Release 1.6.3

Added
-----

* Completions for fish shell
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/11)
* FreeBSD support (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/238).
* IME popup location support: foot now sends the location of the cursor
  so any popup can be displayed near the text that is being typed.

Changed
-------

* Trailing comments in `foot.ini` must now be preceded by a space or tab
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/270)
* The scrollback search box no longer accepts non-printable characters.
* Non-formatting C0 control characters, `BS`, `HT` and `DEL` are now
  stripped from pasted text.

Fixed
-----

* Exit when the client application terminates, not when the TTY file
  descriptor is closed.
* Crash on compositors not implementing the _text input_ interface
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/259).
* Erased, overflowing glyphs (when
  `tweak.allow-overflowing-double-width-glyphs=yes` - the default) not
  properly erasing the cell overflowed **into**.
* `word-delimiters` option ignores `#` and subsequent characters
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/270)
* Combining characters not being rendered when composed with colored
  bitmap glyphs (i.e. colored emojis).
* Pasting URIs from the clipboard when the source has not
  newline-terminated the last URI
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/291).
* Sixel “current geometry” query response not being bounded by the
  current window dimensions (fixes `lsix` output)
* Crash on keyboard input when repeat rate was zero (i.e. no repeat).
* Wrong button encoding of mouse buttons 6 and 7 in mouse events.
* Scrollback search not matching composed characters.
* High CPU usage when holding down e.g. arrow keys while in scrollback
  search mode.
* Rendering of composed characters in the scrollback search box.
* IME pre-edit cursor when positioned at the end of the pre-edit
  string.
* Scrollback search not matching multi-column characters.
