Create new wrapping types that can safely encapsulate the mutable references,
and implement Drop and automatic (de)referencing.
- Notcurses
- rename Notcurses* to NcNotcurses*.
- rename NotcursesOptions to NcNotcursesOptions.
- new Notcurses struct.
- implement Drop, AsRef, AsMut, Deref & DerefMut.
- override stop method to be no-op.
- reimplement constructors and associated methods.
- remove without_altscreen_with_banners constructor.
- update examples and tests.
- rustfmt.
- add more string messages to error! macro invocations for NcPlane & NcCell methods.
- refactor NcPlane.base() to return the NcCell.
- fix cell_prime & NcCell.prime to accept gcluster as &str, as well as cells_load_box.
- fix several return types (u32 instead of NcDimension for counting).
- add NcMenuSection::new_separator() constructor.
- rename constructor method for an empty NcInput to new();
- fix notcurses_getc_blocking() function name and error logic.
- improve comments.
- change type of NCMENU_OPTION_* to u64 (like in C API)
- fix error_str![] macro.
- improve error messages.
- refactor error![] macro, switch place for $msg & $ok parameters.
- add more meaningful NcError return values in several functions related with poc-menu example, for starters.
- the poc-menu example now doesn't randomly fail, IDKW but OK I guess.
- minor unrelated corrections.
- make channels_set[f|b]g_rgb() functions (and corresponding methods) return the NcChannelPair, taking advantage of the fact that those functions can't fail in Rust.
- documentation fixes.
- fix NCSCALE definition typo.
- modify ncmenu constructor Accept &mut[] instead of Vec<> to avoid FFI related problems. Furthermore, from rust 1.48 it's easy to convert a Vec into an array using the std::convert::TryInto trait.
- fix ncmenu method names.
- fix & refactor Notcurses contructors; add `with_debug` constructor.
- make NcPlane.set_base receive a char instead of a reference, since it's copy.
- add `rre` cargo alias for running examples on release.
- new example poc-menu (WIP).
- improve constructors for NcMenu*.
- divide NcMenu* methods into submodules.
- fix return type for NcPlane constructors.
- use NcResult on functions returning references.
- fix a couple of Notcurses methods.
- add more NcChannelPair methods.
- refactor NcInput constructors.
- rename error_ptr![] to error_ref_mut![]
- new macro cstring_mut![].
- new error_ref![] macro.
- update examples & tests.
- bump version in readme.
- receive a variable number of arguments.
- make rsleep use methods and deal with NcResult.
- new fsleep to flush an NcDirect context.
- fix macro usages in examples.
- deal with null()|null_mut() being returned from
functions, previously ignored.
- new macros: error_ptr & error_str to deal with
functions returning *mut T & *const c_char into
NcResult<&mut T> or NcResult<String>, respectively.
- made const NotcursesOptions constructors.
- refactor Notcurses constructors to return NcResult.
- pass NotcursesOptions by value, since it's Copy.
- update tests.
- add helper modules for Notcurses & NcPlane.
- new initialization functions to be used in tests.
- BONUS:
- refactor NcDirect
- update examples.
- change Option return type for NcResult when appropriate.
- make NcDirect constructors return NcResult.
- rename NcError::new() to with_msg() and simplify new().
- refactor examples:
- rename direct-image.rs to direct-image-c.rs
- recreate using rust methods, as direct-image-rust.rs
- differentiate more throughly between both styles.
- remove the sys namespace on both examples.
We need to use Result<> to manage error flow,
at least on the methods API. This way it will
finally feel idiomatic Rust and more concise.
Also, we can't return a non Result from main.
- rename NcResult to NcIntResult.
- new NcError & NcResult types.
- new error![] macro to reduce boilerplate.
- change return type of NcDirect methods to NcResult.
- refactor several examples to return NcResult:
direct-cursor, poc-direct & poc-kittyzapper.
- BONUS: fix test not stopping notcurses context.
- update lib doc-comment.
- fix typo in readme.
