2019-06-30Suggest installing fish completions per-userFabian Homborg
This uses $fish_complete_path[1], which should be in the user's home directory, so `sudo` is no longer needed.

2019-06-03Add Gentoo install dependenciesChristian Duerr
While Gentoo was listed in the table of contents of the INSTALL.md, the instructions to install the build dependencies were missing. This adds the emerge command necessary to install all dependencies of Alacritty (other than Rust) so building from source without the overlay is possible.

2019-04-28Switch from copypasta to rust-clipboardChristian Duerr
This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized `clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip` dependency on X11. Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created). Fixes #5.
2019-04-28Split alacritty into a separate cratesTheodore Dubois
The crate containing the entry point is called alacritty, and the crate containing everything else is called alacritty_terminal.

2019-03-03Fix terminfo support for extended capabilitiesChristian Duerr
To make sure all extended capabilities can be queried correctly, it is necessary to compile the terminfo file using the `-x` flag. Since Alacritty specified support for the XTerm mouse mode (XM/xm), using the `-x` flag was not possible until now without breaking programs like `htop`. By removing this flag, these issues should be resolved. This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/2131.

2019-02-02Document that alacritty requires winpty-agent on windows Zac Pullar-Strecker
To make things easier to understand for Windows users, the relationship between Alacritty and the WinPTY agent has been clarified in the documentation. This also bundles the windows agent and exe together in a zip file to make distribution for windows easier on the user.

2018-10-16Add support for Windows (#1374)Zac Pullar-Strecker
Initial support for Windows is implemented using the winpty translation layer. Clipboard support for Windows is provided through the `clipboard` crate, and font rasterization is provided by RustType. The tty.rs file has been split into OS-specific files to separate standard pty handling from the winpty implementation. Several binary components are fetched via build script on windows including libclang and winpty. These could be integrated more directly in the future either by building those dependencies as part of the Alacritty build process or by leveraging git lfs to store the artifacts. Fixes #28.
2018-10-14Extract manual installation instructionsChristian Duerr
Alacritty's manual installation instructions take up a lot of space in the README and they are hard to navigate because there's a lot of information for specific distros which are irrelevant to most users. To improve this situation, the manual installation section has been moved to the `INSTALL.md` file. This allows keeping the readme to a minimum which just includes the straight-forward instructions required to install it on systems which provide packages for it. Having a separate file also makes it possible to add a full index just for the installation instructions, which makes it possible to skip sections which are irrelevant.
