TL;DR Many thanks to all for the great support and feedback. This release
marks a huge milestone for me especially with regards to VT backend performance(!),
improved rendering architecture, and a more complete list of pixel perfect box drawings.

  • Fixes installation from .deb (missing terminfo dependency)
  • Fixes PTY write race condition.
  • Fixes VT sequence DECFI.
  • Fixes VT sequence ICH (#559).
  • Fixes VT sequence OSC 4's response.
  • Fixes VT sequence OESC 4 to also support setting color via #RRGGBB.
  • Fixes VT sequence extension: capture buffer (#493).
  • Fixes DECRC with respect to DECSTBM enabled and DECOM being inverted interpreted.
  • Fixes XTGETTCAP (#582).
  • Fixes SU in combination with DECLRM (#593).
  • Fixes an assertion in text renderer.
  • Fixes wrongly advertising DEC locator mode (it is not supported).
  • Improved VT backend performance (#342).
  • Improved text selection behaviour.
  • Improved detection of runtime DPI changes for KDE (Plasma) desktop environment.
  • Improves Window manipulation VT sequence for saving/restoring window title (CSI 22 ; Ps t, CSI 23 ; Ps t)
  • Adds pixel-perfect box-drawing for U+EE00 .. U+EE05 for progress bar glyphs as first introduced by Fira Code (#521).
  • Adds pixel-perfect box-drawing for U+E0B0, U+E0B2, U+E0BA (Triangle Powerline glyphs).
  • Adds preliminary implementation of DA3 VT sequence.
  • Adds new configuration option mouse_block_selection_modifier.
  • Adds new configuration option profiles.*.copy_last_mark_range_offset (default 0) to adjust where to start looking upwards for the CopyPreviousMarkRange action. This is useful for multi-line prompts.
  • Adds new configuration option platform_plugin.
  • Adds new configuration option renderer.backend for explicitly setting renderer to one of: OpenGL, software, default.
  • Adds new configuration option renderer.tile_hashtable_slots to configure texture atlas hashtable capacity.
  • Adds new configuration option renderer.tile_cache_count to configure texture atlas cache capacity.
  • Adds new configuration option renderer.tile_direct_mapping to enable/disalbe texture atlas direct mapping.
  • Adds new colorscheme setting background_image.path and background_image.opacity to optionally render a terminal background image.
  • Adds stdout-fastpipe support on new shell file descriptor 3 and exposing availability via environment variable STDOUT_FASTPIPE (with value 3). When writing to this file descriptor rather than to stdout (file descriptor 1), the full performance of Contour can be explored.
  • Adds new configuration option pty_buffer_size for tweaking the new size in bytes for the PTY buffer objects.
  • Adds mock font locator (mostly interesting for advanced use for CI testing).
  • Adds VT sequence SM ? 8452 h / RM ? 8452 l for enabling/disabling sixel cursor placement conformance (xterm extension).
  • Adds SGR-Pixels support, VT sequence SM ? 1016 h / RM ? 1016 l (#574).
  • Adds VT sequence DECCARA, Change Attributes in Rectangular Area, with the extension that it applies to all SGR attributes. (#15).

Important: It is recommended to also use the latest contour termcap file if you are already using one
from a previous release.

  • Fixes installation from .deb (missing terminfo dependency)
  • Fixes Sixel image rendering when scrolling is needed and ANSI cursor is not on left margin.
  • Fixes Qt-related CLI options that that were largely ignored.
  • Fixes crash caused by VT sequence PM and SOS (#513).
  • Fixes parsing VT sequence RGB color parsing for cell decoratioins (e.g. underline).
  • Fixes double-underline to not look like a very thick line on small font sizes.
  • Applies antialiasing to curly underline.
  • Changes contour exit code to reflect the shell's exit code of the last closed window.
  • Improves text cursor rendering and extends cursor configuration accordingly (#526).
  • Improves visual appearance of dotted underline SGR.
  • Adds CLI option terminal early-exit-threshold SECS (defaulting to 6) to only report and wait if the process did exit below this threshold seconds.
  • Adds CLI option terminal dump-state-at-exit to auto-dump internal state at exit.
  • Adds support for CoreText for matching font descriptions and font fallback (#479).
  • Adds support for font feature settings. This is currently only implemented for openshaper, not yet for dwrite (#520).
  • Adds pixel-perfect box-drawing for U+E0B4, U+E0B6, U+E0BC, U+E0BE (some Powerline extended codepoints).
