0.9.1

Code fix to compile FINAL CUT with gcc 14

0.9.0

What's new:

• Switched to the C++14 language standard
• Strict use of trailing return type
• The virtual window management has been completely rewritten and is now much faster
• The way a widget gets focus has been changed. Sending focus events is no longer a separate step
• Reduced number of cycles to save CPU time
• Speed up parsing of UTF-8 input
• Added a ring buffer to hold unprocessed keyboard and mouse input. Benefits: pre-allocated memory and no expensive data copying or clearing
• The output buffer queue has also been replaced with a ring buffer to improve performance
• Key sequences are now identified using a hash map to speed up escape sequence searches
• Speed up the drawing of shadows and boxes
• Text highlighting (color and style) for the FTextView widget
• FDialogListMenu is now automatically enabled and disabled depending on the number of dialogs
• FFileDialog now shows the file filter in the title bar
• Virtual windows can now also be moved up from the virtual terminal area
• FLineEdit and FTextView widgets now have additional public methods for more control
• FLineEdit can set the alignment (left, center, or right) for the content of the entry
• Individual columns can now be shown and hidden in FListView
• Widget flags are now grouped in a hierarchical structure
• New methods removeColumn() and removeAllColumns() for the FListView to remove columns
• The terminal output class (derived from FOutput) can now be changed using the constructor of the FVTerm class
• A new example demonstrates parallax scrolling with multi-layered stars
• A new example to view X PixMap (XPM) images in a terminal
• FObject now supports reverse iterators
• The application is now notified when the focus changes in the terminal window through the new onTermFocusIn() and onTermFocusOut() event methods
• FDialog size and position changes are now executed immediately before terminal output to redraw mouse-based changes just before output

0.8.0

What's new:

• Support for combined unicode characters
• An FDialog object is now minimizable
• Better support for kitty terminals
• FINAL CUT now runs on GNU Hurd
• Faster key string parsing
• All buttons in the title bar are now hideable
• Dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate from 5 to 60 Hz
• A generic output queue for strings, control characters, and control sequences
• A specific padding print method sends all control codes to the terminal
• Wide strings get converted to UTF-8 text before pushing them to the output buffer to speed up the character output.
• Widgets now have the virtual method initLayout() to initialize the layout before the first drawing on the terminal
• Correct processing of multiple SIGWINCH signals sent by the gnome-terminal under Wayland.
• Prevent flickering on terminal scrolling, resizing and redrawing via ctrl-l
• Change timer from timeval to std::chrono::time_point
• The source code components are now better structured by several subdirectories

0.7.1

• Bugfix: The cursor position was not changed anymore if there was no change to the content
• Forcing a direct update for faster terminal output

0.7.0

What's new:

• FWidgetColors and FColorPalette now have virtual methods so you can easily create your own color theme.
• FINAL CUT now has a dark theme
• FStyle objects for manipulating video attributes in output streams
• New widget class FSpinBox to provide spin boxes
• New widget class FComboBox to provide a dropdown list with an input field
• New widget FBusyIndicator to indicate background activity
• New class FStringStream implements input and output operations on FString based streams
• FLineEdit can obscure password inputs
• Unicode support for 8x16graph font
• The new SGRoptimizer makes it possible to combine several consecutive parameters
• A lazy initialization that is executed when show() is called
• The new class FLogger for logging, which can be redirected to different I/O channels. std::clog now streams everything to the FLogger object
• A new callback backend was implemented, which allows to call functions with an arbitrary number of arguments
• The generic data type FDataPtr is now deprecated and was completely replaced by the template class FData
• Many code improvements...

0.6.0

What's new:

• Switch the entire code base to C++11
• The Cygwin and Linux console does not use cp437 character encoding by default anymore
• print() can now get an FPoint object as an argument to change the cursor position
• By printing the new FColorPair object, you can change the foreground and background color together
• PC speaker control for the FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD consoles
• FLineEdit is now able to define a character input filter via regular expression (regex)
