deprecate ncvisual_geom() in favor of new ncvisual_blitter_geom(), which allows caller to get the blitter used. replace the checks and calculations in ncvisual_render() with a call to ncvisual_blitter_geom(), unifying the two paths (and eliminating several bugs in the unloved ncvisual_geom()).
Deprecate ncplane_align(), after rewriting it as a passthrough
to new function ncplane_halign(). Add ncplane_valign(). Update
all callers. Closes#1468.
Add `notcurses_check_pixel_support()` and
`ncdirect_check_pixel_support()` per #1367. Removes
NCOPTION_VERIFY_SIXEL, again per #1367. Adds
`free_terminfo_cache()`, and calls it from both
`notcurses_stop_minimal()` and `ncdirect_stop()`.
Update all documentation. Closes#1371 and #1367.
notcurses_stats() and notcurses_stats_reset() now take the
new statlock member, as do stat modifications from render,
raster, writeout, resize, plane creation, and plane
destruction. Add nonnull attributes to stats API. Initialize
and destroy statlock as part of notcurses struct. Update
documentation. Free pilelock on error paths. Closes#1139.
Eliminate NCDIRECT_OPTION_NO_READLINE (it was only introduced in
Notcurses 2.1.6). Add a new function, ncdirect_readline(). Upon
first call to this function, initialize libreadline. Destroy
libreadline in ncdirect_stop() iff we initialized it. Add
hilodirect guessing game PoC from #1325. Rename
notcurses_directmode.3 to notcurses_direct.3. Closes#1326.
Implement channels_set_fg_palindex() and channels_set_bg_palindex()
in terms of channel_set_palindex(). Add missing entries to
notcurses_channels.3 man page. Use uint32_t in place of unsigned
when dealing with channels in notcurses.h.
Extract `libnotcurses-core` from `libnotcurses`. The former contains everything except multimedia code. The latter contains multimedia stuff (a wrapper around FFmpeg or OIIO). If built with `-DUSE_MULTIMEDIA=none`, there will not be any `libnotcurses.so` generated. `libnotcurses.so` uses library constructors/destructors to insert its implementation into the `ncvisual` stack at runtime. Users linking `-lnotcurses` will get the full implementation; users linking `-lnotcurses-core` only will get the stack less multimedia code.
The upshot of this is that someone can compile/install only `libnotcurses-core`, and a program linked against it will work just fine. This eliminates the need to install the full (large) dependency stack of the multimedia code unless necessary. This will hopefully be useful for e.g. installers etc. Closes#339.
ncplane_destroy() needs to call ncplane_reparent_family(), not
ncplane_reparent() as it was doing (closes#1291). ->absy and
->absx actually are absolute; return them directly for an O(1)
ncplane_abs_yx() (down from O(N), huzzah). Add some unit tests
related to destroying and reparenting (#1286). Add ncplane_abs_y()
and ncplane_abs_x(), document them, etc.
Add a new member 'sextants' to the terminfo cache (both
notcurses and ncvisual contain one of these, and both
initialize it the same way -- interrogate_terminfo()).
Add a new function, 'notcurses_media_defblitter()', and
deprecate 'ncvisual_default_blitter()' (the latter didn't
receive enough information to return NCBLIT_3x2). Update
all callers. Add new *internal* function rgba_default_blitter(),
so this logic can be freely changed in the future. If
sextants are available, and we're scaling, return NCBLIT_3x2.
Once we detect sextant availability, we'll have sexblitter
as a default -- stay tuned! #1114
- Disambiguate the docs for ncplane_erase()
- Add ncpile_top(), ncpile_bottom()
- Refuse attempts to modify the standard plane's resizecb
- Copy alignment and resizecb in ncplane_dup()
- Add cell_load_egc32()
notcurses_enable_cursor() now accepts placement arguments.
both it and notcurses_disable_cursor() now return int rather
than void. add notcurses_cursor_move_yx().
* Reimplement the widget zoo demo. The previous PoC
was a multithreaded monster with behavior dependent
on screen geometry. Replace it with a single thread state
machine. Closes#936.
* Support titles for ncplot. Adds title to the ncplot_options
struct, which may be NULL. Closes#941 .
* Properly color ncplot according to maxchannels and
minchannels. Closes#940
* Add tools/function-table.sh script for generating public API list.
Get notcurses-tetris working again, since its collision
detection relied on simple vs non-simple EGCs, which are
no longer an operative concept. Closes#899.
not caring about endianness is the opiate of the masses.
happy, happy masses. remove endianness.h and all its baleful
influence by explicitly breaking up the cell structure. #892
New reel layout algorithm based on trimming and sifting. Fixes the original issue of #818, though I'm not marking that bug fixed until I've resolved the little issues remaining with this one.
Back off CMake version dependency, see if we can get by with 3.11.4 for EPEL8 #851
Simplify tablet drawing tremendously by separating tablet border and data planes. Callbacks no longer need worry about the borders; they can simply fill the plane they're handed. #833
Improve notcurses_debug() a bit
Add ncplane_new_named() and friends to expose plane naming to the user.
Add internal ncplane_genocide() to kill a plane and all its bound descendents
New industrial-strength ncreel unit testing
notcurses-ncreel now accepts -ln for log level n
Add ncplane_parent() and ncplane_parent_const()
Tons of work on ncreel (#627, #749, #694)
Improve reel demo: get input wired up once more, avoid the FPS demo at bottom, print pointer and line count in each tablet, use new ncreel API. Improve notcurses-ncreel explorer: kill memory leaks (#694), draw tablets better, use new ncreel API. Fix bug in ncreel core where cruft could be left on the screen, via a very gross brute force algorithm. I'll likely come back and make this a bit less ghastly in the future #749. Remove weird one-off input system from ncreel, residue from outcurses. Make some of the normalizing changes speced out in #627

CELL_ALPHA_OPAQUE et al were defined as 0..3, meaning
CELL_ALPHA_SHIFT had to be used to compare them to their
channel representations. Instead, define them in said
representation outright, eliminating the need to shift while
retaining arithmetic properties, and zero initialization for
CELL_ALPHA_OPAQUE. Eliminate CELL_ALPHA_SHIFT #738.
We're not using NCBLIT_2x2 by default because it warps the
aspect ratio. If we're using NCSCALE_STRETCH, though, we've
(1) already indicated that aspect ratio isn't terribly
important to us and (2) are trying to maximize the space.
Since NCBLIT_2x2 is best for large images anyway, make it
the default when NCSCALE_STRECTH is being used.
Remove all explicit uses of NCBLIT_2x2 when NCSCALE_STRETCH
is being used in notcurses-demo.
