Release 1.12.0
Added
-----
* OSC-22 - set xcursor pointer.
* Add "xterm" as fallback cursor where "text" is not available.
* `[key-bindings].scrollback-home|end` options.
* Socket activation for `foot --server` and accompanying systemd unit files
* Support for re-mapping input, i.e. mapping input to custom escape
sequences (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/325).
* Support for [DECNKM](https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECNKM.html), which
allows setting/saving/restoring/querying the keypad mode.
* Sixel support can be disabled by setting `[tweak].sixel=no`
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/950).
* footclient: `-E,--client-environment` command line option. When
used, the child process in the new terminal instance inherits the
environment from the footclient process instead of the server’s
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1004).
* `[csd].hide-when-maximized=yes|no` option
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1019).
* Scrollback search mode now highlights all matches.
* `[key-binding].show-urls-persistent` action. This key binding action
is similar to `show-urls-launch`, but does not automatically exit
URL mode after activating an URL
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/964).
* Support for `CSI > 4 n`, disable _modifyOtherKeys_. Note that since
foot only supports level 1 and 2 (and not level 0), this sequence
does not disable _modifyOtherKeys_ completely, but simply reverts it
back to level 1 (the default).
* `-Dtests=false|true` meson command line option. When disabled, test
binaries will neither be built, nor will `ninja test` attempt to
execute them. Enabled by default
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/919).
Changed
-------
* Minimum required meson version is now 0.58.
* Mouse selections are now finalized when the window is resized
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/922).
* OSC-4 and OSC-11 replies now uses four digits instead of 2
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/971).
* `\r` is no longer translated to `\n` when pasting clipboard data
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/980).
* Use circles for rendering light arc box-drawing characters
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/988).
* Example configuration is now installed to
`${sysconfdir}/xdg/foot/foot.ini`, typically resolving to
`/etc/xdg/foot/foot.ini`
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1001).
Removed
-------
* DECSET mode 27127 (which was first added in release 1.6.0).
The kitty keyboard protocol (added in release 1.10.3) can
be used to similar effect.
Fixed
-----
* Build: missing `wayland_client` dependency in `test-config`
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/918).
* “(null)” being logged as font-name (for some fonts) when warning
about a non-monospaced primary font.
* Rare crash when the window is resized while a mouse selection is
ongoing (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/922).
* Large selections crossing the scrollback wrap-around
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/924).
* Crash in `pipe-scrollback`
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/926).
* Exit code being 0 when a foot server with no open windows terminate
due to e.g. a Wayland connection failure
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/943).
* Key binding collisions not detected for bindings specified as option
overrides on the command line.
* Crash when seat has no keyboard
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/963).
* Key presses with e.g. `AltGr` triggering key combinations with the
base symbol (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/983).
* Underline cursor sometimes being positioned too low, either making
it look thinner than what it should be, or being completely
invisible (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1005).
* Fallback to `/etc/xdg` if `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` is unset
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1008).
* Improved compatibility with XTerm when `modifyOtherKeys=2`
(https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1009).
* Window geometry when CSDs are enabled and CSD border width set to a
non-zero value. This fixes window snapping in e.g. GNOME.
* Window size “jumping” when starting an interactive resize when CSDs
are enabled, and CSD border width set to a non-zero value.
* Key binding overrides on the command line having no effect with
`footclient` instances (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/931).
* Search prev/next not updating the selection correctly when the
previous and new match overlaps.
* Various minor fixes to scrollback search, and how it finds the
next/prev match.
