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

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.

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.
The Plot unit tests were reaching directly into the objects,
which meant the implementations couldn't include anything
we didn't want public. This was annoying, so I've changed it.
This required adding ncdplot_sample() and ncuplot_sample(),
which we should have had anyway.
In order to properly determine the scaling of an ncvisual to
be rendered, ncvisual_geom() needs know the blitting method.
For this reason, it took an ncblitter_e argument. It also,
however, needs handle degradation, which means knowing whether
NCVISUAL_OPTIONS_NODEGRADE is in use. It thus really wants the
struct ncvisual_options. Pass and accept it. Closes#697, and
fixes the "yield" demo in ASCII mode (#696).
Very simple take at ncplane_puttext(), a new function for linebroken text. Also some very basic unit tests. I doubt this works very well yet, but it handles the simplest cases #682. Added nclog(), internal function for logging. #520

* ffmpeg ncvisual: fix rotation #662
If we're in ASCII mode, no blitter except for NCBLIT_1x1 is going to
work. Whenever NCBLIT_DEFAULT is provided, select NCBLIT_1x1 if we're
in ASCII mode. Add NCVISUAL_OPTIONS_MAYDEGRADE and
NCPLOT_OPTIONS_MAYDEGRADE. Both serve to allow smooth degradation when a
blitter other than NCBLIT_DEFAULT has been provided. Closes#637.
Make calc_gradient_cell() static inline so our templated ncppplot
implementation can use it (ugh). When using NCBLIT_1x1 for plots in
ASCII mode, use space rather than full block, and invert colors.
Use NCBLIT_DEFAULT in the demo for the FPS plot.
This represents an essentially complete rewrite of ncvisual and associated code. It had two major goals:
Improve the ncvisual API based off lessons learned, pursuant to the upcoming API freeze. In particular, I wanted to:
decouple ncvisuals from ncplanes. It should be possible to render a ncvisual to multiple planes, with different scaling each time. It should be possible to create an ncvisual without a plane, etc.
normalize the various ways of constructing an ncvisual -- file, memory, plane, etc.
Support multiple blitters, from 7-bit ASCII to Sixel. This required writing the blitters in several cases, and they're not yet in their final implementations (but the API is fine)
I have not yet unified Plots and Visuals, and might not, given that the Plot code works fine. We could at this point implement Plots in terms of Visuals, though -- the blitter backend range has been unified. Sixel is not yet implemented, though it is listed.
There is a new POC tool, blitter. It renders its arguments using all possible blitter+scaling combinations. Another new POC, resize, displays its argument, then resizes it to the screen size and displays that, explicitly making use of ncvisual_resize() rather than a scaling parameter to ncvisual_render().
This also eliminates some memory leaks and bugs we were seeing in trunk, and brings in Sixel scaffolding.
The C++ wrapper will also need patching back up; I cut most of it down while wrestling with this crap, urk.
Closes#638, #562, and #622.
Replace the singly-linked z-axis with a doubly-linked list,
and reimplement all z-axis moves as O(1) functions.
Eliminate ncplane_move_{above/below}_unsafe(), as there are no
longer unsafe moves.
Unify ffmpeg/oiio/null implementations, where possible. This effectively
required placing all three in the same file, which meant they're all now
C++. Update FFmpeg implemenation to be C++-usable. Implement
ncvisual_rotate_cw() and ncvisual_rotate_ccw() #515. Move most of tetris
over to Visual from Plane #558. Add bgra_to_rgba(), necessary for
creating ncvisual from BGRA memory. Implement ncvisual_from_rgba()
and ncvisual_from_bgra() #557. Add unit tests on ncvisual rotation.

