LGPL-3.0-or-later
* Mon Feb 09 2026 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.18.1:
* New option: --probe-mode=[any|ctty|stdio]. This specifies whether to probe
the terminal through stdio or ctty (usually /dev/tty). Defaults to any,
which will probe stdio if it looks like a tty, otherwise the ctty. This
allows the terminal to be probed when I/O is redirected (#325)
* We now try harder to restore the terminal to a usable state after SIGINT is
received, even if we couldn't do a clean exit in a reasonable time frame
(#309)
* Bash completions were added and zsh completions updated (#315).
* Improved compatibility for the Kitty protocol, specifically with iTerm2.
* Bug fixes:
+ #184 Test failure on sparc64.
+ #292 Test failure on i386.
+ #321 Bad console modes on win32 after exit.
+ [unfiled] Stalling on closed output pipe on OpenBSD.
* Tue Nov 11 2025 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.18.0:
* Increased GLib minimum version to 2.58 (released in 2018).
* New options: --files=FNAME and --files0=FNAME. These allow reading
lists of input files from a file or standard input. Paths can be
separated by newlines or a zero byte (--files0). These options can
be specified multiple times.
* New option: --link=[auto|on|off]. When used with --label, this
controls whether each label should be an OSC 8-style hyperlink to
its input file.
* Multiple files can now be decoded in parallel. This greatly speeds
up grid mode on multi-core systems. Controllable with --threads.
* ConHost support was removed due to incompleteness and lack of interest.
* Image loaders:
+ Added support for CoreGraphics loaders on MacOS (#301).
+ Added support for HEIF files on all platforms (#297).
* Terminal support:
+ Improved detection of ghostty inside tmux (#296).
+ Added support for GNU/Hurd console.
* Tests:
+ Expanded symbol matching tests with more cases and detailed diagnostics.
+ Added a test for CLI tool return values in various scenarios.
* Bug fixes:
+ #293 Don't leave stdin in non-blocking mode.
+ [unfiled] Use glibtoolize when libtoolize is unavailable.
+ [unfiled] GNU/Hurd: Don't stall if pipe is closed on remote end.
+ [unfiled] _mm_empty() not always called immediately after MMX use.
+ [unfiled] FP division by zero possible in sixel palette generation.
+ [unfiled] Don't wait for response if probing is unsupported.
+ [unfiled] Wrong exit code returned on some failures.

- Update to 1.16.2:
* #288 SVG scaling seems to be done after bitmap conversion
* [unfiled] MinGW: Undeclared function error for strlen()
* [unfiled] Assert when using chafa_canvas_draw_all_pixels() with Kitty passthrough
* [unfiled] Hangs when running with closed stdin
* [unfiled] Potential overrun when output dimension is exactly 1 pixel.
* [unfiled] Small memory leak on failed load in the grid layout.
* [unfiled] Occasional warnings from JPEG loader that should not be printed.
* Mon Jun 02 2025 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.16.1:
* Bug fixes:
[#282] Fish completion not included in release tarball
[#283] Piping and redirection are broken in Windows
* Mon Jun 02 2025 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.16.0:
* Added terminal probing. Currently we can determine geometry, colors
and sixel capabilities this way. This supplements the existing heuristics.
* The internal terminal database and heuristics were refactored for
clarity, with new API added to simplify the configuration process.
* I/O is now threaded, resulting in improved responsiveness and pipelining.
* New option: --grid=WxH, --grid=[auto|on|off] or -g. This lays out
multiple images in a grid for easy browsing.
* New option: --label=[on|off] or -l. Labels each image with its filename.
Works in both continuous and grid layouts.
* New option: --probe=[auto|on|off]. Controls whether to actively probe the
terminal. Can take a real number denoting how long to wait for a response.
* Sixel quality improved significantly. The quantizer was reimplemented with modern algorithms
(#174), and blue noise dithering was introduced (#238).
* The new blue noise dithering is also available in symbols mode, and can be turned on with
- -dither noise. It can be turned off with --dither none.
* Numerous small improvements were made to sixel handling:
+ Terminal cursor placement quirks are now represented and handled.
+ Images can now cover their cell extents completely.
+ Workaround for animations "walking up the screen" on quirky terminals.
* The JPEG XL loader was improved with optional memory mapping and better container support
* Enabled wildcard expansion in Windows builds (#266).
* Added completions for the fish shell and updated those for zsh.
* Bug fixes:
+ #111 Provide auto detection of background for perception of transparency
+ #228 Sixel capability not detected in foot + tmux
+ #236 Ghostty shows pwd/lock indicator when using Chafa
+ #238 Sixel image quality significantly different from img2sixel and ImageMagick
+ #239 Chafa leaves echo on
+ #245 JPEG file not recognized
+ #246 Examples using deprecated functions
+ #249 Sixel detection doesn't set default values
+ #254 -t 1 doesn't work with -f iterm
+ #255 Animations scroll/walk up the screen
+ #265 Enable Kitty image protocol for Warp
+ #266 On Windows, in a cmd.exe window, filename wildcard expansion is broken
+ #273 -t 1 messes up some images
+ #274 -f {kitty,iterm} swaps BG color channels for SVG
+ #278 Images not always padded to cell boundary
+ [unfiled] Fix broken bashisms resulting in logic failure
+ [unfiled] Small leak in chafa_canvas_print_rows()
+ [unfiled] Uninitialized histogram in nearest-neighbor interp.

