e5a7609 (line) Impl From<Cow> for Line by @joshka in #1373 [breaking]
BREAKING-CHANGES:
Line
now implementsFrom<Cow<str>
As this adds an extra conversion, ambiguous inferred values may no longer
compile.// given: struct Foo { ... } impl From<Foo> for String { ... } impl From<Foo> for Cow<str> { ... } let foo = Foo { ... }; let line = Line::from(foo); // now fails due to ambiguous type inference // replace with let line = Line::from(String::from(foo));
Fixes:#1367

2805ddd (logo) Add a Ratatui logo widget by @joshka in #1307
This is a simple logo widget that can be used to render the Ratatui logo
in the terminal. It is used in theexamples/ratatui-logo.rs
example,
and may be used in your applications' help or about screens.use ratatui::{Frame, widgets::RatatuiLogo}; fn draw(frame: &mut Frame) { frame.render_widget(RatatuiLogo::tiny(), frame.area()); }

d72968d (scrolling-regions) Use terminal scrolling regions to stop Terminal::insert_before from flickering by @nfachan in #1341 [breaking]
The current implementation of Terminal::insert_before causes the
viewport to flicker. This is described in #584 .This PR removes that flickering by using terminal scrolling regions
(sometimes called "scroll regions"). A terminal can have its scrolling
region set to something other than the whole screen. When a scroll ANSI
sequence is sent to the terminal and it has a non-default scrolling
region, the terminal will scroll just inside of that region.We use scrolling regions to implement insert_before. We create a region
on the screen above the viewport, scroll that up to make room for the
newly inserted lines, and then draw the new lines. We may need to repeat
this process depending on how much space there is and how many lines we
need to draw.When the viewport takes up the entire screen, we take a modified
approach. We create a scrolling region of just the top line (could be
more) of the viewport, then use that to draw the lines we want to
output. When we're done, we scroll it up by one line, into the
scrollback history, and then redraw the top line from the viewport.A final edge case is when the viewport hasn't yet reached the bottom of
the screen. This case, we set up a different scrolling region, where the
top is the top of the viewport, and the bottom is the viewport's bottom
plus the number of lines we want to scroll by. We then scroll this
region down to open up space above the viewport for drawing the inserted
lines.Regardless of what we do, we need to reset the scrolling region. This PR
takes the approach of always resetting the scrolling region after every
operation. So the Backend gets new scroll_region_up and
scroll_region_down methods instead of set_scrolling_region, scroll_up,
scroll_down, and reset_scrolling_region methods. We chose that approach
for two reasons. First, we don't want Ratatui to have to remember that
state and then reset the scrolling region when tearing down. Second, the
pre-Windows-10 console code doesn't support scrolling regionThis PR:
- Adds a new scrolling-regions feature.
- Adds two new Backend methods: scroll_region_up and scroll_region_down.
- Implements those Backend methods on all backends in the codebase.
- The crossterm and termion implementations use raw ANSI escape
sequences. I'm trying to merge changes into those two projects
separately to support these functions. - Adds code to Terminal::insert_before to choose between
insert_before_scrolling_regions and insert_before_no_scrolling_regions.
The latter is the old implementation. - Adds lots of tests to the TestBackend to for the
scrolling-region-related Backend methods. - Adds versions of terminal tests that show that insert_before doesn't
clobber the viewport. This is a change in behavior from before.

dc8d058 (table) Add support for selecting column and cell by @airblast-dev in #1331 [breaking]
Fixes #1250
Adds support for selecting a column and cell in
TableState
. The
selected column, and cells style can be set by
Table::column_highlight_style
andTable::cell_highlight_style
respectively.The table example has also been updated to display the new
functionality:table_col_cel_selection.mp4
BREAKING CHANGE:The Serialized output of the state will now include the
"selected_column" field. Software that manually parse the serialized the
output (with anything other than theSerialize
implementation on
TableState
) may have to be refactored if the "selected_column" field
is not accounted for. This does not affect users who rely on the
Deserialize
, orSerialize
implementation on the state.BREAKING CHANGE:The
Table::highlight_style
is now deprecated in favor
ofTable::row_highlight_style
.

ab6b1fe (tabs) Allow tabs to be deselected by @joshka in #1413 [breaking]
Tabs::select()
now acceptsInto<Option<usize>>
instead ofusize
.
This allows tabs to be deselected by passingNone
.Tabs::default()
is now also implemented manually instead of deriving
Default
, and a new methodTabs::titles()
is added to set the titles
of the tabs.Fixes:#1412
BREAKING CHANGE:
Tabs::select()
now acceptsInto<Option<usize>>
which breaks any code already using parameter type inference:let selected = 1u8; - let tabs = Tabs::new(["A", "B"]).select(selected.into()) + let tabs = Tabs::new(["A", "B"]).select(selected as usize)

