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.
Looks like the release process used a regex(?) to replace that included some
unintended targets. Microsoft link broke in 2.2.0; CELL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT
continually replaced since 2.0.1.
Extract Curses differences and adaptation sections, and
move them to doc/CURSES.md. Reference this new document
in README.md. We now have sufficiently few sections that
we can dispense with the ToC. Do so.
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.
This completes the work for #1068. This addressed a subtle issue.
When we're using pixel->semigraphic art, we want slightly different
rendering. Essentially, imagine that we have two images, each two
pixels tall and one pixel wide. The top image is a transparent pixel
above a white pixel. The bottom image is a white pixel above a black
pixel. We'd expect the result to be two white pixels, but we can
instead get a black pixel above a white pixel. This is because the
*background* color is being merged from the bottom plane, but really
we want the *top* color. Ncvisuals are now blitted along with
information regarding which quadrants they draw over, and when
appropriate, we invert the foreground and background. Closes#1068.
'dragon' looks much cooler when it has residue from the
prior demo still on the screen. 'yield' won't do, though,
as it's a graphic (which, devoid of color, looks like
nothing). move it after 'highcontrast'. move 'normal' up
after 'trans' so as never to present too much reading
to the user at once. users hate reading =[. this also
makes 'mojibake' look cooler while we're at it.

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.
Improve the documentation for ncplane_set_base_cell() and
ncplane_set_base(). Go by render.c's authority (all three
channels are independently checked for transparency, and
replaced with the base cell if so--egc, fg, and bg). Add a
BASE CELL section to notcurses_plane.3. Check for, and reject,
an nccell which is secondary among a multicolumn EGC.
Closes#1238.
- 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()
Remove the pre-rendered model.png, a generated output. Add a
dot target to CMake, predicated on USE_DOXYGEN (since we have
REQUIRED dot in our Doxygen spec). Generate the png in the
output path. Rename stacks to piles in model.dot.
CMake:
Simplify cmake target+version config generation and make it actually
work. With the changes it is now possible to detect and use
`Notcurses` in the following way:
find_package(Notcurses REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE notcurses::notcurses)
Also, added the same CMake configuration for `Notcurses++`, to be used
in the following way:
find_package(Notcurses REQUIRED
find_package(Notcurses++ REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE notcurses++::notcurses++)
Docs:
`notcurses_cell(3)`: `cell_styles_{on,off} -> cell_{on,off}_styles`
and `cell_load_simple` -> `cell_load_char`
C++ API:
* Plane: added constructors taking `ncplane_options const&` instead of
the multitude of individual parameters
* Plane: drop `struct` when `ncplane_options` is used.
* Plane: added `strdup` (`cell_strdup`)
* Plane: added `extract` (`cell_extract`)
