mdcat

Changed

• Update all dependencies, in particular syntect to 5.0.0 and pulldown-cmark to 0.9.2.

Fixed

• Build error on Windows (see #201).

Added

• Add extensive tracing output, to aid debugging (see #147).

Changed

• mdcat no longer invokes file to detect SVG images, but now requires the presence of a system-wide magic database (see #154).
  Disable default features to restore the previous behaviour to invoke file to detect mimetypes.

Fixed

• File completion with zsh (see #198).

Changed

• Always output links as OSC-8 hyperlinks unless --dump is given.
  In particular, mdcat now prints hyperlinks if invoked as mdless or with -p, as recent less versions support OCS-8 hyperlinks (see GH-191).

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

• 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).

Changed

• Update pulldown-cmark to 0.7.

Added

• Release builds now perform full link-time optimization to create a smaller
  binary. We do recommend to also strip the mdcat binary.
• Render SVG images in [kitty] (see GH-114).
• Update to reqwest 0.10.
• Process file list as input (see GH-54 and GH-115, by @norman-abramovitz):
  • Add --fail flag to exit on the first error when processing a file list;
    the default behaviour is to continue with the next file in case of error.

Changed

• Replace remote_resources feature with reqwest feature to use reqwest for
  retrieving remote resources, and fall back to the curl command if reqwest
  is disabled.

Added

• Render task lists nicely (see GH-72).
• Render strike-through text (see GH-71). Some terminals do not support this
  feature, and mdcat does not have a fallback currently (see GH-73).

Fixed

• Do not add newline after inline text with styles disabled (see GH-49).

Added

• Add TerminalCapability struct as replacement for mdcat::Terminal trait to
  remove dynamic dispatch and allow for more accurate and less complicated
  conditional compilation of terminal support for different platforms (see
  GH-45).
• Move to Rust 2018, and raise minimum supported Rust version to 1.31 (see
  GH-46).

Changed

• Drop support for Rust 1.29 and older.
• Do not test specific Rust on versions on Travis CI any longer; Rust stable
  becomes the lowest supported Rust version.

Removed

• mdcat::Terminal trait and implementations (see GH-45).

Fixed

• Set hostname to local hostname for inline links to file:// URLs, which
  should properly resolve file:// URLs over SSH (see OSC 8 file URLs,
  GH-42 and GH-44).

Changed

• Always print colours regardless of whether stdout if a tty or not.
• Replace --colour option with a --no-colour flag to turn off styled output.
• mdcat::push_tty no longer takes ownership of the terminal argument (see
  GH-41).

Fixed

• Properly package musl binary on Travis CI; restores Linux binary in releases.

Added

• Support colours on Windows 10 console (see GH-36).
• Support musl target on Linux (see GH-37 and GH-38).
• Published Linux binary statically links musl now, and has no runtime
  dependencies (see GH-29 and GH-38).

Fix auto-published binaries for macOS and Linux.

Added

• mdcat builds on Windows now (see GH-33 and GH-34).

Changed

• Refactor internal terminal representation, replacing the terminal enum with a
  new Terminal trait and dynamic dispatch (see GH-35).
• Disable specific terminal backends by default (see GH-35). You must build
  with --feature to enable iTerm2 or Terminology.
• Update minimum Rust version to 1.27.

Added

• Render SVG images in iTerm2 with rsvg-convert (requires librsvg).
• Expose TerminalWrite in mdcat crate (see [GH-20][]).
