mdcat

Changed

• Update pulldown-cmark to 0.9.1 which fixes a minor parsing issue.

Changed

• Update pulldown-cmark to 0.9.
• Buffer writes to terminal and pager, to reduce the amount of syscalls.

Added

• Added support for $TERM=foot* (see GH-193).

Fixed

• Fix compiler error with newer anyhow versions (see GH-192).

Fixed

• Fix semi-broken release.
• Document support for foot in manpage.

Added

• Support for foot (see GH-190).

Changed

• WezTerm is now detected by TERM and TERM_PROGRAM environment variables (see GH-186).

Changed

• Use TERM_PROGRAM for determining WezTerm terminal (see GH-185).

Added

• Support for WezTerm (see GH-182).
• Add PowerShell completions (see GH-183 and GH-184).

Changed

• Update dependencies

Added

• Refuse to read more than 100MiB from external resources, e.g. images; mdcat cannot display images of that size reasonably anyway (see GH-176).

Fixed

• Fix type error on FreeBSD (see GH-177).

Changed

• Replace reqwest with ureq to fetch images via HTTP/HTTPS (see GH-168 and GH-169);
  the latter has considerably less dependencies and builds faster.
  It also builds statically out of the box, hence the static musl builds no longer require curl to fetch images.

Removed

• The reqwest cargo feature (see GH-168 and GH-169).

Added

• Enable OSC8 hyperlinks in Kitty (see GH-165).
  Kitty supports hyperlinks since version 0.19, see Kitty GH-68.
  Note that mdcat unconditionally prints hyperlinks if it detects a kitty terminal.
  It makes no attempt to detect whether the Kitty version is compatible or the allow_hyperlinks setting is enabled.
• mdcat --version (but not mdcat -V) now informs whether HTTP/HTTPS support is builtin or requires curl.
• mdcat now includes a manpage (see GH-167).

Changed

• mdcat now asks the controlling terminal for the terminal size and thus correctly detects the terminal size even if standard input, s>
• mdcat no longer requires kitty icat to detect the size of kitty windows (see GH-166).
  Consequently mdcat can now show images on Kitty terminals even over SSH.
• mdcat --help no longer uses colours, and always wraps at 80 characters now.

Fixed

• Include manpage source in Windows packages.
  Currently the manpage doesn't build on Windows CI.

Fixed

• Update pulldown cmark to correctly ignore footnote refs (see GH-155).

Added

• Add --paginate flag to paginate the output of mdcat (see GH-152);
  with this flag mdcat sends it output to less -R or any alternative pager set in $MDCAT_PAGER or $PAGER.
  This flag also disables all terminal-specific formatting as the pager likely won't support it.
• Paginate output by default if invoked as mdless, that is, if mdcat is hard-linked to mdless.

Fixed

• Render email autolinks (i.e. <[email protected]>) as mailto: links.

Added

• mdcat::TerminalCapabilities now exposes constructors for specific terminal emulators.
• Render reference link definitions as inline links if possible (see GH-149).
  This mainly affects image links inside inline links which get rendered as reference links.
• mdcat::Environment now contains all environment information required to render properly, namely the local hostname and the base URL.

Changed

• mdcat::push_tty now takes an mdcat::Environment instead of base_dir.
  base_dir is now part of mdcat::Environment.
• Image links now use purple foreground text (see GH-140 and GH-149).
• Image links render as inline links if the terminal does not support inline images and the image is not inside another link (see GH-141).
• mdcat::TerminalCapabilities now uses Option to denote missing capabilities.

Fixed

• Always treat links targets as URLs, never as paths.
• On ITerm2 only use the last segment of image URLs as filename for inline images (see GH-149).
  Previously mdcat used the full URL based on a misunderstanding of the Inline Images Protocol.

Added

• Release packages now include generated shell completions for Bash, Zsh and Fish.

Changed

• Blockquotes no longer have green foreground text (see GH-144).

Fixed

• Fix typo in release workflow.
• Update all dependencies to no longer depend on yanked crate versions.

Fixed

• Properly ignore alt text of inline images (see GH-148).

Added

• Add mdcat::Error as type alias to std::io::Error.

Changed

• New simpler rendering algorithm (see GH-142) which solves numerous rendering issues (see below).
• Handle internal errors with anyhow to add more context to errors (see GH-139).
• mdcat::push_tty only fails with std::io::Error: mdcat never visibly
  fails unless it can’t write output.

Fixed

• Respect --local-only and resource access policy; this got lost in some
  refactoring (see GH-146).
• Consistent margins and newlines around paragraphs, HTML blocks and inside list
  items (see GH-142).
• Correctly indent nested code blocks in lists and block quotes (see GH-142).
• No longer print leading blank lines before lists (see GH-142).
• Correctly indent block quotes (see GH-142).
• Colorize the entire text of links (see GH-142).
