Suggestion to improve wezterm's changelog for readability

New stuff

Platform specific:

Removed and Changed stuff

  • Removed: Parasio Dark color scheme; it was a duplicate of the correctly named Paraiso Dark scheme. Thanks to @adrian5! #906
  • Changed: COLORTERM=truecolor is now set in the environment. #875
  • Changed: the homebrew tap is now a Cask that installs to the /Applications directory on macOS. Thanks to @laggardkernel!

Improved stuff

  • Option skip_close_confirmation_for_processes_named now includes common windows shell processes cmd.exe, pwsh.exe and powershell.exe. #843
  • Formatting of the new-tab button. Thanks to @sdrik! #950
  • Proper antialiasing for undercurl. Thanks to @ModProg! #838
  • Wezterm now respects default emoji presentation and explicit emoji variation selectors (VS15 and VS16) so that glyphs that have both textual (usually monochrome, single cell width) and emoji (color, double width) presentations can be more faithfully rendered. #997
  • Wezterm now uses the Dual Source Blending feature of OpenGL to manage subpixel anti-aliasing alpha blending, resulting in improved appearance particularly when using a transparent window over the top of something with a light background. #932
  • wezterm ls-fonts --list-system shows all available fonts, wezterm ls-fonts --text "hello" explains which fonts are used for each glyph in the supplied text
  • Improved VT102 conformance. Many thanks to Autumn Lamonte! #904
  • Can now recover from exhausting available texture space by clearing the screen. #879
  • DEC Special Graphics mode conformance and complete coverage of the graphics character set. Thanks to Autumn Lamonte! #891
  • Messaging around exit_behavior

Updated stuff

  • Updated bundled Noto Color Emoji font to version 2.028 featuring a design update. Thanks to @4cm4k1! #1003
  • Updated: conpty.dll to v1.9.1445.0; fixes color bar artifacts when resizing window and allows win32 console applications to use mouse events
  • Updated: ssh client now processes Include statements in ssh config ( FIXME: should be in Improved section?)

Fixed stuff

Platform specific:

  • Windows: detect window resizes while authenticating for wezterm ssh #696
  • Windows: first character after wezterm ssh keyboard authention was swallowed #771
