Needed because FreeType cannot handle the latest version of the Apple Color Emoji font, which probably uses SVG-in-OTF instead of SBIX. Finishes up the color emoji implementation.

Changelog
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
kitty is a feature full, cross-platform, *fast*, GPU based terminal emulator.
|
|
|
|
version 0.6.0 [future]
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support background transparency via the background_opacity option. Provided
|
|
that your OS/window manager supports transparency, you can now have kitty
|
|
render pixels that have only the default background color as
|
|
semi-transparent.
|
|
|
|
- Support multiple top level (OS) windows. These windows all share the sprite
|
|
texture cache on the GPU, further reducing overall resource usage. Use
|
|
the shortcut `ctrl+shift+n` to open a new top-level window.
|
|
|
|
- Add support for a *daemon* mode using the `--single-instance` command line
|
|
option. With this option you can have only a single kitty instance running.
|
|
All future invocations simply open new top-level windows in the existing
|
|
instance.
|
|
|
|
- Support colored emoji
|
|
|
|
- Add a new "grid" window layout
|
|
|
|
- Drop the dependency on glfw (kitty now uses a modified, bundled copy of glfw)
|
|
|
|
- Add an option to control the audio bell volume on X11 systems
|
|
|
|
- Add a command line switch to set the name part of the WM_CLASS window
|
|
property independently.
|
|
|
|
- Add a command line switch to set the window title.
|
|
|
|
- Add more options to customize the tab-bar's appearance (font styles and
|
|
separator)
|
|
|
|
- Allow drag and drop of files into kitty. On drop kitty will paste the
|
|
file path to the running program.
|
|
|
|
- Add an option to control the underline style for URL highlighting on hover
|
|
|
|
version 0.5.1 [2017-12-01]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Add an option to control the thickness of lines in box drawing characters
|
|
|
|
- Increase max. allowed ligature length to nine characters
|
|
|
|
- Fix text not vertically centered when adjusting line height
|
|
|
|
- Fix unicode block characters not being rendered properly
|
|
|
|
- Fix shift+up/down not generating correct escape codes
|
|
|
|
- Image display: Fix displaying images taller than two screen heights not
|
|
scrolling properly
|
|
|
|
|
|
version 0.5.0 [2017-11-19]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Add support for ligature fonts such as Fira Code, Hasklig, etc. kitty now
|
|
uses harfbuzz for text shaping which allow it to support advanced OpenType
|
|
features such as contextual alternates/ligatures/combining glyphs/etc.
|
|
|
|
- Make it easy to select fonts by allowing listing of monospace fonts using:
|
|
kitty list-fonts
|
|
|
|
- Add an option to have window focus follow mouse
|
|
|
|
- Add a keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+f11) to toggle fullscreen mode
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Fix handling of option key. It now behaves just like the alt key on
|
|
Linux. There is an option to make it type unicode characters instead.
|
|
|
|
- Linux: Add support for startup notification on X11 desktops. kitty will
|
|
now inform the window manager when its startup is complete.
|
|
|
|
- Fix shell prompt being duplicated when window is resized
|
|
|
|
- Fix crash when displaying more than 64 images in the same session
|
|
|
|
- Add support for colons in SGR color codes. These are generated by some
|
|
applications such as neovim when they mistakenly identify kitty as a libvte
|
|
based terminal.
|
|
|
|
- Fix mouse interaction not working in apps using obsolete mouse interaction
|
|
protocols
|
|
|
|
- Linux: no longer require glew as a dependency
|
|
|
|
|
|
version 0.4.2 [2017-10-23]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fix a regression in 0.4.0 that broke custom key mappings
|
|
|
|
- Fix a regression in 0.4.0 that broke support for non-QWERTY keyboard layouts
|
|
|
|
- Avoid using threads to reap zombie child processes. Also prevent kitty from
|
|
hanging if the open program hangs when clicking on a URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
version 0.4.0 [2017-10-22]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for drawing arbitrary raster graphics (images) in the terminal via a
|
|
new graphics protocol. kitty can draw images with full 32-bit color using both
|
|
ssh connections and files/shared memory (when available) for better
|
|
performance. The drawing primitives support alpha blending and z-index.
|
|
Images can be drawn both above and below text. See
|
|
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/master/graphics-protocol.asciidoc
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
- Refactor kitty's internals to make it even faster and more efficient. The CPU
|
|
usage of kitty + X server while doing intensive tasks such as scrolling a
|
|
file continuously in less has been reduced by 50%. There are now two
|
|
configuration options ``repaint_delay`` and ``input_delay`` you can use to
|
|
fine tune kitty's performance vs CPU usage profile. The CPU usage of kitty +
|
|
X when scrolling in less is now significantly better than most (all?) other
|
|
terminals. See https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty#performance
|
|
|
|
- Hovering over URLs with the mouse now underlines them to indicate they
|
|
can be clicked. Hold down Ctrl+Shift while clicking to open the URL.
|
|
|
|
- Selection using the mouse is now more intelligent. It does not add
|
|
blank cells (i.e. cells that have no content) after the end of text in a
|
|
line to the selection.
|
|
|
|
- The block cursor in now fully opaque but renders the character under it in
|
|
the background color, for enhanced visibility.
|
|
|
|
- Allow combining multiple independent actions into a single shortcut
|
|
|
|
- Add a new shortcut to pass the current selection to an external program
|
|
|
|
- Allow creating shortcuts to open new windows running arbitrary commands. You
|
|
can also pass the current selection to the command as an arguments and the
|
|
contents of the screen + scrollback buffer as stdin to the command.
