* Switch readme to absolute image linksNathan Lilienthal2025-01-03
| | | | | This should fix the screenshot image on crates.io. https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/5318
* Add config file locations into alacritty(5) Aarni Koskela2024-05-03

* Remove note about versions pre 0.13.0Kirill Chibisov2023-12-31
|
* Add link to rendered config docsChristian Duerr2023-12-14
| | | | This adds a link to alacritty.org's rendered configuration file documentation.
* Add a note in README about older versionsKirill Chibisov2023-07-02
| | | | Unfortunately it's not clear to everyone that they are looking at the development documentation.
* Change the default colorschemeKirill Chibisov2023-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | The new colorscheme is base16 classic dark with the bright colors generated with oklab toolkits. The base16 classic dark is less washed out and represents the current maintainers preference. The motivation to change it was subjective, though it does look like generic dark theme. On a side note, this colorscheme was used for alacritty.org web page for a long time, however it used different foreground color.
* Change the way we refer to IRC chatKirill Chibisov2023-06-13

* Switch to TOML configuration formatChristian Duerr2023-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Add fallback GLES2 rendererKirill Chibisov2022-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently Alacritty only works on hardware which supports OpenGL 3.3 or more, which can become problematic with older devices. This patch adds a new GLES2 renderer, since it is much more widely supported, especially on weaker hardware like phones or a Raspberry Pi. While the GLES2 renderer is slower than the OpenGL 3.3+ version, it is still significantly faster than software rendering. However because of this performance difference it is only used when necessary and there should be no difference for machines supporting OpenGL 3.3+. The two renderers are largely independent and separated in the `renderer/text/glsl3` and `renderer/text/gles2` modules. Separate shaders are also required for text rendering. The rectangle rendering for underlines and the visual bell works identically for both versions, but does have some version-specific shader code. Fixes #128.

* Remove outdated changelog URLsChristian Duerr2022-01-23
| | | | | Alacritty's website (https://alacritty.org) is now advertised publicly on the GitHub page. Since that includes the old 0.3.0 and 0.5.0 changelogs, it's not necessary to point them out separately anymore.

|
* Update Alacritty's descriptionChristian Duerr2020-12-29
| | | | | | Alacritty's description in the readme and manpage has always been a bit overly aggressive in its marketing. This new updated text should more accurately describe Alacritty's current state without pointlessly agitating people.
* Rework installation instructionsCanh Dinh2020-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since users should be capable of finding packages for their distributions, this removes all instructions that point users directly at specific packages. The third party repositories like COPR have been kept, since those are more difficult to find. The structure of the installation instructions has also been reworked to adjust for this and the post build instructions should be a bit cleaner now.

* Remove Ubuntu PPA installation instructionsChristian Duerr2020-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Since the Ubuntu PPA from mmstick is apparently not maintained anymore, people should no longer be instructed to install the outdated version that is available from the PPA. The System76 PPA repository still contains an up to date version of Alacritty, but since it also comes with several other packages we cannot recommend users to install it outside of Pop!_OS. Fixes #3863.

* Move Alacritty to organizationChristian Duerr2020-01-11
| | | | | | | | 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.

| | | This fixes #1972.
* Set maximum Rust version to 1.31.0Christian Duerr2019-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Small Updates to the README (#2091)Nathan Lilienthal2019-02-18
| | | | | | | Update the README and related files. This commit generally updates some language in the "About" section, and other sections with respect to keeping accurate information, and laying out the project goals in a clear way. We're also marking Alacritty as "beta" software at this point, not that this has any explicit meaning.
* 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.
* Make all configuration fields optionalChristian Duerr2019-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
