- Update to 1.12.0:
  * The ImageMagick dependency is now optional and deprecated.
    Packagers are encouraged to drop the ImageMagick dependency (--without-imagemagick)
    and add direct dependencies on relevant image codecs.
    ImageMagick support will be removed in a future release.
  * Added image loaders for the following formats: JPEG, SVG, TIFF, WebP.
    Like the existing GIF, PNG and XWD loaders, these are much faster and
    generally safer than their ImageMagick counterparts. If ImageMagick is
    enabled, it will be used as a fallback. Supported image loaders will
    be listed in the --version output.
  * Implemented a 16/8 mode producing 8 colors and an additional 8 bright
    foreground-only colors for a total of 16 foreground and 8 background colors.
    When using ANSI escape sequences in symbol mode, the sequence for bold
    text is used to enable bright colors. This scheme corresponds to that of
    the IBM PC's VGA hardware text modes and was popular with terminal
    emulators in the late 1980s to early 2000s.
    With a few tweaks, output from this mode can be turned into ANSI art scene
    .ANS files compatible with utilities like the wonderful Ansilove[2], e.g:
    $ chafa -f symbols -c 16/8 -s 80 --symbols space+solid+half --fill stipple \
        in.jpg | tr -d '\n' | iconv -c -f utf8 -t cp437 > out.ans
    $ ansilove out.ans -o out.png
  * New builtin Latin symbols (available with --symbols latin). This class
    comprises most of the symbols from the Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A
    and -B, IPA Extensions and Spacing Modifier Letters plus a few Latin-like
    symbols from other ranges, using Terminus as the reference font.
    The ASCII class is also a subset of this class.
  * Reworked ASCII symbols to be more representative of modern terminal fonts.
    As with the other Latin ranges, the reference font is now Terminus.
  * New option: --scale <n>. This takes a real number specifying the on-screen
    scaling factor relative to the input's pixel size, respecting the terminal

- Update to 1.10.2:
  * Added disclosure guidelines in SECURITY.md
  * Fix huntr.dev: Null pointer dereference in libnsgif with crafted GIF file

  * [unfiled] Very big images could cause absurd allocation requests
    triggering an abort in the loader.

- Update to 0.10.0:
  * New option: --animate <bool>. On by default. Can be turned off
    to replace animations with a still frame #79.
  * New option: --center <bool> or -C <bool>. Off by default. Can
    be turned on to center images #83.
  * New options: --margin-bottom <n> and --margin-right <n>. These
    permit using all available space (with --margin-bottom 0) or some
    smaller amount #61.
  * New option: --polite <bool>. On by default. Can be turned off to
    correct issues caused by previous terminal state (e.g. no sixel scrolling)
    and improve presentation (e.g. by temporarily hiding the cursor). This can
    leave the terminal in an altered state, which is somewhat rude.
  * New option: --threads <n>. Allows manually specifying the number of threads to
    use. Defaults to one per detected logical CPU core.
  * When invoked with redirected input and no arguments, act like a
    filter as if invoked with -.
  * If input or output is being redirected, default to playing animations only once
    instead of looping forever. This can be overridden with -d inf.
  * Replaced obsolete Autoconf macros.
  * Improved image loaders:
    + GIF: Load GIF87a images as well as GIF89a.
    + PNG: Add an internal copy of LodePNG, bypassing ImageMagick.
      This improves performance and helps with eventually phasing out the latter.
    + XWD: Support images generated by convert.
  * Improved terminal support:
    + Contour: Enable sixel support.
    + foot: Open-ended TERM string matching.
    + Konsole: Enable sixel support.
    + WezTerm: Enable sixel support.
  * Bug fixes:

- Update to 1.8.0:
  * Added basic support for the Kitty and iTerm2 graphics protocols.
    These are enabled automatically when corresponding terminal support
    is detected, or manually with -f kitty or -f iterm.
  * Implemented an 8-color mode, selectable with -c 8
  * Implemented a foreground-only switch, --fg-only. This produces
    character art using foreground colors only, and will avoid
    modifying or resetting the background color. Looks best with
    non-contiguous symbols (e.g. ascii).
  * Added builtins for Japanese kana fullwidth symbols. These can
    now be used without loading any external fonts (try -c none --symbols wide).
  * Added builtins for legacy computer symbols (mainly wedges and
    sextant blocks). These were widely used in PETSCII and Teletext,
    and can be enabled using --symbols or --fill with their respective
    tags: legacy, wedge and sextant (@hodefoting).
  * Since there is a growing number of builtin symbols that may not
    be available everywhere, the default selection has been restricted
    to the widely supported block and border sets.
  * If possible, we now select a visually blank character from the
    specified symbol/fill sets instead of hardcoding ASCII space for
    featureless cells. One practical upshot of this is that the constant-width
    braille range can be used to produce consistent images even in contexts
    with variable-width fonts. U+2800 (BRAILLE PATTERN BLANK) will then be used in blank cells.
  * Improved terminal size detection when used with pipelines and redirection.
    This should now produce an image properly sized for your terminal:
    curl https://i.imgur.com/WFDEFVg.jpeg | chafa - | tee out
  * ChafaCanvas gained API functions for programmatically getting and
    setting character cell contents. These are used in a new example
    in tests/ncurses.c demonstrating ncurses integration.
  * Made --disable-rpath the default in order to simplify packaging.

- Update to 1.6.0:
  * Added support for fullwidth symbols that take up two character
    cells. These are common in East Asian scripts. Single-cell and
    double-cell symbols can be mixed, and -f symbols mode will use
    both if possible.
  * New symbol tags: alpha, digit, alnum, narrow, wide, ambiguous,
    ugly, bad. "Ambiguous" symbols have uncertain widths and may
    render poorly in some terminals. "Ugly" denotes symbols that
    are unsuitable for Chafa's cell-based graphics (multicolor
    emoji, ideographic descriptors, etc). "Bad" is a superset of
    these two categories. Bad symbols are always excluded unless
    explicitly enabled with e.g. CHAFA_SYMBOL_TAG_BAD (--symbols
    +bad in the frontend).
  * The font loader (--glyph-file option) now does a better job
    with proportional fonts.
  * Added options for controlling lossless optimization of output.
    Currently, attribute reuse and character repetition (REP
    sequence) are implemented.
  * Added -O option to the frontend. This controls the optimization
    level.
  * Added a simple abstraction layer for terminal control sequences
    (ChafaTermInfo and ChafaTermDb). This allows for improved
    terminal support.
  * FbTerm is now supported with TERM=fbterm in the environment.
  * Bug fixes:
    - #43 Fix signal handler.
    - [unfiled] Crash when invalid font paths were passed on command line.
    - [unfiled] Small typo in fontgen's READM).
    - [unfiled] Bad contrast adjustment in images with transparency.
