We need it to handle keyboard input + properly and since xkbcommon-0.2.0 is released, there is no reason to + not depend on it. + We also removed the plain-input backend with this change. + + * Snap window to console/font-size on resize (wlterm) + + * Adjust to new libwayland-1.0 (wlterm) + + * Many new command-line options for wlterm including --term, --login, + --palette, --sb-size and many --grab-* options. + + * fake-VTs no longer react on SIGUSR1/2. This was always broken and now + removed. + + * --switchvt works again and is now enabled by default. + + * --xkb-model was introduced. The other --xkb-<rmlvo> options also use + system-defaults instead of us-keymap as default value now. + + * wlterm works properly in maximized and fullscreen mode now + + * key-presses are now properly marked as "handled" so it is no longer + possible for two subsystems to handle the same key-press. + + * wlterm can now zoom the font size with ctrl+Plus/Minus + + * TSM now supports screen selections. wlterm is hooked up with this and + supports this, too. However, the VTE layer has not seen this yet so + everything is computed in the terminal for now. Next kmscon release + will include client-side mouse-protocol support. + + * Copy/Paste now works with wlterm + + * Key-repeat has been reworked and now allows adjusting repeat and delay + times. + + * Session support allows for multiple terminals (sessions) inside of + each seat. You can switch between the sessions, kill them and create + new terminals via keyboard shortcuts. Also several other sessions than + terminal sessions were introduced. However, all of them are + experimental and shouldn't be used. + + * TSM now supports alternate screen buffers. They're enabled by default. + + * Configuration handling has been reworked. Multiple config-files can + now be parsed and each seat has its own configuration file in + /etc/kmscon/<seat>.seat.conf. + + * The build-tools have been reworked. They should now work properly with + any option-combination imaginable. + + * --login option can now be used in config-files. + + * We print hints if keyboard-shortcut names are written with wrong + capitalization. + + * ... and a lot of bugfixes + CHANGES WITH 5: * Idle sources are now faster registered and unregistered so they can be used for any scheduling tasks |