* Fri Jul 26 2024 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.14.2:
* #203 Chafa 1.14.1 fails to build on i686
* #205 Symbols mode not working since 1.14.1
* #206 Crash when importing more than 32767 glyphs

* A JPEG XL (.jxl) loader was added using libjxl (#188).
* Added detection of the Eat "Emulate a Terminal" Emacs terminal.
* Symbols mode was sped up significantly on AVX2-capable platforms.

* Tue May 21 2024 pallas wept <pallaswept@proton.me>
- Enable optional image formats
* jpeg
* svg
* tiff
* webp
* Mon Jan 08 2024 Joshua Smith <jsmithfpv@gmail.com>
- Update to 1.14.0:
* Removed ImageMagick loader support. Packagers can now remove
this dependency
* Polite mode is now off by default. The new default eliminates
cursor flicker and makes the output more robust against unusual
terminal settings. The old behavior can be restored with
- -polite on.
* Added image loaders for the AVIF and QOI formats.
* sRGB gamma is now handled correctly in scaling operations.
* New option: --passthrough=<auto|none|screen|tmux>. This allows
passing graphics protocols like Sixels, iTerm and Kitty through
a terminal multiplexer. It will be enabled automatically for
Kitty, and can be enabled manually for other protocols with
more limited support
* New option: --view-size=<WxH>. Specifies width and height of
the viewport, overriding the detected terminal size
* New option: --fit-width. Fits images to the width of the
viewport, allowing them to be taller than the viewport's height
* New option: --relative=<bool>. Enables relative cursor
positioning. Useful if you've pre-positioned the cursor at a
particular offset where you want frames to appear, but tends to
make the output illegible in pagers, e.g. less -R
* New option: --exact-size=<auto|on|off>. Preserves the input
pixel size when possible. Useful to avoid artifacts caused
by resampling
* New symbol selector: imported. This selects glyphs loaded with
- -glyph-file
* Fontgen: Added a BDF font writer
* Fontgen: Cleanup and modernization
* The help text and manual page were overhauled for readability,
and the API documentation now includes symbol indexes by version
and deprecation status.
* Added a zsh completion script
* Fix "unknown file format" when using AVIF on stdin
* Fix broken linking with libwebp-1.3.1
* Fix make check with --without-tools
* Fix --duration not working well with still images
* Fix sixel rendering of animations
* Fix operator precedence in geometry calculation
* Mon May 22 2023 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.12.5:
* Fix #123 crash on canvas created with chafa_canvas_new_similar()
* Fix #141 distortion when rowstride is not a multiple of 4
* Fix missing comma in --help output