* ncplane_at_* and ncplane_at_cursor_*
We had notcurses_at_yx() expanding into three distinct parts of
the cell structure, and ncplane_at_yx() / ncplane_at_cursor()
writing directly to a cell. It was annoying to remember which
was which. The latter two now have a signature matching
notcurses_at_yx(), while the old functionality has been moved
to ncplane_at_yx_cell() and ncplane_at_cursor_yx(). #476
* packaging: s/libtinfo/Terminfo/g
* rust: add stddim_yx()
* rust: check for valid init in unit tests
* rust: serialize up tests
* constify notcurses_term_dim_yx()
* rust: add dim wrappers
* remove notcurses_resize() from public API #367
* call notcurses_resize() from notcurses_refresh() #367
Resolves#410. notcurses_at_yx() accepted a cell*, but the
gcluster of this cell was always set to 0. The EGC is instead
a heap-allocated copy, returned as the primary return value.
This is due to the absence of an egcpool to bind against.
Existing callers can be converted thus:
* instead of passing cell 'c', pass &(c)->attrword, &(c)->channels
* either initialize 'c' with CELL_TRIVIAL_INITIALIZER, or set its
gcluster field to 0 following the call
I've updated all calls from tests/demos, updated the docs, and
updated the C++ and Python wrappers.
Add ncplane_bound(3). This allows a new plane N to be created in the
*bound* state relative to another ncplane B. If B moves, N moves the
same amount. If N is moved, the coordinates are taken relative to B
as opposed to the standard plane. If B is destroyed, N is destroyed.
Each plane can have many planes bound to it, but can only be bound to
a single plane. Add ncplane_reparent(3). This allows a plane to be
detached from any plane to which it is bound, and optionally rebound
to a new plane. The standard plane cannot be reparented.
Documentation and unit tests have been added for both.
ncvisual_render() now returns the number of cells emitted
rather than just 0/-1. -1 is still returned on failure.
Rather than 0 for length meaning "all possible length", it
now means 0, and -1 means "all possible length". All demos,
tests, and PoCs have been updated. #422
ncplane_mergedown() is similar to the "Merge down" operation
in the GIMP. It writes to the destination plane the result
of rendering the source and destination frames per se.
Add four new fields to notcurses_options: margin_{tblr}, which requests margins to the top, right, bottom, and left. Render only within those margins, leaving the screen otherwise untouched (well, cleared if using the alternate screen). #293
Get rid of annoying empty line in notcurses-view (and ncvisuals at offsets in general)
Implement most of the Selector widget. Need to add styling and scrolling still. #166
Reenable ubuntu focal build
Subtitles! We decode them, and display them in notcurses-view. If ncvisual_simple_streamer() is provided an extra ncplane, it will use it to display subtitles. #95
We now build Python by default, as things are working much better.
ncplane_set_base() now takes channel, attrword, and EGC, so you can usually avoid having to set up and release a cell. ncplane_set_base_cell() takes over duty from ncplane_set_base() for ease of conversion.
notcurses-demo and notcurses-view now both accept a 0 for delay multiplier, meaning 'go as fast as you possibly can'. Very small multipliers (e.g. 0.00001) no longer cause floating point exceptions.
fading routines no longer cause floating point exceptions on very small timescales.
Introduce the new type 'ncdirect', a stripped-down 'notcurses'
suitable for inline modification of regular output. Used the new
type because otherwise there were going to be if(directmode) checks
everywhere. Direct mode encompasses only colorizing and styling.
Add new man page notcurses_directmode(3). Add new section to README.
Add new PoC using direct mode RGB. Update demo table summary to use
direct mode.
As it turns out, we can't portably load the initial terminal contents
(there are some hacks of various EXTREME nature, but none of them are
worth it for the rather limited benefit). The O(1)-time damage
inference requires knowledge of what was previously present to
inibit unnecessary draws. We would then need some special cell value
indicating "not yet written to" to distinguish a purposeful null
cell from an initial cell. Again, we could do this, but for what value?
Finally, the idea of clearing new area on SIGWINCH was always flawed,
as we can't do that from a signal handler.
With the advent of direct mode #77, the reason for this largely goes
away in any case.
