused` event will deliver the state later on. Also start adding notable changes to alacritty_terminal in its own CHANGELOG. Closes #7866.
2024-02-14Use dynamic MSRV for oldstable CIChristian Duerr
Instead of manually specifying the oldstable version in all our CI scripts, it is now pulled from the `Cargo.toml` which simplifies the update process. The contributing guide has also been updated to not include the explicit version and its wording has been loosened a bit to correctly represent current maintenance practices.
2023-11-24Create only one branch per major releaseKirill Chibisov
Having a separate branch for each release makes it harder to maintain without an actual benefit, since every release from the major version is linear, so creating branches doesn't make any sense. They also collapse with the tag names leading to ambiguous refs.

2023-10-08Update dependenciesChristian Duerr
This patch applies all breaking and non-breaking dependency updates and bumps MSRV to 1.70.0.
2023-06-12Switch to TOML configuration formatChristian Duerr
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.

2022-11-03Update glutin to 0.30.0Kirill Chibisov
The glutin 0.30.0 update decouples glutin from winit which provides us with basis for a multithreaded renderer. This also improves robustness of our configuration picking, context creation, and surface handling. As an example we're now able to start on systems without a vsync, we don't try to build lots of contexts to check if some config works, and so on. That also brings us possibility to handle context losses, but that's a future work. Fixes #1268.
2022-06-16Bump copypasta to 0.8.0Christian Duerr
This also applies all non-breaking semver updates.
2022-02-10Add note about publishing RCs to crates.ioChristian Duerr
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.

2020-07-19Bump alacritty_terminal versionChristian Duerr
This change bumps the version of the `alacritty_terminal` crate to force it out of sync with the Alacritty application. Since it is a library that will be published on crates.io, it should be following semver rather than our binary's release version. While it would be possible to just keep it at 0.5.0, explicitly disconnecting it from the Alacritty version should give it a clean starting-off point and prevent unnecessary confusion. Bumping it to 0.10.0 instead of something like 0.6.0 should allow for a nice gap between the different versions without being too arbitrary. Changing the version to 0.1.0 is not an option since decreasing semver version would likely cause a lot of problems. While it would be possible to further separate the Alacritty terminal library from the Alacritty terminal emulator, by renaming it from `alacritty_terminal` to something different, I don't think that is necessary or a good idea at the moment. Even though the `alacritty_terminal` library *can* be used for other terminals, its primary goal is still to support the Alacritty terminal emulator and I don't see that changing. So making that clear in its name seems like a good idea. Since there is no plan to maintain this library separately from Alacritty, but to keep both tied together, the naming should reflect this.

2020-03-18Add modal keyboard motion modeChristian Duerr
This implements a basic mode for navigating inside of Alacritty's history with keyboard bindings. They're bound by default to vi's motion shortcuts but are fully customizable. Since this relies on key bindings only single key bindings are currently supported (so no `ge`, or repetition). Other than navigating the history and moving the viewport, this mode should enable making use of all available selection modes to copy content to the clipboard and launch URLs below the cursor. This also changes the rendering of the block cursor at the side of selections, since previously it could be inverted to be completely invisible. Since that would have caused some troubles with this keyboard selection mode, the block cursor now is no longer inverted when it is at the edges of a selection. Fixes #262.
2020-01-19Bump minimum Rust version to 1.37.0Christian Duerr
2020-01-11Move Alacritty to organizationChristian Duerr
This fixes various outdated links pointing to the old jwilm/alacritty repository. Since `copypasta` now has its own github repository at https://github.com/alacritty/copypasta, the sources have been removed from Alacritty.

2019-12-01Add new issue and PR templatesChristian Duerr
This adds a PR template that should remind users to document their changes in our CHANGELOG, without requiring too much direct interaction from the user. The issue template has also been reworked a bit, hopefully making it easier for people to report bugs, without intruding on them if the information is irrelevant or providing it is too much effort. Fixes #3031.

2019-04-09Set maximum Rust version to 1.31.0Christian Duerr
By setting the minimum Rust version and enforcing it with CI, Alacritty should hopefully make it possible for maintainers to package the application even on distributions which are not rolling release. The 1.31.0 target has been chosen here because it's the first version of the Rust 2018 release. Bumping this version in the future should be considered to be a breaking change and should only be done with caution and in consideration of the supported Rust versions of the major distributions available. This fixes #2277.

2019-01-17Make all configuration fields optionalChristian Duerr
All configuration fields now have fallback values which will be used if the field is not present. This includes mouse, key bindings and platform specific differences. The mouse and key bindings are now filled by default, if the user rebinds a default mapping, it will be overwritten. To unbind a default binding, it can be mapped to `chars: ""`. Since all platform differences can now be correctly handled by the `src/config/mod.rs` code, it's no longer necessary to maintain separate configuration files, so the `alacritty_macos.yml` and `alacritty_windows.yml` have been deleted. Fixes #40. Fixes #1923.
