BearLibTerminal / Changelog

0.15.0 (2017-01-09)

  • Add bbox and alignment parameters to print() function (instead of using in-string formatting tags).
  • Add bbox parameters to measure() function.
  • Add 'dead-center' tile alignment (centering by image's center of mass).
  • Add 'use-box-drawing' and 'use-block-elements' truetype font attributes (disables auto-generation of respective characters).
  • Add text resource descriptors (specifying resources inside a configuration string, e. g. codepages).
  • Add version property (available via get()).
  • Fix TrueType font alignment at arbitrary tile size.
  • Fix minor memory leaks (in X11Window and TrueType font constructors).
  • Fix keybad keys not producing character codes (TK_CHAR/TK_WCHAR states).

0.14.12 (2016-12-01)

  • Fix mapping of first 32 characters of CP437 codepage.
  • Fix priority of auto-generated Box Drawing tiles.
  • Fix crashing Python interpeter when exiting suddenly.
  • Add support for grayscale bitmap font images w/o transparency.
  • Setting a font without specifying a size parameter is not allowed anymore.
  • C#: minor wrapper improvements (function overloads and Size type support in Set/Get).

0.14.11 (2016-10-30)

  • Fix 'resize' parameter in bitmap tilesets (also change its meaning to target tile size).
  • Fix toggling fullscreen in Linux (_DIALOG window type is incompatible with _FULLSCREEN).
  • Fix crash under Wine (dynamic library was being unloaded way too early).
  • Fix crash on the older hardware (sprite textures were not honoring lack of NPOTD support).
  • Fix out-of-bounds reads in bilinear filter (produced artifacts on bitmap borders).
  • Add missing TK_MOUSE_SCROLL constant in Lua binding.

0.14.10 (2016-10-16)

  • The window is now centered on a screen at startup (see issue #15).
  • Add Cmd+Q app menu for OS X (issue #16).
  • Fix first redraw on OS X 10.11 (issue #14).
  • Fix flooding mouse-movement events (again, finally).
  • Python wrapper fixes (performance optimizations, check() behaviour, a bug in get(); see issue #17, issue #8).
  • Fix dynamically generated character U+2523.

0.14.8 (2016-09-06)

  • Custom colors in the palette (later available via color from name function and [color=name] formatting tag)
  • Specifying custom colors in a configuration file.
  • Fixed filtered events ordering (some events could have been lost before).
  • Delphi-compatible Pascal wrapper.

0.14.7 (2016-08-31)

  • Fixed parsing resource names (some absolute paths were incorrectly treated as memory addresses).

0.14.6 (2016-08-30)

  • 'System' events like TK_CLOSE are always read regardless of input filter.
    No need to explicitly specify them while setting the filter.

0.14.5 (2016-08-29)

  • Support for Lua 5.3
  • Fixed reading some configuration options.
  • Library does not block on input when the window is not yet shown (could deadlock).
  • Default input filter is 'keyboard, system' now (terminal read is equivalent to 'press any key').
  • Some minor cleanup.

0.14.4 (2016-08-17)

  • Fixed reading/updating single parameters in configuration file.

0.14.3 (2016-07-22)

  • Uniform in-memory resource loading.
  • Named alternative fonts.
