- 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.