and is no longer const -
453a308 (uncategorized) Add overlap to layout by @kdheepak in #1398 [breaking]
This PR adds a new feature for the existing
Layout::spacing
method,
and introducing aSpacing
enum.Now
Layout::spacing
is generic and can take- zero or positive numbers, e.g.
Layout::spacing(1)
(current
functionality) - negative number, e.g.
Layout::spacing(-1)
(new) - variant of the
Spacing
(new)
This allows creating layouts with a shared pixel for segments. When
spacing(negative_value)
is used, spacing is ignored and all segments
will be adjacent and have pixels overlapping.
spacing(zero_or_positive_value)
behaves the same as before. These are
internally converted toSpacing::Overlap
orSpacing::Space
.Here's an example output to illustrate the layout solve from this PR:
#[test] fn test_layout() { use crate::layout::Constraint::*; let mut terminal = crate::Terminal::new(crate::backend::TestBackend::new(50, 4)).unwrap(); terminal .draw(|frame| { let [upper, lower] = Layout::vertical([Fill(1), Fill(1)]).areas(frame.area()); let (segments, spacers) = Layout::horizontal([Length(10), Length(10), Length(10)]) .flex(Flex::Center) .split_with_spacers(upper); for segment in segments.iter() { frame.render_widget( crate::widgets::Block::bordered() .border_set(crate::symbols::border::DOUBLE), *segment, ); } for spacer in spacers.iter() { frame.render_widget(crate::widgets::Block::bordered(), *spacer); } let (segments, spacers) = Layout::horizontal([Length(10), Length(10), Length(10)]) .flex(Flex::Center) .spacing(-1) // new feature .split_with_spacers(lower); for segment in segments.iter() { frame.render_widget( crate::widgets::Block::bordered() .border_set(crate::symbols::border::DOUBLE), *segment, ); } for spacer in spacers.iter() { frame.render_widget(crate::widgets::Block::bordered(), *spacer); } }) .unwrap(); dbg!(terminal.backend()); }

4f5503d (color) Hsl and hsluv are now clamped before conversion by @joshka in #1436 [breaking]
The
from_hsl
andfrom_hsluv
functions now clamp the HSL and HSLuv
values before converting them to RGB. This ensures that the input values
are within the expected range before conversion.Also note that the ranges of Saturation and Lightness values have been
aligned to be consistent with the palette crate. Saturation and Lightness
forfrom_hsl
are now in the range [0.0..1.0] whilefrom_hsluv
are
in the range [0.0..100.0].Refs:- Ogeon/palette#253

3df685e (rect) Rect::area now returns u32 and Rect::new() no longer clamps area to u16::MAX by @joshka in #1378 [breaking]
This change fixes the unexpected behavior of the Rect::new() function to
be more intuitive. The Rect::new() function now clamps the width and
height of the rectangle to keep each bound within u16::MAX. The
Rect::area() function now returns a u32 instead of a u16 to allow for
larger areas to be calculated.Previously, the Rect::new() function would clamp the total area of the
rectangle to u16::MAX, by preserving the aspect ratio of the rectangle.BREAKING CHANGE:Rect::area() now returns a u32 instead of a u16.

a52ee82 (text) Truncate based on alignment by @Lunderberg in #1432
This is a follow-up PR to #987,
which implemented alignment-aware truncation for theLine
widget.
However, the truncation only checked theLine::alignment
field, and
any alignment inherited from a parent'sText::alignment
field would
not be used.This commit updates the truncation of
Line
to depend both on the
individualLine::alignment
, and on any alignment inherited from the
parent'sText::alignment

67c0ea2 (block) Deprecate block::Title by @joshka in #1372
ratatui::widgets::block::Title
is deprecated in favor of usingLine
to represent titles.
This removes an unnecessary layer of wrapping (string -> Span -> Line ->
Title).This struct will be removed in a future release of Ratatui (likely
0.31).
For more information see:To update your code:
Block::new().title(Title::from("foo")); // becomes any of Block::new().title("foo"); Block::new().title(Line::from("foo")); Block::new().title(Title::from("foo").position(Position::TOP)); // becomes any of Block::new().title_top("foo"); Block::new().title_top(Line::from("foo")); Block::new().title(Title::from("foo").position(Position::BOTTOM)); // becomes any of Block::new().title_bottom("foo"); Block::new().title_bottom(Line::from("foo"));

6515097 (cargo) Check in Cargo.lock by @joshka in #1434
When kept up to date, this makes it possible to build any git version
with the same versions of crates that were used for any version, without
it, you can only use the current versions. This makes bugs in semver
compatible code difficult to detect.The Cargo.lock file is not used by downstream consumers of the crate, so
it is safe to include it in the repository (and recommended by the Rust
docs).See:- https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/faq.html#why-have-cargolock-in-version-control

5ad623c (uncategorized) Remove usage of prelude by @joshka in #1390
This helps make the doc examples more explicit about what is being used.
It will also makes it a bit easier to do future refactoring of Ratatui,
into several crates, as the ambiguity of where types are coming from
will be reduced.Additionally, several doc examples have been simplified to use Stylize,
and necessary imports are no longer hidden.This doesn't remove the prelude. Only the internal usages.
