v0.4.2

fix(build): vendor openssl for git2 to fix macOS x86_64 cross-compile

git2's default features include https, which pulls in openssl-sys.
On macos-latest (aarch64) cross-compiling to x86_64, pkg-config can't
locate openssl for the target triple, causing the release build to fail.

Adding 'vendored-openssl' bundles openssl with libgit2, removing the
system dependency and making the cross-compile deterministic.

v0.4.0

Release v0.4.0 🚀

This release delivers major performance optimizations across startup latency, terminal throughput, and GPU rendering, while also fixing visual issues and introducing a comprehensive benchmarking suite for competitive performance analysis.

⚡ Performance & I/O Improvements

Increased PTY Buffer Size

• Increased PTY read buffer size from 8KB to 64KB in terminal_state.rs.
• Significantly reduces system calls and context switching during heavy terminal output workloads.
• Improves throughput and responsiveness when processing large volumes of text.

Lazy Font Loading

• Refactored the font atlas in atlas.rs to pre-render only essential ASCII characters and common punctuation at startup:

  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789.- :
  

• Additional glyphs are now rasterized on demand.

• Reduced window startup time by approximately 31%, from ~1.67s to ~1.15s.

GPU ShaderModule Caching

• Implemented a static shader cache using std::sync::OnceLock in pipeline.rs.
• WGSL shaders are compiled only once and reused across the application.
• Eliminates redundant shader compilation when resizing atlases or creating new windows.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed Invisible Text in "About Fasty"

• Resolved a texture binding issue in pipeline.rs.
• The UI was incorrectly using the main text bind_group instead of the dedicated ui_bind_group.
• Version information and application description now render correctly.

Configuration-Aware Font Integration

• Updated the About window to dynamically use the font family selected in user settings.
• Removed reliance on statically loaded fonts that may not exist on the host system.
• Ensures consistent typography across the entire application.

---

📊 Benchmarking & Testing

End-to-End Benchmark Suite

• Added benchmark_e2e.py for automated performance testing.

• Supports:

  • Building Fasty automatically.
  • Generating large text and ANSI color payloads.
  • Measuring execution latency.
  • Comparing performance against Ghostty and Konsole.

VTE Parser Micro-Benchmarks

• Added Criterion-based benchmarks in benches/parser_bench.rs.
• Provides detailed performance validation for the terminal parser.
• Enables regression detection and optimization tracking over time.

---

Summary

• ⚡ Up to 31% faster startup times through lazy font loading.
• 📈 Improved terminal throughput with a 64KB PTY buffer.
• 🎮 Reduced GPU overhead through shader caching.
• 🐛 Fixed rendering issues in the About window.
• 🔤 Proper integration with user-selected fonts.
• 📊 Added comprehensive benchmarking infrastructure against competing terminals.

v0.3.7

What's Changed in v0.3.7 🚀

This release delivers significant performance improvements, Chrome-style tab tearing, multiple bug fixes, and a cleaner, more maintainable codebase.

⚡ Performance

Instant Window Spawning

• Shared GPU glyph and UI atlases across all window renderers using Arc<wgpu::Texture>.
• New windows and detached tabs now spawn almost instantly (<1ms).
• Eliminates the previous 200–500ms texture allocation overhead.

---

🗂 User Experience

Chrome-Style Tab Tearing

• Tabs detach as soon as they leave the window bounds during dragging.
• Detached windows automatically appear under the mouse cursor.
• Seamlessly transitions into an OS-level window drag operation.

Drag Threshold Fix

• Fixed drag_start_y initialization.
• Tab dragging now correctly respects the 5px movement threshold on both X and Y axes.

---

🛠 Codebase Improvements

Cleanup

• Removed compiler warnings and unused variables across:

  • main.rs
  • pipeline.rs
  • atlas.rs
  • widgets/mod.rs

Dead Code Removal

• Removed the legacy src/pty/ implementation in favor of the portable-pty architecture.

• Deleted unused helper methods:

  • mark_dirty()
  • strip_osc7_prefix()
  • palette_label()
  • basename_of()

• Removed the unused proxy field and related WindowContext parameters.

---

Summary

• ⚡ Near-instant window creation.
• 🖱 Smooth Chrome-like tab tearing.
• 🐛 Improved drag behavior and bug fixes.
• 🧹 Cleaner, leaner, and more maintainable codebase.

v0.3.6-perf

perf(v0.3.6): reduce binary size 17MB->14MB, memory by ~10MB

Binary optimizations (17MB -> 14MB, -18%):
- image: default-features=false, features=[png] (drops avif, exr, tiff, webp, gif, etc)
- alacritty_terminal: default-features=false (drops serde)
- wgpu: default-features=false per-platform (drops unused backends)
- winit: default-features=false, features=[rwh_06, x11, wayland, wayland-dlopen]
- arboard: default-features=false (drops image dep on Windows)
- resvg/usvg: default-features=false (drops gif, webp, memmap-fonts)
- tiny-skia: default-features=false, features=[std] (drops png-format)
- Drop unused x11 direct dep (winit handles it)
- LTO: thin -> fat for slightly better optimization

Memory optimizations (~10MB savings):
- Font atlas: 1536x1536 -> 1024x1024 (-5.4MB GPU)
- Scrollback default: 3000 -> 1000 lines (-4MB per tab)
- LTO: true -> fat
