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()).
- improve NcVisual.from_rgba documentation.
- fix Notcurses.term_dim_yx documentation.
- new example `poc-planebase` to help find the bug.
- improve full-capabilities example a little.
- rename and refactor NcPlane method rgba() to as_rgba().
- add example `issue-rgba` that shows a problem when the plane has text.
- refactor `error_ref` & `error_ref_mut` macros to allow custom return values
- refactor Notcurses.palette_size() to return an NcResult.
- refactor & rename example direct-text.rs to direct-capabilities.rs.
- new example full-capabilities.rs
- update NcCell documentation according to last release.
- implement NcCell.load method.
- bonus: remove old "width bias" info from the python bindings.
- bonus: add some (commented out) profile settings to Cargo.toml.
- raw field of new wrapping structs is now public just to the crate.
- NcNotcurses.stdplane method now doesn't return an NcResult since it can't fail.
- rename NcNotcurses to Notcurses and NcNotcursesOptions to NotcursesOptions.
- rename NcPlane::new_termsize constructor to with_termsize.
- bump MSV to 1.48 for the doc links.
- improve lib documentation.
- minor fixes.
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.
- make char: all NCKEY_* constants.
- make const fn: nckey_mouse_p, ncinput_equal_p & NcInput::new.
- make rsleep!() return the notcurses_render() result.
- new Notcurses constructor with_flags().
- new example: full-input.rs.
- fix comments.
Some EGCs are more than 2 columns (wcwidth() never returns more than 2, so far as i can tell, but when multiple characters combine, we use the sum). An example would be ကြေ (Myanmar) which occupies three columns over the course of three characters. Track the width (biased by 1) in cell->width, taking over 8 bits from cell->reserved. Use this width in rasterization. Closes#1203.
- Preparing to host the documentation in the github pages, at least until
- libnotcurses-sys can get into Ubuntu 20.
- fix Cargo.toml, add documentation link.
- update documentation link in README.
- improve lib doc comment, among others.
- add NcChannel methods
- add the `NcChannelMethods` Trait to be able to use them,
since you can't implement methods over a primitive otherwise, unlike over a struct like NcPlane. And NcChannel is a type alias of `u32`.
- create more channel functions, to set the r,g,b separately.
- made some functions const
- add new rsleep![] macro, for rendering before sleeping.
- improve doc comments.
- fix previous commits.
