After you merge your first pull request, we'll send you a few more. We'll never open more than seven PRs at the same time so you're not getting overwhelmed with updates.

Release Notes

4.19.0

🚀 Features

• The minimum contrast ratio feature will now change luminance in the opposite direction if the contrast ratio isn't met (#3806, #3808) via @Tyriar. For example a red foreground on a slightly darker red background will try lighten the color and if the minimumContrastRatio option isn't met when #FFFFFF is reached it will try moving it towards #000000. This can cause somewhat unexpected results by changing explicitly styled whites to blacks for example but it's really good for accessibility.
• The library now supports parsing #rgb, #rgba, rgb(r, g, b) and rgba(r, g, b, a) color formats (#3815, #3819, #3823) via @ChaseKnowlden, @Tyriar
• Opaque selectionBackground is now supported in the DOM renderer (#3839) via @Tyriar
• The symbol powerline font glyphs now use custom rendering when ITerminalOptions.customGlyphs is enabled (#3856, #3862, #3866) via @Tyriar
  
  This has multiple benefits:
  • A patched powerlines font doesn't need to be installed to render the most common characters
  • Ugly lines due to anti-aliasing that can appear no longer do
  • The glyphs always use greyscale anti-aliasing (not sub-pixel)
  • ITerminalOptions.lineHeight is taken into account when rendering the glyph

📦 API

• The overview ruler is a companion feature to the decorations introduced in 4.18.0 which shows little indicators on the scroll bar (#3676, #3687, #3688, #3689, #3693, #3694, #3695, #3697, #3702, #3711, #3723, #3730, #3733, #3738, #3788, #3791, #3792, #3841) via @meganrogge, @Tyriar. To use it, add the overviewRulerOptions property to a decoration's IDecorationOptions and it will automatically show up in the overview ruler.

  const marker = term.addMarker(1);
  const decoration = term.registerDecoration({
    marker,
    x: 5,
    overviewRulerOptions: {
      color: '#FF0000',
      position: 'left'
    }
  });
  decoration.onRender(() => {
    decoration.element.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
  });

  The width of the resulting overview ruler is controlled by ITerminalOptions.overviewRulerWidth.
• Decorations can now change a cell's background and foreground colors (#3775, #3782) via @Tyriar. When this is set, the minimum contrast ratio feature will also be in effect.

  const decoration = term.registerDecoration({
    marker,
    backgroundColor: '#ff0000',
    foregroundColor: '#ffffff'
  });

• Decorations can now specify the layer property to allow rendering above the selection (#3785, #3800) via @Tyriar

  const decoration = term.registerDecoration({
    marker,
    layer: 'top'
  });

• There's a new selectionForeground theme color, when set this will use a static color for selections (#3813) via @Tyriar

  const term = new Terminal({
    theme: {
      selectionBackground: '#000000',
      selectionForeground: '#FFFFFF'
    }
  });

👉 No CI detected

You don't seem to have any Continuous Integration service set up!

Without a service that will test the Depfu branches and pull requests, we can't inform you if incoming updates actually work with your app. We think that this degrades the service we're trying to provide down to a point where it is more or less meaningless.

This is fine if you just want to give Depfu a quick try. If you want to really let Depfu help you keep your app up-to-date, we recommend setting up a CI system:

• Circle CI, Semaphore and Travis-CI are all excellent options.
• If you use something like Jenkins, make sure that you're using the Github integration correctly so that it reports status data back to Github.
• If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check your configuration. Make sure it will run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with depfu/.
