If you're reading this because you try make sense of some new API or a breaking change, you might also be interested in coming to the chat for explanations or guidance.
- TextView::try_scroll_pages now accepts float values (anything
Into<f64>)
- reexport crossbeam
- new Ticker tool: emit tick(s) on a channel
- input_field#display returns the curstor position if it's rendered - experimental - Thanks @xubaiwang
- upgrade crossterm to 0.28
- fix compilation with
default-features = false- Fix #62
ask!macro doesn't need separate imports anymore
- update Crokey to 1.0.0

- Better support of repeated keys in EventSource
- EventSource by default mandates modifier (or space) for combinations with multiple simple keys. This can be changed with an option
- Major change: termimad and its coolor and crokey dependencies now use the version 0.27 of Crossterm, which brings many breaking changes but allows new capabilities in key events handling. Termimad's EventSource now outputs key combinations along crossterm events.
- paragraphs, code blocks, headers, and tables can be given a left_margin and a right_margin - Fix #11
- can_move_left and can_move_right functions on InputField

- fix shift-key extending the selection
- option for rounded corner tables in skin - see test-template example
skin.limit_to_ascii()makes the characters used for table borders, bullets, etc. be in the non extended ASCII range - see "high-compatibility" example
- attribute parsing support RapidBlink and SlowBlink
- better error reporting on parsing invalid grey level
- gray panicking on out of range level has been changed to a silent clamping
- skin now deserializable with serde
- several utilities to parse colors and style elements
- utility functions (
FmtText::content_widthandFmtText::set_rendering_width) and example (content-align) helping base alignments on the content's width rather than the terminal's width
- reexport coolor to ease dependency managment
- FmtText::raw_str function to build a text with no markdown interpretation
- with 1, 2, or 3 spaces before a bullet, you make a deeper list item - Fix #41
- expose the DisplayableLine struct, which can be useful for some widgets
- parsing markdown with options (clean indentation, continue spans); see parse-options example - Fix #38
- fix cases of selection becoming wider than content in input field
- fix coolor version to prevent a dependency version problem with crossterm
- reexport crossterm

- upgrade coolor to 0.4 (which is pure rust) to fix a cross-compilation problem
- better algorithm for fitting tables, taking into account the whole column and not just its max width
- some fitting functions which could panic on an assert in extrem cases now return a Result (there are unlikely to be used directly so this shouldn't lead to breaking changes)
- fix a case of crash in input field
- fix dimension of drawn Rect
- better support of wide characters in InputField
- update Crossterm to 0.22.1 to fix some bugs
- addition of the small
Rectutility, which lets you draw rects

- Remove the need to explicitly import minimad for crates using mad_print_inline!
- InputField: remove
\rfrom edited strings
- Minimad's new TableBuilder, a facility to build text templates for tables
- insert_str function in InputField
- Home and End key now move to start and end of lines (i.e. no more of text) in multi-lines input fields
- several improvements and small fixes in input fields and scrolling
- TextView and MadView don't erase right of their area anymore
- some scroll API now use unsigned ints instead of i32
- input fields much improved. Can now be several lines - see examples/inputs
- the API of InputFields changed - but adapting user code should be straighforward:
- Replace
set_content(&str)withset_str(AsRef<str>)orclear(). - Use
set_focus(bool)instead of thefocusedfield (now private). - Use
area()andset_area(Area)instead of theareafield (now private).

MadSkin::default_darkandMadSkin::default_light, two default skins suitable for specific kind of terminals
- change default skin to ensure it's readable whatever the terminal theme
ask!macro andQuestionAPI- the
mad_print_inlineandmad_write_inlinemacros now accept any argument supportingto_string()and not just&str - fix a bug making tables sometimes exceed the width limit

- improved heuristics for table fitting & wrapping
- upgrade crossterm to 0.20 (beware that crossterm's API changed)
- fix some problems (including a crash) with input_field.del_word_right
- eases imports: it's no more needed to import the lazy_static crate and no import is needed for using macros

- better column balancing in thight tables
- update crossbeam dependency to 0.8
- new version of minimad -> owning templates allow passing any Display as value
- styled_char and compound_style now implement Debug
- event source intercepts escape sequences and sends them (when finished) in a dedicated channel (not reading this bounded channel is possible: escape sequences are just dropped in that case)
- add the FitStr utility taken from broot (correct string cutting taking real char width in cols) (note that not all functions in termimad precisely take all chars width in cols into account)
- allow default value in template expansion
