* Fix terminfo support for extended capabilitiesChristian Duerr2019-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Document that alacritty requires winpty-agent on windows Zac Pullar-Strecker2019-02-02
| | | | | | | | | 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.

* Add support for Windows (#1374)Zac Pullar-Strecker2018-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Extract manual installation instructionsChristian Duerr2018-10-14
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.
