This document attempts to list user-visible changes and any major internal
rearrangements of Notcurses.
* 1.2.7 (not yet released)
* Plots now always keep the most recent data to their far right (i.e., the
gap that is initially filled is on the left, rather than the right).
* 1.2.6
* `ncplane_putsimple_yx()` and `ncplane_putstr_yx()` have been exported as
static inline functions.
* `ncplane_set_scrolling()` has been added, allowing control over whether a
plane scrolls. All planes, including the standard plane, do not scroll by
default. If scrolling is enabled, text output via the `*put*` family of
functions continues onto the next line when encountering the end of a row.
This does not apply to e.g. boxes or lines.
* `ncplane_putstr_yx()` now always returns the inverse of the number of
columns advanced on an error (it used to return the positive short count so
long as the error was due to plane geometry, not bad input).
* `ncplot_add_sample()` and `ncplot_set_sample()` have been changed to accept
a `uint64_t` rather than `int64_t`, since negative samples do not
currently make sense. Plots were made more accurate in general.
* `notcurses_term_dim_yx()` now accepts a `const struct notcurses*`.
* `notcurses_resize()` is no longer exported. It was never necessary to call
this in response to a resize, despite confusing documentation that could
have been read to suggest otherwise. If you're in a long block on input, and
get an `NCKEY_RESIZE`, just call `notcurses_refresh()` (which now calls
`notcurses_resize()` internally, as `notcurses_render()` always has).
* First Fedora packaging.
* 1.2.5
* Add ncplot, with support for sliding-windowed horizontal histograms.
* gradient, polyfill, `ncplane_format()` and `ncplane_stain()` all now return
the number of cells written on success. Failure still sees -1 returned.
* `ncvisual_render()` now returns the number of cells emitted on success, as
opposed to 0. Failure still sees -1 returned.
* `ncvisual_render()` now interprets length parameters of -1 to mean "to the
end along this axis", and no longer interprets 0 to mean this. 0 now means
"a length of 0", resulting in a zero-area rendering.
* `notcurses_at_yx()` no longer accepts a `cell*` as its last parameter.
Instead, it accepts a `uint32_t*` and a `uint64_t*`, and writes the
attribute and channels to these parameters. This was done because the
`gcluster` field of the `cell*` was always set to 0, which was surprising
and a source of blunders. The EGC is returned via the `char*` return
value. https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/410
* 1.2.4 2020-03-24
* Add ncmultiselector
* Add `ncdirect_cursor_enable()` and `ncdirect_cursor_disable()`.
